Baseline EEG pattern on continuous ICU EEG monitoring and incidence of seizures.
(J Clin Neurophysiol, 2015-04)
PURPOSE: To identify the probability of detecting nonconvulsive seizures based on
the initial pattern seen in the first 30 minutes of continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring.
METHODS: Continuous EEG monitoring reports from 243 ...
Hypertension and obesity as cardiovascular risk factors among HIV seropositive patients in Western Kenya.
(PLoS One, 2011)
BACKGROUND: There is increased risk of cardiovascular disease among HIV seropositive
individuals. The prevalence of HIV is highest in sub-Saharan Africa; however, HIV-related
cardiovascular risk research is largely derived ...
Differential developmental trajectories of magnetic susceptibility in human brain gray and white matter over the lifespan.
(Hum Brain Mapp, 2014-06)
As indicated by several recent studies, magnetic susceptibility of the brain is influenced
mainly by myelin in the white matter and by iron deposits in the deep nuclei. Myelination
and iron deposition in the brain evolve ...
Age, gender, and cancer but not neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases strongly modulate systemic effect of the Apolipoprotein E4 allele on lifespan.
(PLoS Genet, 2014-01)
Enduring interest in the Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) polymorphism is ensured by its evolutionary-driven
uniqueness in humans and its prominent role in geriatrics and gerontology. We use
large samples of longitudinally followed ...
Hepatic histological findings in suspected drug-induced liver injury: systematic evaluation and clinical associations.
(Hepatology (Baltimore, Md.), 2014-02)
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is considered to be a diagnosis of exclusion. Liver
biopsy may contribute to diagnostic accuracy, but the histological features of DILI
and their relationship to biochemical parameters and ...
Differential prevalence and geographic distribution of hepatitis C virus genotypes in acute and chronic hepatitis C patients in Vietnam.
(PloS one, 2019-01)
BACKGROUND:The highest burden of disease from hepatitis C virus (HCV) is found in
Southeast Asia, but our understanding of the epidemiology of infection in many heavily
burdened countries is still limited. In particular, ...
Comparative effectiveness studies to improve clinical outcomes in end stage renal disease: the DEcIDE patient outcomes in end stage renal disease study.
(BMC Nephrol, 2012-12-06)
BACKGROUND: Evidence is lacking to inform providers' and patients' decisions about
many common treatment strategies for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD).
METHODS/DESIGN: The DEcIDE Patient Outcomes in ESRD Study ...
Effects of task instruction on autobiographical memory specificity in young and older adults.
(Memory, 2014)
Older adults tend to retrieve autobiographical information that is overly general
(i.e., not restricted to a single event, termed the overgenerality effect) relative
to young adults' specific memories. A vast majority of ...
Hospital mortality of patients aged 80 and older after surgical repair for type A acute aortic dissection in Japan.
(Medicine, 2016-08)
To evaluate whether patients aged 80 and older have higher risk of hospital mortality
after repair of type A acute aortic dissection (TAAAD).Emergency surgery for TAAAD
in patients aged 80 and older remains a controversial ...
Discordance in Grading Methods of Aortic Stenosis by Pre-Cardiopulmonary Bypass Transesophageal Echocardiography.
(Anesth Analg, 2016-04)
BACKGROUND: Current guidelines define severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) as an aortic
valve area (AVA) ≤1.0 cm by the continuity equation and mean gradient (ΔPm) ≥ 40 mm
Hg. However, these measurements can be discordant when ...
