Objectives/Hypothesis Determine the incremental health care costs associated with diagnosis and treatment of acute otitis media (AOM) in children. Study Design Cross‐sectional analysis a national health‐care cost database. Methods Pediatric patients (age < 18 years) were examined from 2009 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. From linked medical conditions file, cases AOM extracted, along comorbid conditions. Ambulatory visit rates, prescription refills, ambulatory then compared between...
The population of adults with repaired tetralogy Fallot (TOF) is growing, thanks to improvements in the surgical and medical management this condition. Accordingly, late postrepair complications are important concerns these individuals. Initial repair TOF typically occurs infancy, consisting patch ventricular septal defect (VSD) relief right outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction. Although patients may remain asymptomatic for several decades, majority will have progressive pulmonic regurgitation...
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of combining Nitazoxanide with lactulose compared to alone in treatment overt hepatic encephalopathy. Methods: This Comparative Cross-sectional Study was conducted at department Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Pakistan Institute Medical Sciences, Islamabad from July 2019 December 2019. In this study, 150 cirrhotic patients encephalopathy were randomized into two groups: one receiving plus Lactulose (Group A) other B). Patient demographics, aetiology...
Background and objective: Helicobacter pylori infection metabolic syndrome are two progressive factors noticed in developing countries, but their association is still controversial. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of both subjects with without syndrome. Methods: A case-control was conducted at Ble General Hospital, 658 taken divided into groups first those who were diagnosed as (328 subjects) second control group (330 subjects). pylori-specific IgG antibody some biochemical...
Background Locally advanced cancers of the pancreatic body can abut or involve celiac axis, hepatic artery, superior mesenteric artery. Recent evidence suggests that these tumors are amenable to surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (Hackert et al., cancer: therapy with FOLFIRINOX results in resectability 60 % patients. Ann Surg 264:457–463, 2016; Rangelova Surgery improves survival for borderline and locally a single-institution experience. 273:579–86, 2021). An arterial divestment...
To determine the prevalence of unsuspected thyroid nodules on contrast enhanced 16- and 64-modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) chest, in a population adult outpatients imaged for indications other than disease.This retrospective study involved review intravascular contrast-enhanced MDCT scans chest from 3077 consecutive outpatients, to identify nodules. Exclusion criteria included history cancer, known or disease risk factors as evidenced by their medical records. One 9 radiologists...
To analyze the immediate postoperative and long-term hearing outcome data in patients who have undergone preservation attempts with middle cranial fossa (MCF) approach for resection of sporadic vestibular schwannoma.Retrospective review a surgical patient cohort.Tertiary academic referral center.Adult unilateral schwannoma.Surgical treatment MCF approach.Comparison pre- audiometric accordance 1995 2012 American Academy Otolaryngology/Head Neck Surgery guidelines on reporting outcomes word...
To explore the perioperative utility of three-dimensionally (3D)-printed temporal bone models patients undergoing repair lateral skull base defects and spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leaks with middle cranial fossa approach.Case series.3D-printed models-based on patient-specific, high-resolution computed tomographic imaging-were constructed using inexpensive polymer materials. Preoperatively, demonstrated extent lobe retraction necessary to visualize proposed in base. Also preoperatively,...
Importance. Superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SCD) is a third window lesion of the inner ear causing symptoms vertigo, autophony, tinnitus, and hearing loss. A "two-hit" hypothesis has traditionally been proposed, whereby thinly developed bone overlying superior disrupted by sudden change in intracranial pressure. Although SCD may be precipitated head injury, no previous reports have described temporal fracture directly SCD. Observations. Two patients sustained fractures after closed...
<h3>Importance</h3> Superior canal dehiscence syndrome (SCDS) is an increasingly recognized cause of hearing loss and vestibular symptoms, but the etiology this condition remains unknown. <h3>Objective</h3> To describe 7 cases SCDS across 3 families. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This retrospective case series included patients from different families treated at a neurotology clinic tertiary academic medical center 2010 to 2014. Patients were referred by other otolaryngologists or...
Background: Increasing QRS duration may be of prognostic significance in patients with right bundle branch block (RBBB) and assist predicting overall cardiovascular risk. Methods: To test this hypothesis, we examined the Computerized Patient Records complete persistent RBBB. Primary secondary end points were all‐cause cardiac mortality. The effects on death rates analyzed using Cox proportional hazards regression model (P < 0.05). We identified 52,852 EKGs selected all those diagnosis...
Large conductance calcium-activated potassium (BK) channels are very prominently expressed in adrenal chromaffin and many anterior pituitary cells, where they shape intrinsic excitability complexly. Stress- sex-steroids regulate alternative splicing of Slo-alpha, the pore-forming subunit BK channels, chronic behavioural stress has been shown to alter Slo tree shrew adrenals. In present study, we focus on mice, measuring effects total mRNA expression Slo-alpha gene, two key channel beta genes...
Objective: To determine the feasibility of a patient-specific, three-dimensionally (3D)-printed reconstruction plate for repair lateral skull base defects. Study Design: Prospective case series and cadaveric study. Setting: A university-based, tertiary care hospital. Patients: Three patients with defects five cadavers. Main Outcome Measure(s): Caliper gauge fit testing was performed in cadaver temporal bones to tegmen engaging defect. Additionally, three underwent standard their middle fossa...
