Unintentional falls are a common cause of severe injury in the elderly population. By introducing small, noninvasive sensor motes conjunction with wireless network, Ivy Project aims to provide path towards more independent living for elderly. Using small device worn on waist and network fixed home environment, we can detect occurrence fall location victim. Low-cost low-power MEMS accelerometers used while RF signal strength is locate person.
To determine the effect of introduction low dose computed tomography screening in 2013 on lung cancer stage shift, survival, and disparities diagnosed United States.Quasi-experimental study using Joinpoint modeling, multivariable ordinal logistic regression, Cox proportional hazards modeling.US National Cancer Database Surveillance Epidemiology End Results program database.Patients aged 45-80 years as having non-small cell (NSCLC) between 1 January 2010 31 December 2018.Annual per cent...
<h3>Objective</h3> To determine whether age bias is a factor in triage errors. <h3>Design</h3> Retrospective analysis of 10 years (1995-2004) prospectively collected data the statewide Maryland Ambulance Information System followed by surveys emergency medical services (EMS) and trauma center personnel at regional EMS conferences level I centers, respectively. <h3>Patients</h3> Trauma patients were defined as those who met American College Surgeons physiology, injury, and/or mechanism...
Background: Previous studies have suggested that prehospital spine immobilization provides minimal benefit to penetrating trauma patients but takes valuable time, potentially delaying definitive care. We hypothesized who are immobilized before transport higher mortality than nonimmobilized patients. Methods: performed a retrospective analysis of in the National Trauma Data Bank (version 6.2). Multiple logistic regression was used with as primary outcome measure. compared versus without...
Prehospital intravenous (IV) fluid administration is common in trauma patients, although little evidence supports this practice. We hypothesized that patients who received prehospital IV fluids have higher mortality than did not receive the setting.We performed a retrospective cohort study of from National Trauma Data Bank. Multiple logistic regression was used with as primary outcome measure. compared versus without administration, using patient demographics, mechanism, physiologic and...
In Brief Background: While incidental masses in certain organs have received particular attention, periampullary and pancreatic incidentalomas (PIs) remain poorly characterized. Methods: We reviewed 1944 consecutive pancreaticoduodenectomies (PD) over an 8-year period (April 1997 to October 2005). A total of 118 patients (6% all PDs) presented with finding a or mass. The PI were analyzed compared the rest cohort (NI, nonincidentaloma group, n = 1826). Results: Thirty-one percent (n 37) had...
Object There is limited information on the relationship between patient age and clinical benefit of resection in patients with glioblastoma. The purpose this study was to use a population-based database determine whether influences frequency that gross-total (GTR) performed, also GTR associated survival difference different groups. Methods authors identified 20,705 adult glioblastoma Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) registry (1998–2009). Surgical practice patterns were defined...
Background: Age at diagnosis is incorporated into all relevant staging systems for differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). There growing evidence that a specific age cutoff may not be ideal accurate risk stratification. We sought to evaluate the interplay between and oncologic variables in patients with DTC using largest cohort date. Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) database was queried identify as their only malignancy period 1973 2009. Multivariate analyses range...
Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) compared with open increases perioperative survival, but it is not known if long-term survival.To compare outcomes after vs endovascular AAA.Retrospective analysis patients 65 years or older in the Medicare Standard Analytic File, 2003-2007, who underwent isolated intact AAA. Cause death was determined from National Death Index.The primary outcome all-cause mortality. Secondary were AAA-related mortality, hospital length stay, 1-year...
The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) currently recommends initiating breast cancer screening at 50 years of age in patients average risk. 1 However, we hypothesize that these guidelines may not be sensitive to racial differences and inappropriately extrapolating data from largely white populations for use racially diverse populations.This process could result underscreening nonwhite female patients.These concerns are similar broader discussions regarding sex bias the clinical...
