Despite the excellent prognosis of Fédération Internationale de Gynécologie et d'Obstétrique (FIGO) stage I, type I endometrial cancers, a substantial number patients experience recurrence and die from this disease. We analyzed value immunohistochemical L1CAM determination to predict clinical outcome.We conducted retrospective multicenter cohort study determine expression by immunohistochemistry in 1021 cancer specimens. The Kaplan-Meier method Cox proportional hazard model were applied for...
The hypothesis that forced-air warming preserves core temperature better than circulating-water mattresses was tested in: (a) 16 adults undergoing major maxillofacial surgery, including radical node resection and flap reconstruction; (b) 53 hip arthroplasty, having approximately 25% of their body surface area available for warming; (c) 20 infants minor surgery; (d) 10 young children pelvic or femoral osteotomies. Patients each type surgery were randomly assigned to (approximately 40 degrees...
There is a substantial amount of evidence from animal models that early brain injury (EBI) may play an important role for secondary after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Cerebral microdialysis (CMD) allows online measurement metabolites, including the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), which indicative disruption blood-brain barrier.Twenty-six consecutive poor-grade aSAH patients with multimodal neuromonitoring were analyzed...
Monocyte phenotype, their phagocytic capacity as well the cytokine production from 10 patients with sepsis low interleukin-6 (IL-6) serum concentrations (<1000 pg/mL) and 8 high IL-6 (⩾1000 plasma were investigated within 24 hours of fulfilling criteria for sepsis. Monocytes levels had higher human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR, HLA-ABC, CD64, CD71, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) IL-8, monocytes to phagocytose, was significantly elevated. Of IL-6, 4 died. In contrast, all survived until day...
Abstract Background Computerized physician order entry systems (CPOE) can reduce the number of medication errors and adverse drug events (ADEs) in healthcare institutions. Unfortunately, they tend to produce a large partly irrelevant alerts, turn leading alert overload causing fatigue. The objective this work is identify factors that be used prioritize present alerts depending on 'context' clinical situation. Methods We combination literature searches expert interviews validate possible...
While Nursing Informatics competencies seem essential for the daily work of nurses, they are not formally integrated into nursing education in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, nor there any national educational recommendations. The aim this paper is to show how such recommendations can be developed, what competency areas most relevant three countries implemented practice. To end, a triple iterative procedure was proposed applied starting with health informatics other professionals, matching...
Social presence is a key element in collaborative/cooperative learning. In online learning environments, it challenging to measure the current state of social presence. This work aims identify measures We manually coded 3546 students' postings (n = 49 students). selected from network analysis and indices derived log data as potential indicators. conducted an exploratory path define which indicators appropriately describe The size individual egocentric student's (path coefficient −0.56**)...
Summary Background: Progress in the medical sciences, together with related technologies, past has led to higher specialization and created a strong need exchange health information across institutional borders. The concept of electronic records (EHR) was introduced fulfill these needs. Remarkably, many EHR introduction projects ran into trouble, not least because they lacked acceptance among physicians. Negative emotions, such as anxiety fear due lack information, may cause change barriers...
To analyze the attitude of physicians towards alerting in CPOE systems different hospitals countries, addressing various organizational and technical settings view not currently using a CPOE.A cross-sectional quantitative qualitative questionnaire survey. We invited 2,600 eleven from nine countries to participate. Eight had use, three participating were system.1,018 participated. The general is positive found be mostly independent country, specific their personal experience with systems....
Recent evidence suggests axonal injury after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH). The microtubule-associated protein, tau, has been shown to be elevated in the cerebrospinal fluid aSAH, however, brain extracellular tau levels and their relation long-term neurological cognitive outcomes have not investigated.Serial cerebral microdialysis (CMD) samples were collected from 22 consecutive aSAH patients with multimodal neuromonitoring determine CMD-total-tau by ELISA. was analysed...
SUMMARY Induction, emergence and recovery characteristics were compared during sevoflurane or halothane anaesthetic in a large (428) multicentre, international study of children undergoing elective inpatient surgical procedures. Two hundred fourteen each group underwent inhalation induction with nitrous oxide/oxygen halothane. Incremental doses either drug added until loss eyelash reflex was achieved. Steady state concentrations anaesthesia maintained the end surgery when agents terminated...
BACKGROUND: Using serum, plasma or tumor tissue specimens from biobanks for biomarker discovery studies is attractive as samples are often readily available. However, storage over longer periods of time can alter concentrations proteins in those specimens. We therefore assessed the bias estimates association case-control conducted using banked when maker levels changed single markers and also multiple correlated simulations. Data a small laboratory experiment serum guided choices simulation...
Even if English is the leading language for international communication, it essential to keep in mind that research runs at local level by teams generally communicating their local/national language, especially Europe among European projects. Therefore, Federation Medical Informatics - Working Group on Health Inter-regional Cooperation" has one objective: To develop a multilingual ontology focusing and Digital as collaboration tool improves and, particular, collaborations. We have developed...
To determine what information can be helpful in prioritizing and presenting medication alerts according to the context of clinical situation. assess usefulness different ways delivering user.An international Delphi study with two quantitative rounds. 69 researchers expertise computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems were asked estimate 20 possible factors, potential impact six innovative alert on adverse drug event (ADE) rates.Participants identified following top five items (in...
Spreading depolarizations (SDs) are highly active metabolic events, commonly occur in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and may be triggered by fever. We investigated the dynamics of brain-temperature (T brain ) core-temperature core relative to occurrence SDs. Twenty consecutive comatose ICH multimodal electrocorticograpy (ECoG) T monitoring perihematomal area were prospectively enrolled. Clusters SDs defined as ≥2 SDs/h. Generalized estimating equations used for statistical...

Diclofenac, a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug, is commonly used as antipyretic therapy in intensive care. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects parenteral diclofenac infusion on brain homeostasis, including brain-tissue oxygen tension (PbtO2) and metabolism after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).We conducted prospective, observational with retrospective analysis 21 consecutive aSAH patients multimodal neuromonitoring. Cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), mean...
Abstract Introduction Elevated brain potassium levels ([K + ]) are associated with neuronal damage in experimental models. The role of extracellular [K ] patients poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and its association load, metabolic dysfunction outcome has not been studied so far. Methods Cerebral microdialysis (CMD) samples from 28 poor grade aSAH were analyzed for CMD 12 consecutive days after ictus, time-matched to hemodynamic parameters as well corresponding plasma ]....
