Statistical analysis used propensity score adjusted log-binomial regression models. A sensitivity analysis excluded patients with a history of cardiovascular disease. Results 116,442 participants were included. Compared to NRT, varenicline was associated with a 10% one-year relative risk decrease of cardiovascular hospitalization [Adjusted Risk…Read more

Along with increasing amounts of big data sources and increasing computer performance, real-world evidence from such sources likewise gains in importance. While this mostly applies to population averaged results from analyses based on the all available data, it is also possible to conduct so-called personalized analyses based on a data subset…Read more

The aim of this preplanned secondary analysis of a 12-month randomised controlled trial was to investigate the effects of a multicomponent exercise programme combined with daily whey protein, calcium and vitamin D supplementation on cognition in men with prostate cancer treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).

12-month, two-arm,…Read more

Left subclavian artery (LSA) bypass surgery is mainly carried out for patients with severe left subclavian occlusion. This article aimed to evaluate the hemodynamic effects of different surgical bypass modes on LSA revascularization.

Three-dimensional models of the aorta were reconstructed from CTA images of a patient with LSA occlusion, a…Read more

These patients should be referred to comprehensive centers that offer complete multidisciplinary screening evaluation to ensure appropriate patient selection and intervention selection. With the appropriate surgical intervention and continued management from their care team, patients with PD can maximize their quality of life.

Finally, a real-world dataset of a wind farm as well as an open source dataset are used to verify the performance of the proposed forecasting method. Results of the ablation analyses and comparative experiments demonstrate that the introduction of domain knowledge improves the forecasting performance.In a recent study, Belin et al. demonstrated…Read more

These results present a scalable approach to facilitate imaging-based pooled CRISPR screens.In April and November of 2018, multiple commercial laying hen flocks within the same company presented with a sharp increase in mortality and drop in egg production that persisted for several days. These flocks showed striking necropsy lesions consistent…Read more

We here provide another piece of evidence for the active interplay between Sgg and cancer preventive components. These data will help to move forward in designing concepts for therapeutic and eventually also prophylactic approaches to combat gastrointestinal malignancies.Age-related physical changes, such as low-grade inflammation and increased…Read more

The nursing role significantly changed following reforms in the nurse training process. Nowadays, nurses are increasingly trained to promote and improve the quality of clinical practice and to provide support in the assistance of patients and communities. Opportunities and threats are emerging as a consequence of the introduction of new disruptive…Read more

Green alga U. lactuca stood out as the only capable of efficiently removing at least 60% of all elements, reaching removals up to 90% in some cases. The high bioconcentration factors, derived from mass balance analysis (c.a. 2500) support that the REEs enriched algal biomass (up to 1295 μg g-1) may constitute an effective and environmentally…Read more

Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a common spinal disorder that causes patients to assume a forward-trunk posture. Spinal alignment affects swing limb angles and stance limb muscle activities. Therefore, we investigated the effects of differences in step up (SU) and step down (SD) tasks on the kinematics of the trunk and swing limb as well as stance…Read more
