He was discharged home directly from the hospital, with one-month cerebral performance category (CPC) score of one. He was back to work three months post-arrest. Emergency physicians (EP) should be aware of this topic since we are front-line health care professionals for OHCA. Thrombolytics have the advantage of being widely available in ED and…[Read more]

With the new device protocol, the number of infected secretion interactions by a nurse was 50% lower, and nursing time spent on oral hygiene and secretion management 70% less than seen with the current standard of care. The number of disposable gloves used with VAPCare and Lumen was reduced by over 50%. All 10 nurses and six doctors gave positive…[Read more]

The previous I-NSIP group tended to show broader airspace consolidation than the current I-NSIP group (p = 0.068). The previous CTD-NSIP group showed significantly broader airspace consolidation than the current I-NSIP group (p = 0.035).

Broad airspace consolidation is a characteristic of previously diagnosed CTD-NSIP excluded from the…[Read more]

It is an important input to the DNA barcode library of Indonesian marine fishes and to the global DNA barcode entries in general.

Although structural correlation network (SCN) analysis is an approach to evaluate brain networks, the neurobiological interpretation of SCNs is still problematic. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is…[Read more]

Genetic algorithms (GAs) have been widely applied in Steiner tree optimization problems. However, as the core operation, existing crossover operators for tree-based GAs suffer from producing illegal offspring trees. Therefore, some global link information must be adopted to ensure the connectivity of the offspring, which incurs heavy computation.…[Read more]

83. For both measures of viral load suppression, the relationship with the adherence score was generally linear; there was no ‘cutoff’ point indicating good vs. poor adherence. In the multivariable model, younger age, nonwhite race, poverty, homelessness, depression, binge-drinking, and both non-IDU and IDU were independently associated with lower…[Read more]

Survival of patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) is improved when neoadjuvant chemoradiation enables subsequent surgical resection. Here, the authors assess changes in vessel involvement as a possible indicator of resectability.

Pancreatic gross tumor and all major abdominal vessels were contoured for 49 patients with…[Read more]

Ischemia is insufficient blood flow to provide adequate oxygenation. In the present study, we aimed to show whether acute hypoxia has a critical oxygen value that may lead to the deterioration of cochlear function.

Under general anesthesia, prehypoxic signal-to-noise ratios were determined by distortion product otoacoustic…[Read more]

Leucine-resveratrol reduced insulin resistance (homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance) 33% with corresponding reductions in glucose and insulin area under the curve in oral glucose tolerance tests. We extended these concepts in preclinical studies using both direct Sirt1 activators and Sirt1 pathway activators. Low-dose (10 nM) N…[Read more]

Delayed health-seeking continues to contribute to preventable maternal and neonatal deaths in low resource countries. Some of the strategies to avoid the delay include early preparation for the birth and detection of danger signs. We aimed to assess the level of practice and factors associated with birth preparedness and complication readiness…[Read more]
