OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between recorded head accelerations and impact locations acute clinical outcome of symptomatology, neuropsychological, postural stability tests after cerebral concussion in Division I collegiate football players. METHODS A prospective field study was used which accelerometers were embedded helmets 88 Linear rotational all impacts sustained over course 2004 to 2006 National Collegiate Athletic Association seasons collected real-time. Change scores...
Although the history of recognition child abuse in Europe and North America extends over 40 years, data are lacking other parts world. Cultural differences child-rearing complicate cross-cultural studies abuse.To ascertain rates harsh less-harsh parenting behavior population-based samples.We used parallel surveys parental discipline children samples mothers Brazil, Chile, Egypt, India, Philippines, United States. Data were collected between 1998 2003. The instrument was a modification...
The epidemiology of sports-related concussion is not well-described in the literature. This paper presents a descriptive seven high school and collegiate sports.We used data from Concussion Prevention Initiative (CPI), which enrolled 8905 athletes at 210 schools 26 colleges prospective cohort study 7 sports (football, men's women's soccer, lacrosse, ice hockey) between 1999 2001. Injury risks injury rates were to characterize incidence concussion, changes symptoms over time described.A total...
Dual PPARα/γ can improve both metabolic effects and minimized the side caused by either PPARα or PPARγ agonist. The PRESS V study was aimed to evaluate safety, tolerability, efficacy of saroglitazar 2 mg 4 capsules (Lipaglyn™; Zydus Code: ZYH1) as compared high dose pioglitazone in patients with diabetic dyslipidemia. In this 26-week double-blind, parallel arm, phase 3 hypertriglyceridemia type diabetes mellitus (BMI > 23 kg/m2; hypertriglyceridemia: TG 200 400 mg/dL; glycosylated hemoglobin...
PURPOSE Standard therapy for locally advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) is concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by adjuvant durvalumab. For biomarker-selected patients with LA-NSCLC, we hypothesized that sequential pembrolizumab and risk-adapted radiotherapy, without chemotherapy, would be well-tolerated effective. METHODS Patients stage III NSCLC or unresectable II an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1 were eligible this trial. a PD-L1 tumor proportion...
Objective To determine the prevalence of physical violence during pregnancy and factors associated with it. Design A population‐based, multicentre, cross sectional household survey. Setting Rural, slum urban non‐slum areas Bhopal, Chennai, Delhi, Lucknow, Nagpur, Trivandrum Vellore, in India. Participants total 9938 women who were 15 to 49 years age living a child younger than 18 old. Methods Probability proportionate size sampling households was performed three strata. Trained field workers...
Background The rapidly expanding field of microbiome studies offers investigators a large choice methods for each step in the process determining microorganisms sample. human cervicovaginal affects female reproductive health, susceptibility to and natural history many sexually transmitted infections, including papillomavirus (HPV). At present, long-term behavior cervical early sexual life is poorly understood. Methods V6 V6–V9 regions 16S ribosomal RNA gene were amplified from DNA isolated...
Various measures of observer agreement have been proposed for 2x2 tables. We examine the behavior alternative The and corresponding chart were calculated under various scenarios marginal distributions (symmetrical or not, balanced not) degree diagonal agreement, their behaviors are compared. Specifically, two specific paradoxes previously identified kappa examined: (1) low values despite high observed highly symmetrically imbalanced marginals, (2) higher asymmetrical distributions. Kappa...
When assessing the concordance between two methods of measurement ordinal categorical data, summary measures such as Cohen's (1960) kappa or Bangdiwala's (1985) B-statistic are used. However, a picture conveys more information than single measure.We describe how to construct and interpret agreement chart illustrate its use in visually several example clinical applications.The charts provide visual impression that no statistic can convey, statistics reduce characteristic data. is personal...
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a highly prevalent condition that associated with adverse health outcomes. It has been proposed BV's role as pathogenic mediated via bacteria-induced inflammation. However, the complex interplay between vaginal microbes and host immune factors yet to be clearly elucidated. Here, we develop molBV, 16 S rRNA gene amplicon-based classification pipeline generates molecular score diagnoses BV same accuracy current gold standard method (i.e., Nugent score). Using 3...
Incremental delays in time to treatment initiation (TTI) have been shown cause a proportional, increased independent risk of disease-specific mortality for breast cancer, colorectal cancer (CRC), head and neck (HNC), non-small-cell lung (NSCLC), pancreatic cancer. Studies suggest that are associated with racial socioeconomic disparities. We evaluated associations between patient factors TTI identify those delay.This is retrospective cohort study at an urban community-based academic center...
Female genital tract secretions are bactericidal for Escherichia (E.) coli ex vivo. However, the intersubject variability and molecules that contribute to this activity have not been defined.The concentration of immune mediators in cervicovaginal lavage (CVL) collected from 99 healthy women were determined.CVL reduced number E. colonies by 68% [-26, 100] (median [range]). CVL active against laboratory clinical isolates coli, but inactive Lactobacillus species. Bactericidal correlated with...
Context: Clinicians sometimes treat concussed individuals who have amnesia, loss of consciousness (LOC), a concussion history, or certain symptom types more conservatively, but it is unclear whether recovery patterns differ in with these characteristics. Objective: To determine (1) LOC, and history influence the acute symptoms, cognition, balance; (2) cognition balance are influenced by type. Design: Cohort study. Setting: Seven sports at 26 colleges 210 high schools. Patients Other...
With the rising epidemic of cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) in low- and middle-income countries, urban populations face unique challenges such as poor sanitation, environmental pollution, limited access to healthcare. This study estimates point prevalence CMDs associated risk factors adults Karachi, analyses CMD by sex, explores relationship between depression. A door-to-door survey was conducted a densely populated community within 0.5 km radius primary health centre. minimum 1,480 families...
The purpose of our research was to study the clinical outcomes children with congenital heart disease (CHD) requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support after cardiac surgery at a tertiary care children's hospital. Retrospective review all patients CHD who required postcardiotomy ECMO between January 2001 and September 2004 (45 months) undertaken. Various outcome predictors were tested for any association survival hospital discharge using univariate analysis. A total 84...
