Background: Much of the literature on epidemiology cleft lip with or without palate is more than three decades old. The question arose as to whether there has been any recent change trend in its rate occurrence. Methods: number live births other congenital anomalies was solicited from national and international organizations. Data were collected for 34 states 30 countries years 2002 2006. All data normalized reported per 10,000 births. Descriptive statistics, addition correlation regression,...
Frailty, a multidimensional syndrome entailing loss of energy, physical ability, cognition, and health, plays significant role in elderly morbidity mortality. No study has examined frailty relation to mortality after femoral neck fractures patients.We the association modified index abbreviated from Canadian Study Health Aging Frailty Index 1- 2-year rates fracture. Specifically we examined: (1) Is there an with patients aged 60 years older who sustain low-energy fracture? (2) Do receiver...
Evidence suggests patients prescribed calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) have a reduced prevalence of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, this result has never been replicated in large cohort and the involved mechanism(s) site action (central versus periphery) remain unclear.We aim to determine if prescription CNIs is associated with AD, large, diverse patient population. Furthermore, we gain insight into for reduce dementia prevalence.Electronic health records (EHRs) from...
Abstract Background It has been shown in many solid tumors that the overexpression of pro-survival Bcl-2 family members Bcl-xL and Mcl-1 confers resistance to a variety chemotherapeutic agents. is critical survival protein cell lineages critically regulated via ubiquitination. Methods The Mcl-1, USP9X expression patterns human lung colon adenocarcinomas were evaluated immunohistochemistry. Interaction between was demonstrated by immunoprecipitation-western blotting. profiles multiple cancer...
Abstract Background Cancer cachexia negatively impacts cancer‐related treatment options, quality of life, morbidity, and mortality, yet no established therapies exist. We investigated the anabolic properties testosterone to limit loss body mass in late stage cancer patients undergoing standard care treatment. Methods A randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled phase II clinical trial was undertaken assess potential therapeutic role adjunct with squamous cell carcinoma cervix or head neck...
Growing evidence supports that dysfunctional autophagy, the major cell mechanism responsible for removing protein aggregates and a route of clearance Tau in healthy neurons, is finding demented Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. However, association autophagy with maintenance cognitive integrity resilient individuals who have AD neuropathology but remain non-demented (NDAN) has not been evaluated.
Recent management of acute cholecystitis favors same admission (SA) or emergent cholecystectomy based on overall shorter hospital stay and therefore cost savings. We adopted the practice SA for treatment at our tertiary care center wanted to evaluate economic benefit this practice. hypothesized that existence complications, particularly among patients with a higher degree disease severity, during could negate savings.To compare complication rates costs between vs delayed admitted emergently...
Abstract This study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of inflammatory markers, erythrocyte sedimentation rate ( ESR ) and C‐reactive protein CRP ), in monitoring treatment osteomyelitis diabetic foot. We screened 150 charts patients admitted our hospital with foot DFO confirmed by positive results bone culture and/or histopathology. included who had an initial / within 72 hours admission two reported follow‐up values. dichotomised based on outcomes wound healing, re‐infection, recurrent...
