ACE-inhibition increases podocyte number in experimental glomerular disease independent of proliferation.
(Journal of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system : JRAAS, 2015-06)<h4>Objective</h4>The objective of this article is to test the effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibition on glomerular epithelial cell number in an inducible experimental model of focal segmental ... -
Carotid intima-media thickness progression and risk of vascular events in people with diabetes: results from the PROG-IMT collaboration.
(Diabetes care, 2015-10)<h4>Objective</h4>Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a marker of subclinical organ damage and predicts cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in the general population. It has also been associated with vascular risk in ... -
Predictive value for cardiovascular events of common carotid intima media thickness and its rate of change in individuals at high cardiovascular risk - Results from the PROG-IMT collaboration.
(PloS one, 2018-01)<h4>Aims</h4>Carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) predicts cardiovascular (CVD) events, but the predictive value of CIMT change is debated. We assessed the relation between CIMT change and events in individuals at high ... -
Correction: Predictive value for cardiovascular events of common carotid intima media thickness and its rate of change in individuals at high cardiovascular risk - Results from the PROG-IMT collaboration.

Genetic and pharmacological relationship between P-glycoprotein and increased cardiovascular risk associated with clarithromycin prescription: An epidemiological and genomic population-based cohort study in Scotland, UK.
(PLoS medicine, 2020-11)<h4>Background</h4>There are conflicting reports regarding the association of the macrolide antibiotic clarithromycin with cardiovascular (CV) events. A possible explanation may be that this risk is partly mediated through ... -
Implementation of the TaperGuard™ endotracheal tube in an unselected surgical population to reduce postoperative pneumonia.
(BMC anesthesiology, 2020-08)<h4>Background</h4>Endotracheal tube (ETT) designs to decrease the risk of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) include supraglottic suctioning, and/or modifications of the cuff shape. The TaperGuard™ ETT has a tapered, ... -
COVID-19 mortality risk for older men and women.
(BMC public health, 2020-11)<h4>Background</h4>Case-fatality from COVID-19 has been reported to be relatively high in patients age 65 years or older. We sought to determine the age-specific rates of COVID-19 mortality at the population level.<h4>Me... -
Retrospective chart review and survey to identify adverse safety events in the emergency medical services care of children with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the USA: a study protocol.
(BMJ open, 2020-10)<h4>Introduction</h4>Efforts to improve the quality of emergency medical services (EMS) care for adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) have led to improved survival over time. Similar improvements have not been ... -
Evaluation of individual and ensemble probabilistic forecasts of COVID-19 mortality in the United States.
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022-04)Short-term probabilistic forecasts of the trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States have served as a visible and important communication channel between the scientific modeling community and both the general ... -
Patient Safety Incidents Caused by Poor Quality Surgical Instruments.
(Cureus, 2019-06)<h4>Objectives</h4>Surgeons require high-quality surgical instruments to carry out successful procedures. Poor quality instruments may break intraoperatively leading to a failed procedure or causing harm to the patient. ... -
