Emergency department point-of-care ultrasound in out-of-hospital and in-ED cardiac arrest.
(Resuscitation, 2016-12)
Point-of-care ultrasound has been suggested to improve outcomes from advanced cardiac
life support (ACLS), but no large studies have explored how it should be incorporated
into ACLS. Our aim was to determine whether cardiac ...
Validation of the modified Sgarbossa criteria for acute coronary occlusion in the setting of left bundle branch block: A retrospective case-control study.
(American heart journal, 2015-12)
The modified Sgarbossa criteria were proposed in a derivation study to be superior
to the original criteria for diagnosing acute coronary occlusion (ACO) in left bundle
branch block (LBBB). The new rule replaces the third ...
Evaluation of T-Wave Morphology in Patients With Left Bundle Branch Block and Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome.
(The Journal of emergency medicine, 2016-09)
T-wave morphology in the setting of left bundle branch block (LBBB) has been proposed
as an indicator of myocardial ischemia.We sought to identify T-wave morphology findings
in patients with LBBB that predict non-ST-segment ...
Interactions between life stress factors and carrying the APOE4 allele adversely impact self-reported health in old adults.
(The Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences, 2011-10)
Based on the multiple logistic regression analysis of data from a random sample of
1,023 old adults collected in Taiwan in 2000, we found that interactions between carrying
the APOE4 allele and one of four life stress factors ...
Awareness of Cervical Cancer Causes and Predeterminants of Likelihood to Screen Among Women in Haiti.
(Journal of lower genital tract disease, 2017-01)
Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women in Haiti. Given
this high disease burden, we sought to better understand women's knowledge of its
causes and the sociodemographic and health correlates of ...
Predictive Modeling of Length of Hospital Stay Following Adult Spinal Deformity Correction: Analysis of 653 Patients with an Accuracy of 75% within 2 Days.
(World neurosurgery, 2018-07)
Length of stay (LOS) after surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD) is a critical
period that allows for optimal recovery. Predictive models that estimate LOS allow
for stratification of high-risk patients.A prospectively ...
Peak Timing for Complications After Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery.
(World neurosurgery, 2018-07)
Overall complication rates for adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery have been reported;
however, little data exist on the peak timing associated with specific complications.
This study quantifies the peak timing for multiple ...

(BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2014-01)
BACKGROUND: We explored psychometric properties of the Osteoporosis Assessment Questionnaire
2.0 in terms of reliability, validity, and responsiveness with generic, clinical,
demographic, and preference-based data collected ...

Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI), or the presence of air in the bowel wall, is a rare
disorder that is associated with a variety of underlying diseases, including connective
tissue disorders. PI presents on a spectrum from ...

(The Journal of cardiovascular nursing, 2017-09)
We present the design and feasibility testing for the "Digital Drag and Drop Pillbox"
(D-3 Pillbox), a skill-based educational approach that engages patients and providers,
measures performance, and generates reports of ...
