Objective To examine the effect of the “four-steps” treatment on infectious pancreatic necrosis(IPN). Methods The data of 207 patients who were diagnosed with IPN from January 2013 to December 2017 at Department of Pancreaticobiliary Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University were analyzed retrospectively. Among 207…[Read more]

In cases of ureterovaginal fistula after cesarean section, ultrasonography and IVP with lateral view x-ray films may confirm the diagnosis. The traditional treatment for ureterovaginal fistula is ureteral reimplantation, but endoscopic management may be a viable technique with less invasiveness and faster results and recovery. Thus, retrograde…[Read more]

ween ED CFS and inpatient CFS was found to be weak. In addition the ability of ED CFS to predict clinically important outcomes was limited. NPV and PPV for ED CFS cut-off value of ≥5 were found to be low. Further work is required on the feasibility, clinical impact and appropriate tools for screening of frailty in EDs.

First-pass success (…[Read more]

A 36-year-old female presented with two episodes of hemoptysis induced by exertion and acute dyspnea. She was diagnosed as a case of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) with systolic anterior motion (SAM)-induced severe mitral regurgitation (MR). She underwent extended septal myectomy with mitral valve replacement under cardiopulmonary…[Read more]

Empirical time trends in HIV prevalence in female sex workers (FSWs) are helpful to understand the evolving HIV epidemic, and to monitor the scale-up, coverage, and impact of ongoing HIV prevention and treatment programmes.

Serial HIV prevalence study.

We analyzed time trends in HIV prevalence in FSWs accessing services at seven…[Read more]

Umbrella sampling simulations of removing cholesterol from tertiary membranes find no significant difference with or without n-alcohols at various concentrations. GDC-0077 Simulations of a phase-separated bilayer show that octanol preferentially partitions into the liquid-disordered phase in a ratio of approximately 31 over the liquid-ordered…[Read more]

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignancy found at high frequency around the world. Unfortunately, the scarcity of effective early diagnostic methods invariably results in poor outcomes. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are known to regulate the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A novel lncRNA RP11-286H15.1(OTTHUMG00000186042) has…[Read more]
