To compare the efficacy, discontinuation rates, and safety of once nightly versus twice daily dosing pregabalin in a community-based trial.This multicenter, double-blind, 8-week randomized clinical trial compared effects 300-mg doses given either or for treatment fibromyalgia 177 patients. The primary outcome was comparison end point mean pain scores derived from diary.Both (88 patients randomized) (89 patients) significantly reduced average severity experienced by (P < 0.001 both)....
BackgroundThe triangular QRS-ST-T waveform is a rare presentation of ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction associated with poor in-hospital prognosis.ObjectiveTo evaluate the incidence and clinical implications pattern.MethodsClinical data from non-pregnant adult patients who presented as STEMI activations at single institution between 2017 2021 were reviewed. Patients met electrocardiographic criteria for — giant wave fusion QRS complex, ST-segment, T-wave included in...
Introduction The FRAX calculator combines a set of clinical risk factors with country-specific incidence rates to determine the ten-year absolute major osteoporotic fracture. However, regional or databases from Central American countries are not available. We compared use various and Pluijm algorithm in determining Methods collected factor data needed for Hispanic women Guatemala calculated measures fracture hip Subjects were postmenopausal greater than age 40 no history using medication...
Introduction . Regional differences for fracture risk of US Hispanics may vary by national origin. In California, where a majority the Hispanic population is Mexican descent, it interest to compare FRAX absolute using and Mexico databases. Methods We collected factor data from 134 women descent in southern California. The score was calculated databases, NOF guidelines osteoporosis number patients that would be selected treatment. Results 10-year major osteoporotic among database 4.82 ± 5.03...
Introduction: Blunt chest trauma and motor vehicle collisions are common presentations to the emergency department (ED). Chest pain in a patient can usually reasonably be attributed wall injury, leading potential delay diagnosis treatment.Case Report: In this case report, we present 52-year-old male who was brought ED with complaints of pressure after collision. He subsequently found have both displaced sternal fracture simultaneous acute myocardial infarction 100% occlusion mid left...
A 24-year-old man with previous matched unrelated donor allogenic bone marrow transplant for aplastic anaemia and chronic graft versus host disease on steroid taper presented progressively worsening anasarca. CT revealed large pericardial effusion, while echocardiogram was concerning early tamponade physiology. He underwent emergent pericardiocentesis drain placement. Extensive rheumatological infectious work-up unrevealing patient’s presentation attributed to disease. This highlights the...
