•To compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-targeted biopsies with extended systematic for the detection of significant prostate cancer.•In all, 555 consecutive patients suspicion cancer had pre-biopsy dynamic contrast-enhanced 1.5-tesla (T) MRI pelvic coil, 10-12 transrectal ultrasound-guided plus two targeted at any area suspicious malignancy. •Significant was defined as >5 mm total length and/or Gleason pattern >3. •Cancer and grade biopsy were reported located on a 24-sector map.•Median...
Topological phases of matter can enable highly stable qubits with small footprints, fast gate times, and digital control. These hardware-protected must be fabricated a material combination in which topological phase reliably induced. The challenge: disorder destroy the obscure its detection. This paper reports on devices low enough to pass gap protocol, thereby demonstrating gapped superconductivity paving way for new qubit.
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the effect of cartoon illustrations on patient comprehension and compliance with ED release instructions. Methods: A prospective, randomized, controlled study consecutive patients who presented to a community teaching hospital lacerations necessitating wound repair during three‐month period. At release, were randomly assigned receive care instructions or without illustrations. Three days later, followed up by telephone. blinded investigator asked series...
In a prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trial, intravenous prochlorperazine edisylate (Compazine Edisylate) was compared with placebo in the treatment of severe headaches. Eighty-two adult patients vascular or tension-type headaches were identified at time presentation to one three participating emergency departments. After patient gave informed consent, 2-mL injection sterile saline solution (10 mg) given each randomization. The groups similar regard age, sex, and type duration...
Debate continues regarding the influence of litigation on pain outcomes after motor vehicle collision (MVC). In this study we enrolled European Americans presenting to emergency department (ED) in hours MVC (n=948). Six weeks later, participants were interviewed symptoms and asked about their participation MVC-related litigation. The incidence predictors neck widespread 6weeks compared among those engaged (litigants) not (nonlitigants). Among 859 948 (91%) completing 6-week follow-up, 711...
ABSTRACT Objective : To describe the process and outcomes of nursing home (NH) residents transferred to hospital EDs. Methods This was a prospective, observational study conducted at 2 Midwestern community teaching hospitals during 12‐month period. All elder patients (>64 years age) EDs from regional NHs were eligible for study. Hospital records used abstract relevant descriptive clinical data. Need ambulance use graded prospectively using 3 categories urgency developed in other studies....
Expenditures related to the use of medical androgen deprivation led in part Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) 2003. This mandated a decline reimbursement 80% 85% average wholesale price starting 2004 followed by more significant reduction 2005 106% sales price, which effectively reduced approximately 50% 2003 values. The authors hypothesized that these changes may affect way practitioners administer treatments.The publicly available dataset Part B Extract Summary System was examined from 2001...
Individual vulnerability factors influencing the function of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis may contribute to risk development persistent musculoskeletal pain after traumatic stress exposure. The objective study was evaluate association between polymorphisms in gene encoding FK506 binding protein 51, FKBP5, a glucocorticoid receptor co-chaperone, and severity 6 weeks 2 common trauma exposures. included data from prospective emergency department-based cohorts: discovery cohort (n=949)...
Living in a lower socioeconomic status neighborhood has been shown to alter stress system function and is associated with number of adverse health outcomes, but its influence on musculoskeletal pain (MSP) outcomes after traumatic exposures such as motor vehicle collision (MVC) not assessed. We performed multicenter, prospective study that enrolled 948 European-American individuals within 24 hours MVC who were discharged home emergency department evaluation. Follow-up evaluations completed...
Abstract Objectives: To compare the characteristics of sexual assault in pubertal girls (<18 years old) and adults a community‐based population women presenting to an urban clinic. Methods: This case‐series analysis evaluated consecutive female patients clinic during three‐year study period. The is associated with university‐affiliated emergency medicine residency program staffed by forensic nurses trained perform medicolegal examinations using colposcopy nuclear staining. Patient...
