Objectives Coagulation mechanisms and fibrinolytic assembly are important components role players of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) progression. Our study objective was to see the serial variations in the levels of Von Willebrand factor (VWF) and A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease with ThromboSpondin motif (ADAMTS13) over the course of AMI and…Read more

BACKGROUND Small sample size and a lack of standardized reporting for patients requiring reconstruction for laparoscopic cholecystectomy bile duct injuries (LC-BDI) have limited investigation of factors contributing to loss of patency. METHODS Using a prospective database, patient characteristics, pre-repair investigations, Strasberg-Bismuth level…Read more

Early detection of Aspergillus infection has the potential to facilitate a more effective management of invasive disease. Data from probable/proven cases of invasive aspergillosis (IA) with a positive galactomannan enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (GM) bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was analyzed in respect to serum GM and/or polymerase chain…Read more

INTRODUCTION Implant-based or expander-supported breast reconstruction is an established surgical method after mastectomies due to cancer or to prophylactic reasons. Patient reported outcome (PRO) and cosmetic outcome after breast reconstruction with a synthetic surgical mesh was investigated in a prospective, single-arm, multi-center study.…Read more

These genes are involved in several mechanisms affecting pigmentation. Significant associations for the eye depigmented patterns were also identified for SNPs on two SSC4 regions (including two candidate genes NOTCH2 and PREX2) and on SSC6, SSC8 and SSC14 (including COL17A1 as candidate gene). This study provided useful information to understand…Read more

Electroplating wastewater produced by this company contains Nickel and COD above the quality standards set by the…Read more

55 ± 2.49 mm (P = 0.002) longer in fractured side than the ones in healthy side after closed treatment. The pogonion deviated 0.48 ± 1.7 mm to the fractured side, but no statistical significance was found (P = 0.129). CONCLUSIONS Children had great growth potential to compensate the shortening of condylar process after intracapsular condylar f…Read more

n of recent-onset atrial flutter. Further high-quality study is necessary. STUDY OBJECTIVE Common outcomes of care valued by emergency department (ED) patients who are not hospitalized have been characterized, but no measurement instrument has been developed to date. We developed and validated a patient-reported outcome measure for use with adult…Read more

1% (95%CI5.3-18.9). The prevalence of MS was higher in women than in men, and higher in (semi-)urban than in rural participants. The MS prevalence was highest in Southern Africa, followed by Eastern, Western and Central Africa. Substantial heterogeneity in the prevalence estimates across studies were not explained by major study-level…Read more
