In addition, BMI ≥40 kg/m2 served as an independent risk factor for acute renal failure, pulmonary embolism, ventilator use >48 hours, and readmission. The PPV for these clinically significant complications using BMI ≥40 kg/m2 as a cutoff was 4.9%. This translates into 20 patients being denied a complication-free procedure to avoid a single cli…[Read more]

Two blocks of inhibitory stimulation at the primary motor cortex using interval duration of 10 min or less produced a homeostatic response (increased MEP) between 0 and 30 min post-protocols, when compared with a single stimulation block. There were no differences in MEPs when compared with baseline MEPs. In conclusion, homeostatic plasticity i…[Read more]

Other complications included graft edema, SCH, graft retraction, granuloma, dellen and graft loss with only graft loss being statistically significant between 2 groups. Conclusion This study provides data that recurrence rates are not different among patients who undergo split conjunctival graft with and without limbal orientation. The strict…[Read more]

Colon cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, and chemotherapy is a widely used strategy in colon cancer clinical therapy. However, chemotherapy resistance is a major cause of disease recurrence and progression in colon cancer, and thus novel drugs for treatment are urgently needed. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), a component of the…[Read more]

Objective To evaluate clinical outcomes of telephone-based service for patients on warfarin. Methods Five bibliographic databases and gray literature were searched for articles that reported the effects of telephone interventions provided to patients using warfarin compared with those receiving usual clinic-based care. Mean difference (MD) and…[Read more]

CCL3, CCL5, IL-15 and IL-1Ra appears as root attributes to identify “A1” followed by VEGF as branch nodes to discriminate Wild Type YFV infection (“C(WT-YFV)”) from cases with other illnesses (“C*”). Together, these results demonstrated the applicability of serum biomarker measurements as putative parameters towards the establishment of accurate…[Read more]
