To determine the spatial overlap agreement between four-dimensional computed tomography (4D CT) ventilation and single photon emission (SPECT) perfusion hypo-functioning pulmonary defect regions in a patient population with malignant airway stenosis. Treatment planning 4D CT images were obtained retrospectively for ten lung cancer patients radiographically demonstrated obstruction due to gross tumor volume. Each also received SPECT study within one week of CT, prior initiation treatment....
Executive function (EF) deficits are a recognised component of the cognitive phenotype youth with Down Syndrome (DS). Recent research in this area emphasises use behaviour ratings, such as Behavior Rating Inventory Functions-Preschool Version (BRIEF-P), to capture real-world applications executive functions. To account for intellectual functioning DS, measure is used out age range; however, its psychometric properties when fashion unknown. The goals study evaluate characteristics BRIEF-P...
To describe the cost of integrating social needs activities into a health care program that works toward equity by addressing socioeconomic barriers.Costs for heart failure based in safety-net hospital were reported staff year May 2018-April 2019. Additional data sources included records, invoices, and survey.We conducted retrospective, cross-sectional, case study includes education, outpatient care, financial counseling free medication; transportation home services those most need;...
Infection from the dengue virus can manifest with a variety of clinical presentations. Cardiac involvement fever is rarely reported phenomenon significant morbidity and mortality. We illustrate case 47-year-old male admitted to hospital fevers. The course was complicated cardiac arrest. Clinicians need be weary this rare occurrence particularly in areas known prevalence for prompt recognition improved patient outcomes.
AIM: Reliable and valid screening assessment tools are necessary to identify children at risk for neurodevelopmental disabilities who may require additional services. This study evaluated the test-retest reliability of Capute Scales in a high-risk sample, hypothesizing adequate across 6- 12-month intervals. METHODS: scores (N = 66) were collected via retrospective chart review from NICU follow-up clinic within large urban medical center spanning three age-ranges: 12–18, 19–24, 25–36 months....
Background: In trials of Project UPLIFT, a distance-delivered, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy intervention, there was improvement in the mental health people with epilepsy/seizure disorder. these trials, however, African Americans have been few. Thus, as this program is disseminated, it desirable to ensure that culturally appropriate for minority populations.
The Tactical Information Technologies for Assured Network Operations (TITAN) Program aims to achieve net-centric information and knowledge management dissemination integrated with data-to-decision C2 Applications. TITAN is a multi-year effort develop, demonstrate mature (I&K) (M&D) services spanning multiple echelons provide support the network-centric operations process collaborative military planning execution monitoring. integrates heterogeneous, open-source intelligent agents web...
Advances in treatment have not recently been reported rare primary vaginal adenocarcinomas. A 56-year-old woman with a chronic cyst and possible utero diethylstilbestrol exposure presented postmenopausal bleeding. Biopsy of the vagina revealed high-grade papillary serous adenocarcinoma. MRI showed 6-cm tumor 3-cm left inguinal lymph node metastasis. The patient initially received concurrent cisplatin radiation. She then high-dose-rate brachytherapy for further local control. Brachytherapy...
Electrocardiographic (ECG) findings in patients admitted with COVID-19 and a decision tree to predict their survival were assessed. 145 consecutive severe infection selected. Patient demographics, ECG variables, peak troponins, use of standard medications, clinical outcomes analyzed using descriptive inferential statistics, predictive model was developed classification analysis. Of the patients, 38 (26%) died. Deceased more likely have significantly higher incidence poor R-Wave progression...
In this report, we develop analytical models and implement numerical schemes to represent a coupled mechanical system of deflections stresses in beams joined together by continuous spring layer. We begin considering one-dimensional uniform rectangular beam resting on layer elastic material with another beneath the material. Following formulation nondimensionalization governing system, consider an analysis steady states, inverse design problem, dynamics linearized model. Numerical simulations...
Purpose: To quantify the relationship between post‐treatment [18F]‐2‐fluoro‐2‐deoxyglucose (18F‐FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) uptake and radiation dose received correlate this with prospectively scored pulmonary toxicity. Methods: 34 patients treated for esophageal cancer thoracic radiotherapy were evaluated at MD Anderson Cancer Center. The treatment planning computed (CT) imaging was registered restaging PET/CT. Using histogram analysis, voxel average FDG‐PET vs. obtained each...
Background: Data regarding relative readmission rates following endovascular and surgical revascularization for chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) are conflicting. Understanding comparative may inform selection of the most appropriate modality these patients. Research Question: What differences in 30-day between interventions CLTI? Methods: The 2012 to 2021 American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program's (NSQIP) Targeted Vascular Module was used identify...
Purpose: Preclinical studies have measured an increase in the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) at distal end of proton therapy beams, however, no clinical consequences been reported. This study compares radiation pneumonitis dose response lungs that received a terminating beam with their contralateral lung. Methods: Thirty‐four patients treated for esophageal cancer who restaging [18F]‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) were selected. Each field arrangement...
A ubiquitous arrangement in nature is a free-flowing fluid coupled to porous medium, for example river or lake lying above bed. Depending on the environmental conditions, thermal convection can occur and may be confined clear region, forming shallow cells, it penetrate into deep cells. Here, we combine three complementary approaches -- linear stability analysis, fully nonlinear numerical simulations, coarse-grained model determine circumstances that lead each configuration. The yields an...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Innovative and strategic interventions are needed to address COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among communities which have been the most heavily impacted by pandemic. Digital a critical component of strategies promote healthy behaviors target populations. Furthermore, given that vulnerable experience mistrust toward health care systems, promotion programs must consider trustworthiness messenger in reaching This campaign utilized digital messaging trusted community...
The phenomenon of convection is found in a wide variety settings on different scales -- from applications the cooling technology laptops to heating water stove, and movement ocean currents describing astrophysical events with convective zones stars. Given its importance these diverse areas, process has been focus many research studies over past two centuries. However, much less conducted how presence an obstruction flow can impact convection. In this work, we find that greatly affect We note...
