Background: Long-term control or remission of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may be possible with very early treatment. However, no optimal first therapeutic strategy has been determined. Objective: To assess the potential cost-effectiveness major strategies for RA. Design: Decision analytic model probabilistic sensitivity analyses. Data Sources: Published data, National Bank Rheumatic Diseases, and actual 2007 hospital costs. Target Population: U.S. adults RA (symptom duration ≤3 months). Time...
To outline the knowledge gaps and research priorities identified by a broad base of stakeholders involved in planning participation an international conference agenda workshop on isocyanates human health held Potomac, Maryland, April 2013.A multimodal iterative approach was used for data collection including preconference surveys, review 2001 consensus isocyanates, oral poster presentations, focused break-out sessions, panel discussions, postconference workshop.Participants included...
Abstract The Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph (GHOST) is the newest high-resolution spectrograph to be developed for a large-aperture telescope, recently deployed and commissioned at Gemini-South telescope. In this paper, we present first science results from GHOST taking during its commissioning runs. We have observed bright metal-poor benchmark star HD 122563, along with two stars in ultrafaint dwarf galaxy Reticulum II (Ret ii ), one of which was previously identified as...
Ambulance personnel, including paramedics, emergency medical technicians, and others, are exposed to potentially distressing situations frequently as a function of their duties. The present systematic review evaluated the prevalence trauma-related mental disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety in ambulance personnel with best-evidence narrative synthesis across an international dataset 24 eligible studies determine whether is elevated this occupational group...
We conducted a systematic review of the empirical literature examining effectiveness psychological interventions for post-traumatic symptomatology in police, firefighters, and paramedic personnel. The process was guided by PRISMA statement (Moher et al. [2009]. Preferred reporting items reviews meta-analyses: statement. PLoS Medicine, 6(7), e1000097. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1000097) Institute Medicine's Standards Systematic Reviews (IOM [2011]. Finding what works health care:...
Abstract The Gemini South telescope is now equipped with a new high-resolution spectrograph called the High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph (GHOST). This instrument provides high-efficiency, spectra covering 347–1060 nm in single exposure of either one or two targets simultaneously, along precision radial velocity spectroscopy utilizing an internal calibration source. It can operate at spectral element resolving power 76,000 56,000, and reach signal-to-noise ratio ∼5 1 hr on V ∼ 20.8 mag...
Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study was to better understand the experiences people suffering from chronic pain in order plan client‐centred educational interventions. Methods People community with were invited via newspapers, newsletters and e‐mail discussion lists participate a needs assessment process attend an session at local college. Using nominal group technique, which is qualitative method data gathering, 53 participants reported their perceived challenges dealing pain....
Introduction: This randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigated the effectiveness of and satisfaction with small-group problem-based learning (PBL) versus a didactic lecture approach to guideline dissemination in asthma management controlling for confounders common comparative educational interventions. Methods: Sites were selected as either or PBL using simple randomization. All participants exposed similar resources ensure treatment equivalency. Instruments included standardized...
Due to high rates of potentially traumatic exposure (PTE) within the firefighting profession, a large body literature concerning firefighters’ mental health has developed over recent decades. However, given variable prevalence outcomes and largely descriptive nature most studies, it is unclear whether trauma-related disorders in firefighters elevated comparison with general population. The present systematic review examined on posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety exposed...
A new framework is needed for patients with chronic pain and their primary care physicians that acknowledges the individual's experiences provides evidence-informed education better linkages to community-based resources. This study describes experience of 19 chronic-pain sufferers who seek relief via health system. Their were recorded through in-depth semistructured interviews analyzed qualitative methods. The participants reported early optimism, then disillusionment, finally acceptance...
