Preoperative predictors of extended hospital length of stay following total knee arthroplasty.
(J Arthroplasty, 2015-03)
The purpose of this study was to identify the preoperative predictors of hospital
length of stay after primary total knee arthroplasty in a patient population reflecting
current trends toward shorter hospitalization and ...
Plerixafor (a CXCR4 antagonist) following myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation enhances hematopoietic recovery.
(J Hematol Oncol, 2018-03-04)
BACKGROUND: The binding of CXCR4 with its ligand (stromal-derived factor-1) maintains
hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) in a quiescent state. We hypothesized
that blocking CXCR4/SDF-1 interaction after hematopoietic ...
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 ...
Bacteremic disseminated tuberculosis in sub-saharan Africa: a prospective cohort study.
(Clin Infect Dis, 2012-07)
BACKGROUND: Disseminated tuberculosis is a major health problem in countries where
generalized human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection epidemics coincide with high
tuberculosis incidence rates; data are limited on patient ...
Polymorphisms in Fibronectin Binding Proteins A and B among Staphylococcus aureus Bloodstream Isolates Are Not Associated with Arthroplasty Infection.
(PLoS One, 2015)
BACKGROUND: Nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in fibronectin binding
protein A (fnbA) of Staphylococcus aureus are associated with cardiac device infections.
However, the role of fnbA SNPs in S. aureus ...
Outcomes and costs of autologous stem cell mobilization with chemotherapy plus G-CSF vs G-CSF alone.
(Bone Marrow Transplant, 2013-11)
Chemotherapy plus G-CSF (C+G) and G-CSF alone are two of the most common methods used
to mobilize CD34(+) cells for autologous hematopoietic SCT (AHSCT). In order to compare
and determine the real-world outcomes and costs ...
Subjective experience of sensation in anorexia nervosa.
(Behaviour research and therapy, 2013-06)
The nature of disturbance in body experience in anorexia nervosa (AN) remains poorly
operationalized despite its prognostic significance. We examined the relationship
of subjective reports of sensitivity to and behavioral ...
Association between increased magnetic susceptibility of deep gray matter nuclei and decreased motor function in healthy adults.
(Neuroimage, 2015-01-15)
In the human brain, iron is more prevalent in gray matter than in white matter, and
deep gray matter structures, particularly the globus pallidus, putamen, caudate nucleus,
substantia nigra, red nucleus, and dentate nucleus, ...
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 ...
Evaluating the number of stages in development of squamous cell and adenocarcinomas across cancer sites using human population-based cancer modeling.
(PLoS One, 2012)
BACKGROUND: Adenocarcinomas (ACs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) differ by clinical
and molecular characteristics. We evaluated the characteristics of carcinogenesis
by modeling the age patterns of incidence rates of ...
