Background: The aim of this study is to compare demographic/disease characteristics users versus nonusers a do-it-yourself (DIY) mobile technology system for diabetes (Nightscout), describe its uses and personalization, evaluate associated changes in health behaviors outcomes. Methods: A cross-sectional, household-level online survey was used. Of 1268 household respondents who were members the CGM Cloud Facebook group, there 1157 individuals with provided information about Nightscout use....
Renal pelvic pressure may vary during percutaneous nephrolithotomy. We sought to determine the relationship of postoperative pain endoscope caliber, renal and hospital stay.We reviewed records 20 nephrolithotomies done under ureteroscopic guidance with monitoring. The ureteroscope working channel was connected a transducer used at baseline, when irrigating 26Fr rigid nephroscope 16Fr flexible nephroscope, suction. Patient demographics, operative characteristics, Likert scores length stay...
Frailty is associated with hospitalization and mortality among dialysis patients. To now, few studies have considered the degree of frailty as a predictor hospitalization.We evaluated whether severity was after initiation.Retrolective cohort study.Nova Scotia, Canada.Consecutive adult, chronic patients who initiated from January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2014, (last follow-up June, 2015).Frailty Severity, determined by 7-point Clinical Scale (CFS, ranging 1 = very fit 7 severely frail), measured...
The soundscape approach has been utilised in recent research for residential environments, but applications to indoor working environments remain limited. This study investigated the suitability of affective quality evaluations open-plan office acoustics. Perceptual assessments were completed by occupants eight floorplates, using dimensions outlined PD ISO/TS 12913-3:2019 and studies. Participant demographic, contextual, work-related quality, psychological well-being data collected....
Cryoablation of renal tumors adjacent to the ureter or pelvicalyceal system carries risks for thermal injury collecting system. Although cold antegrade perfusion has been described radiofrequency ablation, warm saline cryoablation not well-characterized. The purpose this study was determine safety and feasibility retrograde perfusions during percutaneous cryoablation.A retrospective review performed on 136 patients treated with at a single academic institution between 2009 2015. Six...
The use of marijuana in the USA has been steadily increasing over last 10 years. This study is first to investigate effect by live kidney donors upon outcomes both and recipients.
Although the research methodology literature includes empirical benchmarks for effect sizes and intraclass correlations to help researchers determine adequate sample through power analysis, it does not include similar that would assist proper planning attrition. To fill this void, paper describes how can incorporate student attrition in analyses provides amount of one might expect when conducting a school-based study follows students over multiple years. The incorporates parameters common...
Purpose: Ultrasound (US) guidance during renal access and mass biopsy reduces radiation exposure, but can be technically challenging. A needle system might simplify these procedures. The purpose of this randomized crossover trial was to compare conventional computer-assisted US systems for biopsy. Materials Methods: Seventy-one subjects were perform or on a phantom using in study design. primary outcome success rate including subgroup analysis by experience level. Secondary outcomes included...
