Incremenal Value of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance for Assessing Pulmonic Valve Regurgitation.
(The Journal of heart valve disease, 2015-07)
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the 'gold standard' for quantifying pulmonic regurgitation
(PR) in adults with congenital heart disease, but remains costly and is less readily
available than echocardiography. Qualitative ...
Cognitive Function: Is There More to Anticoagulation in Atrial Fibrillation Than Stroke?
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2015-08-03)
Genome-wide association study of acute kidney injury after coronary bypass graft surgery identifies susceptibility loci.
(Kidney Int, 2015-10)
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common, serious complication of cardiac surgery. Since
prior studies have supported a genetic basis for postoperative AKI, we conducted a
genome-wide association study (GWAS) for AKI following ...
Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in U.S. Community Practice--Results From Outcomes Registry for Better Informed Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation (ORBIT-AF).
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2015-05-21)
BACKGROUND: The characteristics of patients undergoing atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation
and subsequent outcomes in community practice are not well described. METHODS AND
RESULTS: Using the Outcomes Registry for Better Informed ...
Simplified Predictive Instrument to Rule Out Acute Coronary Syndromes in a High-Risk Population.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2015-12-14)
BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether diagnostic protocols based on cardiac markers to
identify low-risk chest pain patients suitable for early release from the emergency
department can be applied to patients older than 65 years ...
Contemporary trends and predictors of postacute service use and routine discharge home after stroke.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2015-02-23)
BACKGROUND: Returning home after the hospital is a primary aim for healthcare; however,
additional postacute care (PAC) services are sometimes necessary for returning stroke
patients to their pre-event status. Recent trends ...
Traditional medicine practices among community members with chronic kidney disease in northern Tanzania: an ethnomedical survey.
(BMC Nephrol, 2015-10-23)
BACKGROUND: In sub-Saharan Africa, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is being recognized
as a non-communicable disease (NCD) with high morbidity and mortality. In countries
like Tanzania, people access many sources, including ...
HPV16 antibodies as risk factors for oropharyngeal cancer and their association with tumor HPV and smoking status.
(Oral Oncol, 2015-07)
BACKGROUND: Antibodies (Abs) to the HPV16 proteome increase risk for HPV-associated
OPC (HPVOPC). The goal of this study was to investigate the association of a panel
of HPV16 Abs with risk for OPC as well as the association ...
Polymorphisms at the microRNA binding-site of the stem cell marker gene CD133 modify susceptibility to and survival of gastric cancer.
(Mol Carcinog, 2015-06)
CD133 is one of the most common stem cell markers, and functional single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) of CD133 may modulate its gene functions and thus cancer risk
and patient survival. We hypothesized that potentially ...
Polymorphisms in the kinesin-like factor 1 B gene and risk of epithelial ovarian cancer in Eastern Chinese women.
(Tumour Biol, 2015-09)
The kinesin-like factor 1 B (KIF1B) gene plays an important role in the process of
apoptosis and the transformation and progression of malignant cells. Genetic variations
in KIF1B may contribute to risk of epithelial ovarian ...
