Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease causing great morbidity and mortality in the Western world. To increase anti-inflammatory action decrease adverse effects of glucocorticoids (PLP), a nanomedicinal liposomal formulation this drug (L-PLP) was developed intravenously applied at dose 15 mg/kg PLP to rabbit model atherosclerosis. Since atherosclerosis systemic disease, emerging imaging modalities for assessing atherosclerotic plaque are being developed. (18)F-Fluoro-deoxy-glucose...
Background Although methamphetamine abuse is associated with the development of heart failure (HF), nationwide data on methamphetamine-associated HF (MethHF) hospitalizations are limited. This study evaluates substance to better understand MethHF prevalence trends and clinical characteristics those patients. Methods Results cross-sectional period-prevalence used hospital discharge from National Inpatient Sample identify adult primary a secondary diagnosis methamphetamines, cocaine, or...
Abstract Ex vivo generated dendritic cells are currently used to induce therapeutic immunity in solid tumors. Effective immune response requires home and remain lymphoid organs allow for adequate interaction with T lymphocytes. The aim of the current study was detect track Feridex labeled human murine models using magnetic resonance imaging. Human were incubated effect labeling on function evaluated. cell phantoms estimate sensitivity methods homing evaluated after intravenous or...
Objective Methamphetamine use is associated with systolic dysfunction, pulmonary arterial hypertension and may also be diastolic dysfunction. The impact of methamphetamine cessation on methamphetamine-associated heart failure (MethHF) remains poorly characterised. We aimed to longitudinally characterise patients reduced (METHrEF) preserved (METHpEF) left ventricular ejection fraction (EF), evaluate the relationship between clinical outcomes. Methods performed a retrospective cohort study,...
Aim: This study estimates the costs and outcomes pre- versus post-implementation of an early deterioration detection solution (EDDS), which assists in identifying patients at risk clinical decline. Materials & methods: A retrospective database analysis was conducted to assess average per discharge, length stay (LOS), complications, in-hospital mortality 30-day all-cause re-admissions EDDS. Results: Average discharge were significantly reduced by 18% (US$16,201 vs $13,304; p = 0.007). LOS...
Several fire safety benefits are realised when considering autonomous vehicles (AVs) using parking buildings. Hazards posed by the increasing number of alternatively powered on road, such as electric (EVs), may be mitigated. Parking AVs in designated zones would allow for installation fire-suppression systems other than those that water-based, permit alternative ventilation requirements and reconfiguration building structure. Connected could communicate with vehicles, emergency services,...
Introduction: Echocardiography plays an important role in diagnosis of Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO). However, there are some anatomic variations which may result a false negative study. Case presentation: A 55-year-old male was hospitalized for acute right-hemiplegia. The EKG revealed normal sinus rhythm. Brain imaging bilateral infarcts. transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) showed ejection fraction without significant valve disease and agitated saline Bubble Trans-esophageal (TEE) study using...
