Cytokine profiles in acute liver injury-Results from the US Drug-Induced Liver Injury Network (DILIN) and the Acute Liver Failure Study Group.
(PloS one, 2018-01)
Changes in levels of cytokines and chemokines have been proposed as possible biomarkers
of tissue injury, including liver injury due to drugs. Recently, in acute drug-induced
liver injury (DILI), we showed that 19 of 27 ...
Hepatic histological findings in suspected drug-induced liver injury: systematic evaluation and clinical associations.
(Hepatology (Baltimore, Md.), 2014-02)
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is considered to be a diagnosis of exclusion. Liver
biopsy may contribute to diagnostic accuracy, but the histological features of DILI
and their relationship to biochemical parameters and ...

transplantation. As a result, many transplant centers ...
Continuous intravenous cimetidine decreases stress-related upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage without promoting pneumonia.
(Crit Care Med, 1993-01)
OBJECTIVES: To determine whether a continuous i.v. infusion of cimetidine, a histamine-2
(H2) receptor antagonist, is needed to prevent upper gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage
when compared with placebo and if that usage ...
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 ...
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 ...

(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 ...
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 ...
