Abstract Purpose To measure the elastic properties of vastus lateralis (VL), medialis (VM), and sartorius (Sr) muscles using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE). Materials Methods obtain a normative database aforementioned muscles, oblique scan directions were prescribed passing through each muscle. Shear waves induced into pneumatic mechanical drivers at 90 120 Hz, respectively. These attached to distal end right thigh with knee flexed 30°. The foot was placed in footplate containing...
Patients with overt hyperthyroidism (OH) commonly have proximal limb muscle weakness that improves after correction of hyperthyroidism. It is unclear, however, if patients milder degrees (referred to as subclinical or SCH) may also a degree weakness. This clinical relevance SCH are often elderly and therefore concurrent sarcopenia aging would represent previously unrecognized complication SCH.We measured both thigh strength cross-sectional area in OH (n = 30) 24), prior treatment again at...
Among 83 consecutive patients operated on for thyrotoxicosis at the Mayo Clinic between January 1, 1980 and May 1986, four had a combination of pathologic findings that were similar unexpected: involutional changes; degenerative destructive follicular lesions; zones fibrosis. These four, but none remaining 79, being treated with amiodarone cardiac tachyarrhythmias; this drug is known to be taken up by thyroid gland. Characteristically, small groups involuted follicles exhibited varying...
Abstract Risk assessment and safety planning are considered a cornerstone of mental health practice, yet limited research exists into how nurses conceptualize ‘risk’ they engage with risk planning. The aim the present study was to explore nurses’ practices confidence in A self‐completed survey administered 381 Ireland. findings indicate that focus on self others, suicide, self‐harm, substance abuse, violence being most frequently assessed. from others ‘iatrogenic’ were less considered....
Abstract Purpose To measure the stiffness of vastus medialis (VM) in hyperthyroid patients before and after treatment. Materials Methods A total five healthy euthyroid were tested using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), which involves induction shear waves thigh muscles a pneumatic driver at 90 Hz. Results Among pretreatment cohort lower was found when muscle relaxed (2.11 ± 0.61 kPa) compared following treatment hyperthyroidism (5.52 1.52 kPa), accompanied by an improvement contractile...
The prevalence of mental health problems is higher in prisoners than for the general population. Increasing numbers people prison with has meant that many prisons do not have access to appropriate supports meet large demand, long waiting periods referrals. Peer-based interventions been recognised as having potential contribute provision prisoners. Consequently, a program peer mentoring (POWER), adopting recovery orientation support prisoner was developed by organisation Suicide or Survive...
Treatment with the antiarrhythmic agent amiodarone results in alterations thyroid hormone metabolism, and can induce either hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism (amiodarone-associated thyrotoxicosis, AAT). AAT occurs patients both without preexisting goiter. In our study of nongoitrous variety, effect vitro treatment concurrent potential inhibitors on cells (FRTL-5) was assessed by measuring release radiolabeled chromium (51Cr). addition, histopathology evaluated autopsy specimens from six...
Despite a strong rationale for trials of somatostatin analogs in the treatment Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO), recent studies have provided conflicting results.The objective study was to determine whether octreotide long-acting release (LAR) is effective active GO.This prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.The setting single tertiary referral center.Twenty-nine consecutive euthyroid patients with GO [clinical activity score (CAS) >or= 3] were enrolled; 25 completed...

Environmental perceptions are central to individuals' behavioural interactions with the environment. Cognitive maps, portraying a spatial representation of an individual's environmental perception, can be aggregated gain insight into collective perception groups and populations. This paper uses cognitive mapping techniques examine one aspect flood risk within residential population (n = 305). Flood was examined for whole sample six subgroup pairs. Using subgroups allowed examination how...
