Specialist and primary care physicians' views on barriers to adequate preparation of patients for renal replacement therapy: a qualitative study.
(BMC Nephrol, 2015-03-28)
BACKGROUND: Early preparation for renal replacement therapy (RRT) is recommended for
patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), yet many patients initiate RRT
urgently and/or are inadequately prepared. METHODS: ...
Is implementation fidelity associated with improved access to care in a school-based Child and Family Team model?
(Eval Program Plann, 2015-04)
Effective child and family centered service planning is crucial to addressing vulnerable
children's needs. However, there is limited evidence about what facets of these processes
improve service use and outcomes. The current ...
Gene Expression Profiles Link Respiratory Viral Infection, Platelet Response to Aspirin, and Acute Myocardial Infarction.
(PLoS One, 2015)
BACKGROUND: Influenza infection is associated with myocardial infarction (MI), suggesting
that respiratory viral infection may induce biologic pathways that contribute to MI.
We tested the hypotheses that 1) a validated ...
CLARITY and PACT-based imaging of adult zebrafish and mouse for whole-animal analysis of infections.
(Dis Model Mech, 2015-12)
Visualization of infection and the associated host response has been challenging in
adult vertebrates. Owing to their transparency, zebrafish larvae have been used to
directly observe infection in vivo; however, such larvae ...
Maternal HIV-1 envelope-specific antibody responses and reduced risk of perinatal transmission.
(J Clin Invest, 2015-07-01)
Despite the wide availability of antiretroviral drugs, more than 250,000 infants are
vertically infected with HIV-1 annually, emphasizing the need for additional interventions
to eliminate pediatric HIV-1 infections. Here, ...
Validation of ICDPIC software injury severity scores using a large regional trauma registry.
(Inj Prev, 2015-10)
BACKGROUND: Administrative or quality improvement registries may or may not contain
the elements needed for investigations by trauma researchers. International Classification
of Diseases Program for Injury Categorisation ...
Patient expectation is the most important predictor of discharge destination after primary total joint arthroplasty.
(J Arthroplasty, 2015-04)
The purpose of this study was to identify preoperative predictors of discharge destination
after total joint arthroplasty. A retrospective study of three hundred and seventy-two
consecutive patients who underwent primary ...
The relationship between blood IL-12p40 level and melanoma progression.
(Int J Cancer, 2015-04-15)
Cytokines such as Interleukin (IL)-12p70 ("IL-12") and IL-23 can influence tumor progression.
We tested the hypothesis that blood levels of IL-12p40, the common subunit of both
cytokines, are associated with melanoma progression. ...
Fear learning circuitry is biased toward generalization of fear associations in posttraumatic stress disorder.
(Transl Psychiatry, 2015-12-15)
Fear conditioning is an established model for investigating posttraumatic stress disorder
(PTSD). However, symptom triggers may vaguely resemble the initial traumatic event,
differing on a variety of sensory and affective ...
Convergent differential regulation of SLIT-ROBO axon guidance genes in the brains of vocal learners.
(J Comp Neurol, 2015-04-15)
Only a few distantly related mammals and birds have the trait of complex vocal learning,
which is the ability to imitate novel sounds. This ability is critical for speech
acquisition and production in humans, and is attributed ...
