BackgroundSocial isolation has been associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. However, it is unclear whether the associations differ between fatal non-fatal events or by type (living alone having few social contacts). We aimed to examine these in two large UK prospective cohorts.MethodsMillion Women Study Biobank participants without previous stroke who provided data median year 2010 (IQR 2009–2011) on contacts were included this analysis. Participants followed up...
The clinical features, investigation and outcome in 24 patients with pregnancy-associated osteoporosis, followed for up to years from the first pregnancy are described. Symptoms occurred most often (17 patients) at a mean age of 27 (range 21-36); frequent was back pain late or post partum (n = 18); less common hip 5) ankle 1) pain. In most, symptoms improved soon after delivery. Four subjects had pre-existing disorders known reduce bone density (corticosteroid therapy, heparin treatment,...
In a two-physician general practive within 80 km of two university medical centers, there were 4,367 patient visits in six months, from which 233 referrals (5.3%) made to consultants. All referred patients accompanied by referral material and request for follow-up information. The overall rate receiving information was 62%. Private specialists provided substantially more (78%) than either university-affiliated emergency rooms (48%) or specialty clinics (59%). Patients requiring continuing...
Right lobe living donor liver transplantation is an effective treatment for selected individuals with end-stage disease. Although 1 year morbidity and mortality have been reported, little known about outcomes beyond year. Our objective was to analyze the of first 202 consecutive donors performed at our center a minimum follow-up 12 months (range 12-96 months). All physical complications were prospectively recorded categorized according modified Clavien classification system. Donors seen by...
A Moving Target (MT) defense constantly changes a system's attack surface, in an attempt to limit the usefulness of reconnaissance attacker has collected. One approach this strategy is intermittently change configuration. These must maintain functionality and security, while also being diverse. Finding suitable configuration that form MT challenging. There are potentially large number individual configurations' settings consider, without full understanding settings' interdependencies.
Abstract: Background: Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the foremost cause of mortality and an important morbidity in renal transplant recipients. The burden likely to increase as older patients are accepted for transplantation. outcome these high‐CV risk after transplantation, especially with known pre‐transplant coronary artery (CAD), has not been studied. Hence, we looked at CV CAD. Methods: All transplants performed between 1998 2002 our center, followed up 2005, were divided into high‐...
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted health systems worldwide. Studies to date have largely focused on the care system with less attention impact public and practice.
Many centers are reluctant to use older donors (>44 years) for adult right-lobe living donor liver transplantation (RLDLT) due concerns about possible increased morbidity in and poorer outcomes recipients. Since 2000, 130 RLDLTs have been performed at our institution. Recipients were divided into those who received a right lobe graft from </=age 44 (n = 89, 68%; median age 30) >44 41, 32%; mean 52). The two recipient populations had similar demographic operative profiles. With follow-up of...
