Currently, the diagnosis of malignant pheochromocytoma can only be made when there is clinical evidence metastasis or extensive local invasion. Thus, a need for new diagnostic marker(s) to identify tumors with potential. The purpose this study was microRNAs (miRNAs) that are differentially expressed between benign and pheochromocytomas assess their accuracy. Toward aim, we analyzed miRNA expression in tumor samples using whole genome microarray profiling. Microarray analysis identified eight...
Background Access to routine virologic monitoring, critical ensuring treatment success, remains limited in low- and middle-income countries. We report on implementation of viral load (VL) monitoring risk factors for failure among HIV-infected children antiretroviral (ART) Western Kenya. Methods Routine VL testing was introduced western Kenya November 2013. performed a case-control study 1190 ≤15 years ART who underwent June 2014–May 2015. A random sample 98 cases (virologic define as >1000...

This was the first Australian study investigating acceptability, feasibility and sustainability of a nurse‐led model chronic disease management in general practice. A concurrent mixed‐methods design used within 12‐month intervention care three practices. Adult patients with type 2 diabetes, hypertension and/or stable ischaemic heart were randomized into or standard care. Semi‐structured interviews explored perceptions key stakeholders towards this including arm, all practice staff pre‐...
The Australian government’s commitment to health service reform has placed general practice at the centre of its agenda manage chronic disease. Concerns about capacity GPs meet growing disease burden stimulated implementation and testing new models care that better utilise nurses (PN). This paper reports on a mixed-methods study nested within larger trialled feasibility acceptability model nurse-led management in three practices. Patients over 18 years age with type 2 diabetes, hypertension...
The majority of care for people with type 2 diabetes occurs in general practice, however when insulin initiation is required it often does not occur this setting or a timely manner and may have implications the development complications. Increased practice an important goal given increasing prevalence relative shortage specialists. Coordination between primary secondary care, medical nursing personnel, be achieving this. Relational coordination theory identifies key concepts that underpin...
Abstract Previous researchers have indicated that collaborative practice between doctors and nurses results in positive effects on patient care, health‐care costs provider satisfaction. Despite these benefits, appears to be the exception, rather than dominant pattern, within health care. A relationship cannot evolve if individuals do not value respect others' competencies. This study, a mailed survey, used Collaboration with Medical Staff Scale compare perceptions of doctor–nurse...
12-O-Tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a tumor promoter, stimulates DNA synthesis in mouse epidermal cells vivo and vitro. This response appears to be mediated through polyamine metabolism because ornithine decarboxylase (L-ornithine carboxy-lyase, EC 4.1.1.17)activity is markedly increased shortly after promoter exposure this induction varies magnitude according dose potency of series phorbol esters. In vitro, exogenous putrescine (0.01-10 mM) results dose-related increase...
In this grounded theory study we explored the process of recovery following total hip replacement (THR) surgery from perspective older adult. In-depth interviews were conducted with 10 patients aged more than 65 years who had been discharged hospital for a period 4 to 6 months THR surgery. Findings showed that three distinct but interrelated processes constitute physical, psychological, and social process: reclaiming physical ability, reestablishing roles relationships, refocusing self....
