The use of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) for diagnosis and management a broad range cardiac vascular conditions has quickly expanded worldwide. It is essential to understand how CMR utilized in different regions around the world potential practice differences between high-volume low-volume centers.
Current pharmacologic prophylactic strategies for migraine have exhibited limited efficacy, with response rates as low 40%-50%. In addition to the acceptability of those were unacceptable. Although noninvasive brain/nerve stimulation may be effective, evidence has been inconsistent. The aim this network meta-analysis (NMA) was compare prophylaxis respect their effectiveness and acceptability.
Abstract Background Thunderclap headache (TCH) is a sudden (SH) with accepted criteria of severe intensity and onset to peak within one minute. It well-known presentation for subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) but most patients TCH or SH run benign course without identifiable causes. Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS), recently recognized characterized by recurrent attacks, has been proposed account these patients. Methods We recruited consecutive presenting at our clinic....
Our study aims to develop an effective integrated machine learning (ML) scheme predict vascular events and bleeding in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation taking dabigatran identify important risk factors. This is a post-hoc analysis from the Randomized Evaluation of Long-Term Anticoagulant Therapy trial database. One traditional prediction method, logistic regression (LGR), four ML techniques—naive Bayes, random forest (RF), classification tree, extreme gradient boosting...
This study examines the association between related-party transactions, level of diversification and auditor sanctions arising from corporate fraud. Sample firms are manually collected list partners sanctioned due to fraud published according Securities Exchange Act Certified Public Accountants in Taiwan 1992 2010. Empirical results indicate that increasing complexity information with aggregate monetary values especially revenue-based transactions (RPTs), increases probability sanctions....
Artemisia ordosica has been applied as a traditional Chinese/Mongolian medicine for the treatment of certain inflammatory ailments. This study was conducted to investigate effect total flavonoids (ATF) supplemented in diets on growth performance, oxidative stress, and antioxidant status lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged broilers. A 240 one-day-old Arbor Acre broilers were randomly allotted into 5 groups with 6 replicates (n = 8), which basal diet group (CON), LPS-challenged (LPS), added...
The stent is a major breakthrough in the treatment of coronary artery diseases. permanent vascular implant stent, however, changes intra-stent blood flow haemodynamics. There growing consensus that may change wall shear stress distribution and hence trigger restenosis process. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been widely used to analyse haemodynamics stented arteries. In this Letter, CFD models were developed investigate effects design pattern strut geometry, respectively, on...
Abstract Hypertension and pain are both prevalent conditions in the older adult population. We aimed to report prevalence of discomforts investigated association between hypertension among adults United States. Data from 2011 National Health Aging Trends Study were analyzed. In-person interviews conducted 7601 ages ≥ 65 years. Prevalence bothersome pain, activity-limiting locations usage medicine evaluated. Demographics, comorbidities, other covariates compared with those without....
In prosthodontics, the ability of glass-ceramics to express optical properties natural teeth is an important goal esthetic restorations. Dental restorations do not merely need be similar in color teeth; proper properties, such as opalescence, transparency, etc., must combined order achieve excellent effects. The ceramic materials are mainly distinguished by different hues (e.g., A, B, C, and D) with translucency high (HT), medium (MT), low (LT), opacity (MO)). However, there many varieties...
The stent has been a major breakthrough for the treatment of atherosclerotic vascular disease. permanent implant stent, however, changes blood flow hemodynamics and may consequently affect restenosis process. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) widely used to analyze hemodynamic behavior wall shear stress (WSS) distribution in stented arteries. objective this study is present thorough comparison among various CFD models investigate effects rheological properties pulsatile on simulation...
Infection is the most common predisposing factor for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA); however, studies are rare that have investigated clinical outcomes of septic patients with infection-precipitated DKA.A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary hospital from 2004 to 2013. Patients DKA in whom presence infection confirmed were enrolled. Characteristics initial presentation, primary sources, and causative microorganisms compared between nonacute kidney injury (non-AKI) group acute...
Objective To examine the longitudinal course of vasomotor symptoms (VMS) in women with a history migraine comparison to without disease. Methods The study sample consisted 467 self‐reported prior diagnosis and 2,466 who were assessed longitudinally during menopausal transition as part Study Women's Health Across Nation. Linear mixed regression models backward elimination used evaluate associations between VMS while adjusting for baseline time‐varying demographic, socioeconomic,...
This research aims to study the effects of rare earth-chitosan chelates (RECC) on growth performance, immunity and antioxidant function in broilers. A total 192 one-day-old mixed-sex Arbour Acres (AA) broilers were allotted into 4 treatment groups with 6 replicates per 8 pen. Broilers fed basal diet supplemented with, respectively, 0 (control group), 150, 200 250 mg/kg RECC for 42 d. The results showed that dietary improved average daily gain decreased feed/gain (p < .05). appropriate dose...
Despite the paucity of scientific evidence, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is widely used for prevention treatment chronic illness, holistic care, counteracting adverse effects conventional therapies. This study aims to determine prevalence CAM use its associated factors among patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) in Taiwan. quantitative was conducted from August 2022 July 2024 HD unit at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital Face-to-face questionnaire-based interviews were...
Due to the increase in human activities and application of nanotechnology, people's exposure nano submicron particles is increasing. Conventional particle separation technologies, such as electrostatic precipitators, cyclone, wet washing, filtration method, cannot work well. In addition, fiber diameter pore size traditional filter material too large, bulk density difficult control. Nanofiber membranes have a large surface area, small high porosity. The nanofiber prepared by electrospinning...
