Ten second-grade classes participated in a year-long project which instruction was generally compatible with socioconstructivist theory of knowledge and recent recommendations the National Council Teachers Mathematics. At end school year, 10 were compared 8 nonproject on standardized achievement test instruments designed to assess students' computational proficiency conceptual development arithmetic, their personal goals mathematics, beliefs about reasons for success mathematics. The levels...
To determine the diagnostic accuracy of virtual histology intravascular ultrasound imaging (VH IVUS) carotid plaque and to assess feasibility VH IVUS identify with embolic potential in patients undergoing artery stenting (CAS).Thirty (17 men; mean age 74+/-7 years) were entered nonrandomly into a single-center, prospective, 2-arm study following FDA Institutional Review Board approval. In one arm, 15 underwent examination cerebral protection device immediately followed by endarterectomy...
Retrograde type A dissection during or after endoluminal graft repair of the descending thoracic aorta is a potentially lethal complication unique to endografting. Our aim increase its awareness and review possible etiological factors.Two hundred eighty-seven patients with different aortic pathologies were treated endovascular prostheses over last 6 years (February 2000 March 2006) under single-site protocol. retrospective was conducted identify any retrograde dissections by both chart film...
We examined the effect of alemtuzumab and basiliximab induction therapy on patient survival freedom from bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) in double lung transplantation. The United Network for Organ Sharing database was reviewed adult transplant recipients 2006 to 2013. primary outcome risk-adjusted all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included time BOS. There were 6117 patients identified, whom 738 received alemtuzumab, 2804 basiliximab, 2575 no induction. Alemtuzumab had higher...
Thoracic pseudoaneurysms are rare variety of aortic disorders. Although mostly asymptomatic, they represent potentially fatal conditions (Sullivan et al., Chest 1988;93:138-143; Razzouk Ann Surg 1993;59:818-823) that traditionally treated surgically. False aneurysms aorta usually a late complication previous surgical procedure 1988)-especially reconstructive surgery, trauma (Razzouk 1993), and rarely infection (Sanchez-Recalde J Am Coll Cardiol 2003;41:152-154). Surgical management is often...
The relative importance of spatial visualization ability and cognitive development for achievement in a geometry course preservice elementary teachers was investigated. Both factors correlated significantly with achievement, but an analysis variance, only the main effect due to significant. There no interaction between factors. semester-long on students' also It found that greater at end than beginning.
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is an under treated disease. Although surgery for TR remains effective therapy, many patients are considered to be at a high risk or otherwise inoperable. Caval valve implant (CAVI) offers alternative in these patients. Trials assessing the safety and efficacy of caval lacking.The Heterotopic Implantation Of Edwards-Sapien XT Transcatheter Valve Inferior VEna cava treatment severe Regurgitation (HOVER) trial FDA approved, physician initiated, prospective,...
Purpose:To review our experience with thoracic endografting for type B aortic dissection using the TAG Endoprosthesis. Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed of data collected prospectively from March 2000 to July 2004 under an investigational device exemption protocol endograft. In this time period, 40 patients (29 women; mean age 67 years, range 39–91) were treated endograft dissection. Results:Technical success 95%. There 1 (2.5%) perioperative death, and (3%) endoleak additional...
