Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate if emergency medicine trainees with a short duration training in echocardiography could perform and interpret bedside-focused reliably on department patients. Methods Following web-based learning module 3 h proctored practical training, were evaluated technical interpretative skills estimating left ventricular function, detection pericardial effusion inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter measurements using An inter-rater agreement analysis...
Currently, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are considered as the most eligible for skeletal tissue engineering. However, factors such difficult stimulation and control of differentiation in vivo hamper their clinical use. In contrast, periosteum or periosteum-derived (PCs) routinely clinically applied bone cartilage repair. PCs have often been named MSCs but, although osteochondrogenic lineages arise from MSCs, it is unclear whether really contains MSCs. Our aim was to investigate MSC-like...
Although changes of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in and around traumatic contusions are well documented, the role CBF for delayed death neuronal cells penumbra ultimately resulting secondary contusion expansion remains unclear. The aim current study was therefore to investigate relationship between progressive peri-contusional cell following brain injury (TBI). size were measured C57Bl6 mice under continuous on-line monitoring ETpCO2 before, at 15 min 24 h controlled cortical impact by...
Abstract Aims Heart failure (HF) is a growing health problem, yet there are limited data on patients with HF in Malaysia. The Malaysian Failure (MY‐HF) Registry aims to gain insights into the epidemiology, aetiology, management, and outcome of identify areas for improvement within national services. Methods results MY‐HF 3‐year prospective, observational study comprising 2717 admitted acute HF. We report description baseline at admission outcomes index hospitalization these patients. mean...
Background Willingness to donate organs is affected by socio‐cultural and religious values. The Malaysian society made up of three ethnic groups: Malay, Chinese, Indian, with Islam, Buddhism Hinduism as their religions respectively. This study examined the knowledge perception towards organ donation for each group. Methods was conducted at University Malaya Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Relatives patients awaiting treatment emergency department answered a questionnaire on attitude...
The aim of the study was to identify covariates associated with 28-day mortality in septic patients admitted emergency department and derive validate a score that stratifies risk utilizing parameters are readily available.Patients an admission diagnosis suspected or confirmed infection fulfilling at least two criteria for severe inflammatory response syndrome were included this study. Patients' characteristics, vital signs, laboratory values used prognostic factors mortality. A scoring...
Staphylococcus has replaced streptococcus as the most common cause of infective endocarditis (IE) in developed health care systems. The trend developing countries is less clear.To examine epidemiological trends a nation.Single-centre, retrospective study patients admitted with IE to tertiary hospital Malaysia over 12-year period.The analysis included 182 (n = 153 Duke's definite IE, n 29 possible IE). mean age was 51 years. Rheumatic heart disease present 42%, while 7.6% were...
For clinical applications of cells and tissue engineering products it is importance to characterize the quality used in detail. Progenitor from periosteum are already routinely applied clinics for regeneration maxillary bone. Periosteal have, addition their potential differentiate into bone, ability develop cartilage fat. However, question arises whether all isolated periosteal biopsies able three types, or there subpopulations. an efficient approved application bone clarification this...
In a world of ever increasing health care costs, generic drugs represent major opportunity to ensure access essential medicines for people who otherwise would be unable afford them. However, some clinicians and patients are still questioning the safety effectiveness formulations compared proprietary necessitating further systematic research analyzing drugs' efficacy. Our objective was compare lipid lowering effects branded atorvastatin. This cross-sectional, retrospective cohort study...
Abstract The East Timor conflict appeared to be resolved in 1999 by a referendum; however, the fragile state has experienced various new conflicts over last years. indigenous perspective on postconflict dynamics considers as caused disharmony between world of living and dead. Numerous international actors have fundamentally different understanding try resolve tensions country through measures such trauma workshops or poverty reduction programs. conceptual challenge is an integration modern...
A 76-year-old female patient presented complaining of chronic cough and dyspnoea. She underwent mitral valve replacement tricuspid annuloplasty for rheumatic mixed disease with severe regurgitation 13 years ago. Clinically, the had features congestive cardiac failure. Chest X-ray revealed asymmetrical cardiomegaly right heart border extending to lateral chest wall. Echocardiography demonstrated …
Abstract Introduction Achieving target door–needle times for ST elevation myocardial infarction remains challenging. Data on emergency department (ED) doctor-led thrombolysis in developing countries and factors causing delay are limited. Objectives To assess the effect by transferring responsibility to ED doctors identify predictors of prolonged times. Methodology medical on-call team-led at a tertiary Asian hospital were prospectively collected from May 2007 Aug 2008 (1st study period). In...
Einleitung: Über die operativen Therapie des Lagophthalmus mit starren Goldimplantaten existieren zahlreiche Studien, meist sehr geringer Probandenzahl. Seit 1999 stehen flexible Platinketten als Implantatalternative zur Verfügung, den anatomischen Gegebenheiten im Bereich Oberlids viel besser gerecht werden. Berichte über postoperative Ergebnisse und Komplikationen in der Literatur sind selten. Das Ziel unserer Untersuchung war, mittels einer Umfrage bei Anwendern Platinkette, Angaben zu...
