To identify factors predictive of relapse risk and disability in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein associated disease (MOGAD).Patients were seen by the neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) service Liverpool, UK, a national referral centre for adult patients with MOGAD, NMOSD related conditions.Patients MOGAD=76 from England, Northern Ireland Scotland included this cohort study.Relapsing was observed 55% (42/76) cases. Steroid treatment >1 month (OR 0.2, 95% CI 0.05 to 0.80;...
Informed consent forms are used in biomedical research as a mechanism to convey study information potential subjects so that they may arrive at decision concerning their willingness participate. Although the Department of Health and Human Services Regulations for Protection Subjects require presentation specific level is easily understood, according adult forms, typical form not readily comprehensible. Unfortunately, no data exist readability informed context pediatric research. In present...
Purpose The "hidden curriculum" has a powerful influence in shaping medical students' attitudes and behaviors toward patient care. purpose of this project was to develop test tool (the C3 Instrument) help educators characterize understand the hidden curriculum at their own institutions. Method In 2000, authors developed survey items measure three content areas with respect patient-centered These include role modeling, patient-care experiences, perceived support for behaviors. distributed...
This report describes three patients with infection involving an automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator. All presented fever, fluid in the pulse generator pocket, leukocytosis and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. A gallium scan, together aspiration culture of from confirmed diagnosis each case.
Background: Isolated first episodes of longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) have typically been associated with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) or myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody–associated disease (MOGAD). However, in some cases, serological testing and screening for other aetiologies are negative, a condition referred to as double seronegative (dsLETM). Objective: The objective this study was evaluate comparative outcomes dsLETM, MOGAD-LETM...
Low dose disopyramide has been used to prevent neurally‐mediated syncope during head‐up tilt testing but a correlation between blood levels and efficacy not described. We measured in 15 patients with recurrent positive 70° tests who underwent one or more repeat on the drug. There were 9 males 6 females, age range 15–78 years. Fourteen of had structurally normal hearts. The daily was 645 ± 165 mg (mean SD). Patients developed no 12 tests. mean level significantly lower than negative (2.4 0.15...
Catheter positioning for radiofrequency ablation of extranodal slow pathways is often guided by local electrogram recordings. To determine the predictors successful sites, we reviewed data from 32 and 104 unsuccessful sites. Univariate a site included occurrence junctional rhythm during (P < 0.001), shorter time to onset = 0.05), presence discrete pathway potential smaller ratio amplitude atrial:ventricular 0.04), later timing 0.001) longer duration atrial electrogram, maximal voltage used...
Radiofrequency ablation of extranodal pathways is an effective treatment for supraventricular tachycardia, but late recurrences pathway conduction do occur. To determine if recurrence palpitations following predicts recurrence, we interviewed 77 patients who were at least 4 weeks status-post successful accessory (43 overt, 11 concealed) or slow (23) AV nodal reentrant tachycardia. Palpitations reported by 45 (58%) postablation, and 28 (36%) lasting > = 10 seconds and/or felt their symptoms...
Subjects performed continuous, visually guided pursuit tracking with the right hand while giving simultaneous discrete left-hand responses, which were signaled by auditory tones appearing at average rate of one tone per 30 s. This secondary task was frequently associated hesitations lasting 333 ms or longer. The occurrence these about same when response involved a choice between competing responses as left responded in previously specified direction. Hesitations occurred for three different...
