Patterns of care quality and prognosis among hospitalized ischemic stroke patients with chronic kidney disease.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2014-06-05)
BACKGROUND: Relatively little is known about the quality of care and outcomes for
hospitalized ischemic stroke patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We examined
quality of care and in-hospital prognoses among patients ...
Relationship of T2-Weighted MRI Myocardial Hyperintensity and the Ischemic Area-At-Risk.
(Circ Res, 2015-07-17)
RATIONALE: After acute myocardial infarction (MI), delineating the area-at-risk (AAR)
is crucial for measuring how much, if any, ischemic myocardium has been salvaged.
T2-weighted MRI is promoted as an excellent method to ...
Gene expression-based classifiers identify Staphylococcus aureus infection in mice and humans.
(PLoS One, 2013)
Staphylococcus aureus causes a spectrum of human infection. Diagnostic delays and
uncertainty lead to treatment delays and inappropriate antibiotic use. A growing literature
suggests the host's inflammatory response to the ...
Phosphoproteomic profiling of human myocardial tissues distinguishes ischemic from non-ischemic end stage heart failure.
(PLoS One, 2014)
The molecular differences between ischemic (IF) and non-ischemic (NIF) heart failure
are poorly defined. A better understanding of the molecular differences between these
two heart failure etiologies may lead to the development ...
Medication coaching program for patients with minor stroke or TIA: a pilot study.
(BMC Public Health, 2012-07-25)
BACKGROUND: Patients who are hospitalized with a first or recurrent stroke often are
discharged with new medications or adjustment to the doses of pre-admission medications,
which can be confusing and pose safety issues ...
Association of anxiety and depression with all-cause mortality in individuals with coronary heart disease.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2013-03-19)
BACKGROUND: Depression has been related to mortality in coronary heart disease (CHD)
patients, but few studies have evaluated the role of anxiety or the role of the co-occurrence
of depression and anxiety. We examined whether ...
Impact of gene variants on sex-specific regulation of human Scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-BI) expression in liver and association with lipid levels in a population-based study.
(BMC Med Genet, 2010-01-19)
BACKGROUND: Several studies have noted that genetic variants of SCARB1, a lipoprotein
receptor involved in reverse cholesterol transport, are associated with serum lipid
levels in a sex-dependent fashion. However, the mechanism ...
Clinical and echocardiographic predictors of mortality in acute pulmonary embolism.
(Cardiovasc Ultrasound, 2016-10-28)
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of adding quantitative
assessments of cardiac function from echocardiography to clinical factors in predicting
the outcome of patients with acute pulmonary embolism ...
Potential Cost-effectiveness of Early Identification of Hospital-acquired Infection in Critically Ill Patients.
(Ann Am Thorac Soc, 2016-03)
RATIONALE: Limitations in methods for the rapid diagnosis of hospital-acquired infections
often delay initiation of effective antimicrobial therapy. New diagnostic approaches
offer potential clinical and cost-related improvements ...
Effect of genetic testing for risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus on health behaviors and outcomes: study rationale, development and design.
(BMC Health Serv Res, 2012-01-18)
BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes is a prevalent chronic condition globally that results
in extensive morbidity, decreased quality of life, and increased health services utilization.
Lifestyle changes can prevent the development ...
