Gastrointestinal morbidity as primary outcome measure in studies comparing crystalloid and colloid within a goal-directed therapy.
(British journal of anaesthesia, 2015-01)
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 ...
Confounders versus Mediators: An Important Distinction.
(Anesthesiology, 2015-07)
Associations of PI3KR1 and mTOR polymorphisms with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma risk and gene-environment interactions in Eastern Chinese populations.
(Scientific reports, 2015-01)
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PI3K/PTEN/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway
may contribute to carcinogenesis. We genotyped five potentially functional PIK3R1
and mTOR SNPs in 1116 esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) ...
Predicting euarchontan body mass: A comparison of tarsal and dental variables.
(American journal of physical anthropology, 2015-07)
Multiple meaningful ecological characterizations of a species revolve around body
mass. Because body mass cannot be directly measured in extinct taxa, reliable body
mass predictors are needed. Many published body mass prediction ...
Genetic variants in fanconi anemia pathway genes BRCA2 and FANCA predict melanoma survival.
(The Journal of investigative dermatology, 2015-02)
Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is the most lethal skin cancer. The Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway
involved in DNA crosslink repair may affect CM susceptibility and prognosis. Using
data derived from published genome-wide association ...
Incremenal Value of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance for Assessing Pulmonic Valve Regurgitation.
(The Journal of heart valve disease, 2015-07)
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the 'gold standard' for quantifying pulmonic regurgitation
(PR) in adults with congenital heart disease, but remains costly and is less readily
available than echocardiography. Qualitative ...
Predictors and outcomes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteremia among patients with HIV and tuberculosis co-infection enrolled in the ACTG A5221 STRIDE study.
(BMC Infect Dis, 2015-01-13)
BACKGROUND: We evaluated predictors and outcomes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteremia
among participants undergoing baseline mycobacterial blood culture in the ACTG A5221
STRIDE study, a randomized clinical trial comparing ...
Steps to Health employee weight management randomized control trial: short-term follow-up results.
(J Occup Environ Med, 2015-02)
OBJECTIVE: To present the short-term follow-up findings of the Steps to Health study,
a randomized trial to evaluate the effectiveness of two employee weight management
programs offered within Duke University and the Health ...
Association between Initial Fluid Choice and Subsequent In-hospital Mortality during the Resuscitation of Adults with Septic Shock.
(Anesthesiology, 2015-12)
BACKGROUND: Currently, guidelines recommend initial resuscitation with intravenous
(IV) crystalloids during severe sepsis/septic shock. Albumin is suggested as an alternative.
However, fluid mixtures are often used in practice, ...
