Mobile apps hold promise for serving as a lifestyle intervention in public health to promote wellness and attenuate chronic conditions, yet little is known about how individuals with illness use or perceive mobile apps.
We conducted a randomised trial comparing the self-pressurised air-Q™ intubating laryngeal airway (air-Q SP) with LMA-Unique in 60 children undergoing surgery. Outcomes measured were leak pressure, ease and time for insertion, fibreoptic examination, incidence of gastric insufflation complications. Median (IQR [range]) to successful device placement was faster air-Q SP (12 (10-15 [5-18])) s than (14 (12-17 [6-22]) s; p=0.05). There no statistically significant differences between initial...
Overall validity of existing genetic biomarkers in the diagnosis obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) remains unclear. The objective this systematic study is to identify "novel" for OSA using systems biology approach. Candidate genes were extracted from PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase search engines DisGeNET database. gene ontology (GO) analyses candidate prioritization performed Enrichr tool. Genes pertaining top 10 pathways used Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. In total, we have identified 153 genes....
Fluid extravasation from the shoulder compartment and subsequent absorption into adjacent soft tissue is a well-documented phenomenon in arthroscopic surgery. We aimed to determine if qualitative difference ultrasound imaging of interscalene brachial plexus exists relation timing performing an nerve block (preoperative or postoperative).This single-center, prospective observational study compared pre- postoperative images 29 patients undergoing arthroscopy using pretest-posttest methodology...

Background: In African populations, attitudes towards both optimal body size and healthful weights are evolving. Due to the adverse effect of obesity on health, larger sizes beginning be seen as less ideal. Our goal was determine satisfaction in immigrants who were obese. Methods: The participants 326 African-born Blacks enrolled Africans America cohort living metropolitan Washington DC (female: 39%, age 40±11y (mean±SD). region origin were: West: 49% (161/326), Central 12% (39/326) East:...
Physical activity (PA) is an important component in the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes chronic kidney disease (CKD). Determining current patterns predictors PA essential to implement programs that encourage behavior change for patients with these diseases. PURPOSE: To describe self-reported self-efficacy among adults CKD determine overall patterns. METHODS: 76 overweight/obese participants (age: 66±8 y; body mass index [BMI]: 33.0±5.3 kg/m2; sex: 60% male; ethnicity: 91%...
