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 ...
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 ...
Association between single nucleotide polymorphisms in ERCC4 and risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
Excision repair cross-complementation group 4 gene (ERCC4/XPF) plays an important
role in nucleotide excision repair and participates in removal of DNA interstrand
cross-links and DNA double-strand breaks. Single nucleotide ...
Genetic variants in fanconi anemia pathway genes BRCA2 and FANCA predict melanoma survival.
(The Journal of investigative dermatology, 2015-02)
Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is the most lethal skin cancer. The Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway
involved in DNA crosslink repair may affect CM susceptibility and prognosis. Using
data derived from published genome-wide association ...

(Mem Cognit, 2009-07)
In the present study, ratings of the memory of an important event from the previous
week on the frequency of voluntary and involuntary retrieval, belief in its accuracy,
visual imagery, auditory imagery, setting, emotional ...
Incidence, patient satisfaction, and perceptions of post-surgical pain: results from a US national survey.
(Curr Med Res Opin, 2014-01)
OBJECTIVE: During the past two decades, professional associations, accrediting bodies,
and payors have made post-surgical pain treatment a high priority. In light of the
disappointing findings in previous surveys, a survey ...
Baseline EEG pattern on continuous ICU EEG monitoring and incidence of seizures.
(J Clin Neurophysiol, 2015-04)
PURPOSE: To identify the probability of detecting nonconvulsive seizures based on
the initial pattern seen in the first 30 minutes of continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring.
METHODS: Continuous EEG monitoring reports from 243 ...
