Prolonged B-cell depletion in MuSK myasthenia gravis following rituximab treatment.
(Muscle Nerve, 2013-12)
Assessing acute systemic effects of an inhaled drug with serial echocardiography: a placebo-controlled comparison of inhaled and intravenous dihydroergotamine.
(Drug Des Devel Ther, 2013)
OBJECTIVE: MAP0004 is an investigational product which delivers dihydroergotamine
(DHE) through the lung via a breath-synchronized metered dose inhaler. The objective
of this study was to compare the acute effects of orally ...
Comparison of performance achievement award recognition with primary stroke center certification for acute ischemic stroke care.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2013-10-14)
BACKGROUND: Hospital certification and recognition programs represent 2 independent
but commonly used systems to distinguish hospitals, yet they have not been directly
compared. This study assessed acute ischemic stroke ...
Alglucosidase alfa enzyme replacement therapy as a therapeutic approach for glycogen storage disease type III.
(Mol Genet Metab, 2013-02)
We investigated the feasibility of using recombinant human acid-α glucosidase (rhGAA,
Alglucosidase alfa), an FDA approved therapy for Pompe disease, as a treatment approach
for glycogen storage disease type III (GSD III). ...
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 ...
Algorithm for the early diagnosis and treatment of patients with cross reactive immunologic material-negative classic infantile pompe disease: a step towards improving the efficacy of ERT.
(PLoS One, 2013)
OBJECTIVE: Although enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is a highly effective therapy,
CRIM-negative (CN) infantile Pompe disease (IPD) patients typically mount a strong
immune response which abrogates the efficacy of ERT, ...
Referring heroin users from compulsory detoxification centers to community methadone maintenance treatment: a comparison of three models.
(BMC Public Health, 2013-08-13)
BACKGROUND: Both compulsory detoxification treatment and community-based methadone
maintenance treatment (MMT) exist for heroin addicts in China. We aim to examine the
effectiveness of three intervention models for referring ...
Gender and age interact to affect early outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage.
(PLoS One, 2013)
BACKGROUND: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a common and devastating form of cerebrovascular
disease. In ICH, gender differences in outcomes remain relatively understudied but
have been examined in other neurological ...
A functional polymorphism in the 5HTR2C gene associated with stress responses also predicts incident cardiovascular events.
(PLoS One, 2013)
Previously we have shown that a functional nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphism
(rs6318) of the 5HTR2C gene located on the X-chromosome is associated with hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal
axis response to a stress ...
Patterns in blood pressure medication use in US incident dialysis patients over the first 6 months.
(BMC Nephrol, 2013-11-12)
BACKGROUND: Several observational studies have evaluated the effect of a single exposure
window with blood pressure (BP) medications on outcomes in incident dialysis patients,
but whether BP medication prescription patterns ...
