Inflammation has been associated with cardiovascular events and mortality, using C-reactive protein (CRP) as a marker. We examined whether the baseline serum concentration of CRP can independently predict development hypertension or future systolic diastolic blood pressure (BP) in community-based population Taiwan. A study sample was recruited cycle 2 (1990–1993) CardioVascular Disease risk FACtors Two-township Study (CVDFACTS) followed to 1994–1997. total 2,113 nondiabetic adults normal BP...
In a flipped classroom (FC) model, blended learning is used to increase student engagement and by having students finish their readings at home work on problem-solving with tutors during class time. Evidence-based medicine (EBM) integrates clinical experience patient values the best evidence-based research inform decisions. To implement FC EBM, require sufficient information acquisition skills. Therefore, regarded as an excellent teaching model for tutoring EBM However, effectiveness of...
Abstract The present study investigated the prognostic values for office brachial (OB), central (OC), and ambulatory daytime (AmDB) hypertension, as defined by a unifying threshold of 130/80 mmHg, incremental value either OC or AmDB hypertension to OB hypertension. A total 1219 community residents without receiving anti‐hypertensive treatment (671 men 548 women, aged ≥ 30 years old) from Taiwan Kinmen islands had OB, OC, blood pressure measurements during cardiovascular survey conducted in...
Stress and psychological disorders have been assigned increasing significance in the field of occupational health. Based on Japan's psychiatric disability disease recognition regulation, Taiwan's Council Labor Affairs announced "Evaluation Guidelines for diseases induced by work-related stress" 2009. This evaluation tool was designed to assess source intensity non-work-related mental stress, references existing Japanese guidelines. However, empirical data from workers various sectors Taiwan...
This study aims to rigorously compare the effectiveness of educational programs a new integrated clinical clerkship in medicine (3 months) and surgery at cancer center with conventional subspecialty-based rotations tertiary teaching hospital, by this prospective, pre-post comparative method. Between 2013-2016, we compared 69 students who had selected that emphasized competency medical humanities training 138 matched peers completed clerkships during same period. Outcome measures for included...
Abstract Background In a flipped classroom (FC) model, blended learning is used to increase student engagement and by having students finish their readings at home work on problem-solving with tutors during class time. Evidence-based medicine (EBM) integrates clinical experience patient values the best evidence-based research inform decisions. To implement FC EBM, require sufficient information acquisition skills. Therefore, regarded as an excellent teaching model for tutoring EBM However,...
Doctors usually diagnose patients based on their symptoms or medical investigation results, yet useful supplemental information such as living style behaviors and daily nutrition intake prior to the clinic visit is hardly known. This study proposes a statistical model of time-dependent-weighted maximum likelihood estimator constructs Caloric Activity Index (CAI) at an individual level objectively monitor predict consumers’ health status dietary behavior by using retail scanner data. The...
Abstract Background: Hemodynamic assessment in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is essential for risk stratification and pharmacological management. However, the prognostic value of hemodynamic changes after treatment less well established. Objectives: We investigated impacts indices, including mean artery pressure (mPAP), vascular resistance (PVR), right atrial (RAP) cardiac output index (CI). conducted this systematic review meta-regression analysis on existing clinical...
