BACKGROUND: Historically, clinicians have demonstrated a lack of confidence and poor aptitude for biostatistics as tool medical literature interpretation. Evaluation pharmacy residents' ability to interpret commonly used in peer-reviewed has not been previously conducted. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the level understanding perception concepts among residents. METHODS: A survey postgraduate year 1 (PGY1) residents American Society Health-System Pharmacists–accredited residency programs was...
Nighttime and weekend admission has been associated with increased morbidity mortality linked to a variety of factors. Medication errors in hospitalized patients occur frequently, but the association between error rates time day week (weekday vs weekend) not extensively studied.To compare reported medication over 1-year period daytime versus nighttime shifts weekday children's hospital characterize types that occurred.One hundred forty January December 2008 were retrospectively reviewed...
We compared immediate and delayed error correction during sight-word instruction with 5 students developmental disabilities. Whole-word immediately followed each for words in the condition. In condition, whole-word was provided at end of session's three practice rounds. Immediate superior on four dependent variables.
Migraine headaches are typically episodic in nature and may affect nearly 10% of the population. In addition to treatment, prevention subsequent episodes or progression a chronic migraine state is an important therapeutic area. Topiramate centrally acting medication approved for both seizures headache. At this time, exact mechanism how topiramate assists unknown. Several large randomized, controlled trials have aided establishing topiramate's role prevention. Despite favorable...
This study presents two novel theoretical models to elucidate frequency sensitive nuclear mechanisms in low-intensity ultrasound enhanced bioeffects. In contrast the typical 1.5 MHz pulsed regime, our group previously experimentally confirmed that stimulation of anchored chondrocytes at resonant maximized gene expression load inducible genes which are regulatory markers for cellular response external stimuli. However, ERK phosphorylation displayed no dependency, suggesting biochemical...
Based on the grade of open fracture, which antibiotic should be selected for antimicrobial prophylaxis, and what is optimal timing duration administration?For Grade I II fractures, a first-generation cephalosporin (eg, cefazolin) administered within 3 hours initial injury continued 24 after injury. III fractures require coverage with an aminoglycoside in addition to injury, antibiotics 48-72 but no more than wound closure. If fracture at risk contamination clostridium species, such as...
What is known and Objective: Thermodysregula-tion, including hypothermia, recognized as a potential adverse effect secondary to atypical antipsychotics. We report the first case of hypothermia possibly associated with long-acting risperidone depot injection, precipitating further events supratherapeutic phenytoin concentrations. Case summary: A 75-year-old African-American female presented transfer from an outpatient psychiatric center (35·1 °C), bradycardia, altered mental status series...
A case of topiramate-induced myoclonus and acute psychosis in a patient taking the recommended dosage topiramate for migraine prophylaxis is reported. 29-year-old Caucasian, wheelchair-bound woman with diplegic cerebral palsy history migraines was admitted to hospital after developing paranoid thoughts episodes two weeks an increase her (25 mg twice daily 50 daily). Her physical examination upon admission unremarkable, exception temperature 38.2 °C. Diagnostic laboratory test values,...
Matching the frequency of driving force to that system's natural vibration results in greater amplitude response. Thus we hypothesize applying ultrasound at chondrocyte's resonant will result deformation than similar power a outside bandwidth. Based on this hypothesis, our group previously confirmed theoretically and experimentally stimulation suspended chondrocytes resonance (5 MHz) maximized gene expression load inducible genes. However, study was based chondrocytes. The chondrocyte does...
Is intravenous lipid emulsion a safe and effective therapy for the reversal treatment of local anesthetic toxicity?Systematic reviews, human case reports, experimental animal studies have demonstrated efficacy in successfully reversing cardiac arrhythmias, arrest, collapse seen with severe systemic toxicity. There are fewer data to support neurologic toxicities associated anesthetics.Intravenous 20% should be available whenever patients receive large doses anesthetics operating rooms...
Failure of the host/graft interface to integrate impedes success cartilage repair protocols. Continuous low-intensity ultrasound (cLIUS) at resonant frequency 5 MHz is proposed as a treatment modality for promoting native-to-native integration in vitro. Cylindrical incisions (4 mm) simulating chondral discontinuity were made bovine and osteochondral explants, maintained under cLIUS stimulation (14 kPa [5 MHz, 2.5 Vpp], 20 min, four times/day) 28 days. Incised explants categorized into three...
