OBJECTIVES To assess the potential impact of using screening recommendations for bleeding disorders in patients with Noonan syndrome on perioperative bleeding complications. STUDY DESIGN We performed a retrospective, single-site cohort study; patients were identified by query of the electronic medical record. All patients with a clinical diagnosis…[Read more]

We found that survival outcomes did not change following the implementation of a “restrictive” transfusion policy. There was also a decrease in the extracorporeal blood flow rates with restrictive transfusion of 0.5 L/min. Nonsurvivors of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation had higher usage of RBC units following a change in t…[Read more]

In response to the 2014-2016 West Africa Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak, a US congressional appropriation provided funds to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to support global health security capacity building in 17 partner countries, including Guinea. The 2014 funding enabled CDC to provide more than 300 deployments of…[Read more]

DSBs proximal to telomeres rarely form COs, likely because of formation of unstable recombination intermediates that cannot be sustained as chiasmata until late prophase. Our work supports a model in which regulation of CO position early in meiotic prophase is required for proper designation of chromosome subdomains and normal chromosome…[Read more]

42), hippocampal ablation (P= 0.67), or amygdala ablation (P= 0.33). Seizure freedom rate for patients with MTS was 66% (95% CI, 58%-74%) and was also not found to be significantly associated with total ablation volume (P= 0.15), hippocampal ablation (P= 0.73), or amygdala ablation (P= 0.43). Overall complication rate was 17% (95% CI,…[Read more]

Erbium Yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser (Er YAG) treatment has been used in resurfacing the acne scars for a long time; however, we could not find any study reporting the recovery rates after each session of the treatment. In this study, we aimed to report the improvement rates after each session. We retrospectively analyzed the data of 35 patients…[Read more]

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) of about 22 nucleotides in size, play important roles in gene regulation, and their dysregulation is implicated in human diseases including cancer. A variety of miRNAs could take roles in the cancer progression, participate in the process of tumor immune, and function with miRNA sponges. During…[Read more]

tional drug therapy and the use of ineffective antimicrobial therapy. Tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, and penicillins were the main classes of antimicrobials involved in the drug therapy problem.

In chronic hepatitis B virus (CHB) patients, both dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells are functionally impaired and consequently the HBV-specific…[Read more]
