Emergency department point-of-care ultrasound in out-of-hospital and in-ED cardiac arrest.
(Resuscitation, 2016-12)
Point-of-care ultrasound has been suggested to improve outcomes from advanced cardiac
life support (ACLS), but no large studies have explored how it should be incorporated
into ACLS. Our aim was to determine whether cardiac ...
Validation of the modified Sgarbossa criteria for acute coronary occlusion in the setting of left bundle branch block: A retrospective case-control study.
(American heart journal, 2015-12)
The modified Sgarbossa criteria were proposed in a derivation study to be superior
to the original criteria for diagnosing acute coronary occlusion (ACO) in left bundle
branch block (LBBB). The new rule replaces the third ...
Evaluation of T-Wave Morphology in Patients With Left Bundle Branch Block and Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome.
(The Journal of emergency medicine, 2016-09)
T-wave morphology in the setting of left bundle branch block (LBBB) has been proposed
as an indicator of myocardial ischemia.We sought to identify T-wave morphology findings
in patients with LBBB that predict non-ST-segment ...
Complement-Mediated Regulation of Apolipoprotein E in Cultured Human RPE Cells.
(Investigative ophthalmology & visual science, 2017-06)
Complement activation is implicated in the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration
(AMD). Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) and complement activation products such as membrane
attack complex (MAC) are present in ...
Interactions between life stress factors and carrying the APOE4 allele adversely impact self-reported health in old adults.
(The Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences, 2011-10)
Based on the multiple logistic regression analysis of data from a random sample of
1,023 old adults collected in Taiwan in 2000, we found that interactions between carrying
the APOE4 allele and one of four life stress factors ...
Awareness of Cervical Cancer Causes and Predeterminants of Likelihood to Screen Among Women in Haiti.
(Journal of lower genital tract disease, 2017-01)
Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women in Haiti. Given
this high disease burden, we sought to better understand women's knowledge of its
causes and the sociodemographic and health correlates of ...
Emergency physician high pretest probability for acute coronary syndrome correlates with adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
(Academic emergency medicine : official journal of the Society for Academic Emergency
Medicine, 2009-08)
OBJECTIVES: The value of unstructured physician estimate of risk for disease processes,
other than acute coronary syndrome (ACS), has been demonstrated. The authors sought
to evaluate the predictive value of unstructured ...
Changing cancer survival in China during 2003-15: a pooled analysis of 17 population-based cancer registries.
(The Lancet. Global health, 2018-05)
From 2003 to 2005, standardised 5-year cancer survival in China was much lower than
in developed countries and varied substantially by geographical area. Monitoring population-level
cancer survival is crucial to the understanding ...
Predictive Modeling of Length of Hospital Stay Following Adult Spinal Deformity Correction: Analysis of 653 Patients with an Accuracy of 75% within 2 Days.
(World neurosurgery, 2018-07)
Length of stay (LOS) after surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD) is a critical
period that allows for optimal recovery. Predictive models that estimate LOS allow
for stratification of high-risk patients.A prospectively ...
Peak Timing for Complications After Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery.
(World neurosurgery, 2018-07)
Overall complication rates for adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery have been reported;
however, little data exist on the peak timing associated with specific complications.
This study quantifies the peak timing for multiple ...
