Public health measures to control the COVID-19 pandemic have led feelings of loneliness among older adults, which, prior COVID, has been associated with subsequent morbidity and mortality. We sought identify differences in loneliness, sadness, social disconnection early across racial groups, possible mitigating factors.We performed a cross-sectional analysis using weighted nationally-representative Medicare Current Beneficiaries Survey supplement, collected summer 2020. included all...
Summary The material properties of a tendon affect its ability to store and return elastic energy, resist damage, provide mechanical feedback, amplify or attenuate muscle power. While the structural are known respond variety stimuli, extent which vary among individual muscles remains unclear. We studied tendons six different in hindlimb Eastern wild turkeys determine if there was variation modulus, ultimate tensile strength, resilience. A hydraulic testing machine used measure force during...
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) is an exceedingly rare condition with incidence of one case per million people worldwide. It diagnosed symptoms rapid neurological decline, positive CSF biomarkers, and diagnostic findings on MRI EEG. There no known effective therapy for CJD prompt diagnosis required to prepare the expected disease prognosis goals care discussions.
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Despite the high incidence of blunt trauma in older adults, there is a lack evidence-based guidance for computed tomography (CT) imaging this population. We aimed to identify an algorithm guide use Pan-Scan (Head/C-spine/Torso) or Selective Scan (Head/C-spine ± Torso). hypothesized that patient’s initial history and exam could be used imaging. METHODS prospectively studied patients aged 65+ at 18 Level I/II centers. Patients presenting >24 h after injury who died upon...
Personal digital assistants (PDAs; also known as “handheld computers,” “pocket personal and Palm Pilots) provide immediate access to vital clinically relevant infectious diseases information at the point of care. Several applications are available that on pathogens, diagnosis, medication, treatment.

This study aims to quantitatively assess use of the NSQIP surgical risk calculator (NSRC) in contemporary practice and identify barriers potential interventions that might increase use. We performed a cross-sectional surgeons at seven institutions. The primary outcomes were self-reported application general clinical specific scenarios as well reported In our sample 99 (49.7% response rate), 73.7% NSRC past month. Approximately half (51.9%) respondents infrequent (<20% preoperative...
Transcranial motor-evoked potentials (TcMEPs) are used to monitor the descending motor pathway during scoliosis surgery. By comparing before and after correction, surgeons may prevent postoperative functional loss in distal muscles. There is currently no consensus as which muscles should be monitored. The purpose of this study determine least invasive monitoring protocol with best localization potential neurologic deficit. A retrospective review 125 patients TcMEP surgery for thoracolumbar...
Abstract Objective Treatment for lifestyle limiting claudication (LLC) that is due to infra‐inguinal peripheral artery disease relies on either bypass, angioplasty, and/or stenting. Given the enthusiasm and shift toward more endovascular therapy treatment of LLC, we sought analyze whether octogenarians benefit from interventions in same manner as their younger counterparts. Methods We identified all patients admitted elective LLC Nationwide Inpatient Sample 2003 2012, who received open...
This study sought to examine primary care physician opinions regarding referral practices for patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and determine if curve severity at the time of is correlated insurance status. A survey was distributed pediatric providers practices. chart review referred a spine specialist AIS performed. total 59.3% respondents stated their threshold <20°. The mean size in privately insured 27° (range 6°-68°), whereas publicly group 27.6° = 6°-58°; P .9). Large...
Background and objective High-dose intravenous pulsed glucocorticosteroids (GCS) are not part of the standard treatment in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), evidence supporting their use is conflicting. In clinical practice, however, they used specialist settings when clinico-patho-radiological features suggest a potentially steroid-responsive pattern, or as last resort cases where patients unable to be weaned off mechanical ventilation. This study aimed investigate if an early...
Trends in mortality, palliative care, and end-of-life care among critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remain underreported. We hypothesized that use of would increase over time, because improved understanding the course prognosis potentially lead to more frequent these services.
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> Respiratory failure after orthotopic liver transplantation is associated with increased mortality and prolonged hospitalization. <h3>METHODS:</h3> A retrospective analysis was conducted through the query of National In-patient Sample for subjects who underwent tracheostomy from 2000 to 2011. Tracheostomies by post-transplantation day 14 were considered “early,” whereas those “routine.” Cox proportional hazards model used evaluate impact early on post-tracheostomy length...
