Purpose The goal of this study was to investigate the association between blood draws, injections, pressure readings, trauma, cellulitis in at-risk arm, and air travel increases arm volume a cohort patients treated for breast cancer screened lymphedema. Patients Methods Between 2005 2014, undergoing treatment at our institution were prospectively Bilateral measurements performed preoperatively postoperatively using Perometer. At each measurement, reported number measurements, trauma arm(s),...
Taxane-based chemotherapy for the treatment of breast cancer is associated with fluid retention in extremities; however, its association development cancer-related lymphedema unclear. We sought to determine if adjuvant taxane-based increased risk or mild swelling upper extremity. 1121 patients unilateral were prospectively screened perometer measurements. Lymphedema was defined as a relative volume change (RVC) ≥10 % from preoperative baseline. Mild RVC 5- <10 %. Clinicopathologic...
Long-term, immunosuppression-free allograft survival has been induced in human and nonhuman primate (NHP) kidney recipients after nonmyeloablative conditioning donor bone marrow transplantation (DBMT), resulting transient mixed hematopoietic chimerism. However, the same strategy consistently failed NHP heart transplant recipients. Here, we investigated whether long-term could be achieved by cotransplanting kidneys from donor. Cynomolgus monkeys were transplanted with allografts alone or...
To compare subharmonic aided pressure estimation (SHAPE) with catheter-based measurements in human patients chronic liver disease undergoing transjugular biopsy.This HIPAA-compliant study had U.S. Food and Drug Administration institutional review board approval, written informed consent was obtained from all participants. Forty-five completed this between December 2010 2011. A clinical ultrasonography (US) scanner modified to obtain SHAPE data. After biopsy as part of the standard care, 45...
Background The current standard for assessing the severity of portal hypertension is invasive acquisition hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG). A noninvasive US-based technique called subharmonic-aided estimation (SHAPE) could reduce risk and enable routine these estimates. Purpose To compare quantitative SHAPE to HVPG measurements diagnose in participants undergoing a transjugular liver biopsy. Materials Methods This was prospective cross-sectional trial conducted at two hospitals...
AIMS Influenza-like illnesses (ILI) affect millions each year in the United States (US). Determining definitively cause of symptoms is important for patient management. Xpert Xpress CoV-2/Flu/RSV plus (Xpert Xpress) a rapid, point-of-care (POC), multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test intended simultaneous qualitative detection and differentiation SARS-CoV-2, influenza A/B, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The objective our analysis was to develop cost-consequence model...
Little is known about the effects of ambient lighting on infant growth and development. Although some studies suggest that cycled beneficial to infants in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), research has been needed examine long-term as well impact NICU staff behavior. In this study, 41 preterm structurally identical critical units were provided either or noncycled during a lengthy hospital stay. The study examined relationship lighting, conjunction with birth status (birth weight,...
We sought to determine the risk of lymphedema associated with immediate breast reconstruction compared mastectomy alone.Immediate is increasingly performed at time mastectomy. Few studies have examined whether impacts development lymphedema.A total 616 patients cancer who underwent 891 mastectomies between 2005 and 2013 were prospectively screened for our institution, 22.2 months' median follow-up. Mastectomies categorized as implant, autologous, or no reconstruction. Arm measurements...
Seventy adolescent mother-child dyads were assessed longitudinally to determine relationships among prenatal maternal knowledge and attitudes about parenting, evaluated in the 3rd trimester; postnatal perceptions of parenting stress child temperament as well inter-actional style, when children 6 months age; intellectual, linguistic, behavioral development at 3 years age. Mothers who more cognitively prepared for had displayed better intellectual fewer internalizing externalizing...
