This study aimed to compare the clinical performance between a smartphone-based fundus photography device and contact imaging for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening. All patients were first examined with binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy (BIO), which served as reference standard. The then assessed by two devices. Imaging quality, ability judge zone stage ROP, agreement BIO results, vital signs, pain scores compared these In total, 142 eyes 71 infants included. For photography, image...
Nitric oxide plays an important role in mediating the inflammatory process. The aim of this study was to evaluate if nitric production increased during peritonitis patients receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), and association with prognosis. population comprised 21 22 episodes peritonitis. Fifteen without were controls. Nitrate measured by HPLC nitrite Griess method, reflect production. Peritoneal dialysate effluent plasma collected from six 1 week after treatment...
The population of elderly patients entering chronic dialysis programmes is increasing. Elderly are susceptible to malnutrition and have multiple complicating disorders in addition uraemia. Selecting appropriate modality particularly critical patients. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal (CAPD) has many advantages patients; however, the clinical outcome varies for CAPD In comparison with Westerners, Southeast Asians a small body mass index may be more suited therapy. To identify prognostic...
Background MRI, Tinel test, and rhomboid electromyography (EMG) can be used to predict whether C5 spinal nerve stumps are healthy eligible for grafting in acute adult brachial plexus injuries, but their comparative diagnostic efficacies have not been evaluated. Purpose To compare performances of EMG predicting that grafting. Materials Methods This retrospective study included consecutive patients with injury who underwent microreconstructions between January 2008 December 2018. Healthy...
Abstract Background The impact of sex-related differences in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support (ECMO) is still inconclusive. This population-based study aimed to investigate sex short- or long-term outcomes order improve clinical practice. Methods Patients who received ECMO between 2001 2017 were identified from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Propensity score matching with a 1:1 ratio was conducted female-to-male groups, reduce...
Mediastinal abscess is a rare but life-threatening disease with grave prognosis if not recognized in time. The diagnosis of this entity hampered by its nonspecific presentation. Thus, high index clinical suspicion one the keystones successful management these patients. Currently, mediastinitis occurred mostly as complication post cardiovascular or thoracic surgical procedures. Rarely, primary developed result hematogenous spread. We report case renal failure patient who had Staphylococcus...
Fatigue crack growth tests were performed to evaluate the effect of cold work on fatigue behavior 304L stainless steel in ambient air at room temperature and 300°C a simulated BWR coolant environment, respectively. The rates (FCGRs) for as-received (AR) cold-rolled specimens same range FCGRs obtained higher than those temperature. In addition, AR compared with cold-rolled. tested water environment showed corrosion (CFCGRs) relative measured 300°C. Local quasi-cleavages could account...
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Taiwan. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) associated with CRC mortality several population-based studies. However, this effect COPD on shows no difference some studies and remains unclear Taiwan’s population. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using nationwide database. Patients newly diagnosed were identified from 2007 to 2012 via Taiwan Cancer Registry dataset linked...
The structure factor model of small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) analysis is validated herein by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) result regarding the volume fraction and size ${\ensuremath{\delta}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ precipitates. kinetic behaviors number density precipitates in $\mathrm{Al}\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{Li}$ alloys during coarsening stage are quantitatively investigated SAXS. results indicate that conventional law must be replaced a more general equation incorporates...
Background. The present study aimed to analyse factors influencing the effects of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic castration-naïve prostate cancer (mCNPC), especially low-volume disease (LVD), according subclassification established by CHAARTED trial. Materials and Methods. We reviewed 648 mCNPC receiving ADT at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital from January 2007 December 2016. Basic characteristics PSA kinetics profile were subsequently evaluated....
