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 ...
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 ...
The Digital Drag and Drop Pillbox: Design and Feasibility of a Skill-based Education Model to Improve Medication Management.
(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 ...
TNFRSF1B +676 T>G polymorphism predicts survival of non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with chemoradiotherapy.
(BMC cancer, 2011-10-14)
The dysregulation of gene expression in the TNF-TNFR superfamily has been involved
in various human cancers including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Furthermore,
functional polymorphisms in TNF-α and TNFRSF1B genes ...
Correlation between base-excision repair gene polymorphisms and levels of in-vitro BPDE-induced DNA adducts in cultured peripheral blood lymphocytes.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
In vitro benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide (BPDE)-induced DNA adducts in cultured peripheral
lymphocytes have been shown to be a phenotypic biomarker of individual's DNA repair
phenotype that is associated with cancer risk. In ...
Dietary Patterns Associated with Cognitive Function among the Older People in Underdeveloped Regions: Finding from the NCDFaC Study.
(Nutrients, 2018-04-09)
Although dietary patterns are crucial to cognitive function, associations of dietary
patterns with cognitive function have not yet been fully understood. This cross-sectional
study explored dietary patterns associated with ...
