ObjectivesPatients with tuberculosis (TB) often present weight loss. Lack of gain TB treatment has been associated failure. The purpose this study was to examine patterns in patients and determine the disease characteristics that predict gain.MethodsThis a retrospective cohort adults treated county health system USA. Demographic, clinical, radiographic, microbiological data were recorded addition monthly weights during treatment.ResultsOverall, had significant change over course (p <...
Non-palpable thyroid nodules can be difficult to access by conventional ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration, particularly when they are intrathoracic. Many of these patients subject multiple follow up scans or invasive diagnostic procedures such as mediastinoscopy surgical resection. We aim describe the feasibility endobronchial transbronchial aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for diagnosis lesions. All EBUS-TBNA performed at our institutions from February 2010 2013 were screened, and those in...
Linoleic acid (LA) is a primary n-6 polyunsaturated fatty (PUFA), which of interest to nutritional professionals as it has been associated with health outcomes. However, some LA-rich foods offer protection against chronic diseases such CVD (e.g., fish), while others increase risk red meat), the individual contributing LA intake may be an important factor consider. Therefore, this analysis sought examine whether there are racial/ethnic differences in proportion overall accounted for by food...
Abstract Background Dislocation after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) has an incidence of 2–3%. Approximately 77% dislocations occur within the first year surgery. The SuperPATH technique is a minimally invasive approach for THA that preserves soft tissue attachments. purpose this study to describe dislocation rate at 1 THA. Methods All elective THAs performed by senior author using approach. Exclusion criteria were acute femoral neck fracture, revision surgery, or malignancy. There 214...
Since tanned skin may be perceived as a marker of beauty in American pageant culture, we evaluated contestants regarding motivations for tanning, care behaviors, and possible tanning addiction. Responses were analyzed via summary statistics compared across Fitzpatrick types. Statistically significant differences found between types frequency, feelings attractiveness after perceptions elevated mood tanning. Contestants also demonstrated limited behaviors; nearly 70% respondents examined their...
Delayed posthypoxic leukoencephalopathy is a rare condition that can occur following prolonged cerebral hypo-oxygenation and manifests as acute onset of neuropsychiatric symptoms after period apparent recovery. We describe case 76-year-old man who presented an unwitnessed fall unknown duration with initial recovery followed by progressive neurocognitive decline resulting in dementia, dysphasia, gait apraxia. Initial brain magnetic resonance imaging was unremarkable but repeated revealed...
In rare instances, pediatric Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) may manifest as lung disease. While the imaging features at presentation have been reported, we present sequential computed tomography (CT) scans of a 3-year-old boy with pulmonary LCH, revealing evolution and regression Sequential CT during treatment demonstrated variable cysts, including changes in size, thinning walls, pattern collapse into irregular nodules involution. Our case represents opportunity to examine findings LCH...
Early childhood (0-3 years) is a critical period for obesity prevention, when tendencies in eating behaviors and physical activity are established. Yet, little understood about how the environment shapes children's genetic predisposition these during this time. The Baylor Infant Twin Study (BITS) two phase study, initiated to study risk factors from infancy. Data collection has been completed Phase 1 which three sub-studies pilot central measures 2. A novel infant temperament assessment,...
In rare instances, calcific tendonitis may manifest in the pediatric population as inflammatory calcium hydroxyapatite deposition. To our knowledge, there have been no previous case reports involving flexor pollicis longus tendon at thumb interphalangeal joint. We present a 9-year-old boy with painful mass right Initial radiographs revealed 7-mm ovoid along volar soft tissues of Subsequent ultrasound and magnetic resonance findings further confirmed calcification surrounding edema. Because...

Background: Linoleic acid (LA), a primary polyunsaturated fatty acid, is nutritional quandary as has been associated with diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) protection but may have negative effects in inflammation cancer. Objective: To determine whether the relative contributions of nine food sources (dairy, eggs, select fats oils, fish, fruit, grains, meat, nuts, desserts) to overall LA intake differ by race / ethnicity adult US population. Methods: We included all non-pregnant,...
