A blood-based biomarker panel to risk-stratify mild traumatic brain injury.
(PloS one, 2017-01)Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) accounts for the vast majority of the nearly two million brain injuries suffered in the United States each year. Mild TBI is commonly classified as complicated (radiographic evidence of ... -
A clinical prediction model for long-term functional outcome after traumatic spinal cord injury based on acute clinical and imaging factors.
(Journal of neurotrauma, 2012-09)To improve clinicians' ability to predict outcome after spinal cord injury (SCI) and to help classify patients within clinical trials, we have created a novel prediction model relating acute clinical and imaging information ... -
A new algorithm for predicting time to disease endpoints in Alzheimer's disease patients.
(J Alzheimers Dis, 2014)BACKGROUND: The ability to predict the length of time to death and institutionalization has strong implications for Alzheimer's disease patients and caregivers, health policy, economics, and the design of intervention studies. ... -
A predictive model and nomogram for predicting return to work at 3 months after cervical spine surgery: an analysis from the Quality Outcomes Database.
(Neurosurgical focus, 2018-11)OBJECTIVEBack pain and neck pain are two of the most common causes of work loss due to disability, which poses an economic burden on society. Due to recent changes in healthcare policies, patient-centered outcomes including ... -
A risk score for in-hospital death in patients admitted with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2013-01-28)BACKGROUND: We aimed to derive and validate a single risk score for predicting death from ischemic stroke (IS), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). METHODS AND RESULTS: Data from 333 865 stroke ... -
Adult age differences in frontostriatal representation of prediction error but not reward outcome.
(Cogn Affect Behav Neurosci, 2014-06)Emerging evidence from decision neuroscience suggests that although younger and older adults show similar frontostriatal representations of reward magnitude, older adults often show deficits in feedback-driven reinforcement ... -
An evaluation of remifentanil-sevoflurane response surface models in patients emerging from anesthesia: model improvement using effect-site sevoflurane concentrations.
(Anesth Analg, 2010-08)INTRODUCTION: We previously reported models that characterized the synergistic interaction between remifentanil and sevoflurane in blunting responses to verbal and painful stimuli. This preliminary study evaluated the ability ... -
Application of the estrogen threshold hypothesis to the physiologic hypoestrogenemia of lactation.
(Breastfeeding medicine : the official journal of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine, 2015-03)OBJECTIVE: This study determined the impact of breastfeeding on hypoestrogenic symptoms among women in the postpartum period and correlated these findings with the Estrogen Threshold Hypothesis, which postulates that the ... -
Are Higher Global Alignment and Proportion Scores Associated With Increased Risks of Mechanical Complications After Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery? An External Validation.
(Clinical orthopaedics and related research, 2021-02)<h4>Background</h4>The Global Alignment and Proportion (GAP) score, based on pelvic incidence-based proportional parameters, was recently developed to predict mechanical complications after surgery for spinal deformities ... -
Association of a Network of Immunologic Response and Clinical Features With the Functional Recovery From Crotalinae Snakebite Envenoming.
(Frontiers in immunology, 2021-01)<h4>Background</h4>The immunologic pathways activated during snakebite envenoming (SBE) are poorly described, and their association with recovery is unclear. The immunologic response in SBE could inform a prognostic model ... -
Bone scan positivity in non-metastatic, castrate-resistant prostate cancer: external validation study.
(International braz j urol : official journal of the Brazilian Society of Urology, 2020-01)<h4>Introduction</h4>Tables predicting the probability of a positive bone scan in men with non-metastatic, castrate-resistant prostate cancer have recently been reported. We performed an external validation study of these ... -
Can psychological features predict antidepressant response to rTMS? A Discovery-Replication approach.
(Psychological medicine, 2020-01)<h4>Background</h4>Few studies focused on the relationship between psychological measures, major depressive disorder (MDD) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) response. This study investigated several ... -
Change in classification grade by the SRS-Schwab Adult Spinal Deformity Classification predicts impact on health-related quality of life measures: prospective analysis of operative and nonoperative treatment.
(Spine, 2013-09)<h4>Study design</h4>Multicenter, prospective, consecutive series.<h4>Objective</h4>To evaluate responsiveness of the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS)-Schwab adult spinal deformity (ASD) classification to changes ... -
Chapter 11: challenges in and principles for conducting systematic reviews of genetic tests used as predictive indicators.
(Journal of general internal medicine, 2012-06)In this paper, we discuss common challenges in and principles for conducting systematic reviews of genetic tests. The types of genetic tests discussed are those used to 1). determine risk or susceptibility in asymptomatic ... -
Clinician judgment vs formal scales for predicting intracerebral hemorrhage outcomes.
(Neurology, 2016-01-12)OBJECTIVE: To compare the performance of formal prognostic instruments vs subjective clinical judgment with regards to predicting functional outcome in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). METHODS: This ... -
Complications associated with surgical treatment of traumatic spinal fractures: a review of the scoliosis research society morbidity and mortality database.
(World neurosurgery, 2014-05)<h4>Objective</h4>Traumatic spinal fracture is a common indication for surgery, with an associated high incidence of perioperative complications. The literature provides a wide range in the incidence of complications. We ... -
Development and implementation of a proficiency testing program for Luminex bead-based cytokine assays.
(Journal of Immunological Methods, 2014-07)Luminex bead array assays are widely used for rapid biomarker quantification due to the ability to measure up to 100 unique analytes in a single well of a 96-well plate. There has been, however, no comprehensive analysis ... -
