Abstract Background In animal studies, zinc supplementation inhibited phosphate-induced arterial calcification. We tested the hypothesis that higher intake of dietary was associated with lower abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) among adults in USA. also explored associations AAC supplemental intake, total and serum level. Methods performed cross-sectional analyses 2535 participants from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2013–14. Dietary intakes were obtained two 24-h recall...

Anosmia and ageusia are symptoms commonly associated with COVID-19, but the relationship disease severity, onset recovery unclear.To examine factors anosmia from these in an ethnically diverse cohort.Individuals tested for SARS-CoV-2 between March April 2020 were eligible study. Randomly selected participants answered a telephone questionnaire on COVID-19 focus ageusia. Additionally, relevant past medical history data clinical course obtained electronic records. 486 patients group 103...
Severe sepsis and septic shock (SS/SS) treatment bundles reduce mortality, early infectious diseases (ID) consultation also improves patient outcomes. We retrospectively examined whether ID further outcomes in Emergency Department (ED) patients with SS/SS who complete the bundle.We included 248 adult ED completed 3-hour bundle. Patients within 12 hours of triage (n = 111; ID) were compared received standard care 137) for in-hospital 30-day readmission, length hospital stay (LOS), antibiotic...
Persistent low-level hemolysis (LLH) during continuous-flow mechanical circulatory support is associated with subsequent thrombosis. Free hemoglobin from ongoing scavenges nitric oxide (NO) to create an NO deficiency which can augment platelet function leading a prothrombotic state. The phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor, sildenafil, potentiates signaling inhibit function. Accordingly, we investigated the association of sildenafil administration and thrombotic events in patients LLH Heart Mate II...
Background: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is approved for treatment of patients with severe stenosis across the spectrum risk. While considering broader indications use, transcatheter in large native annuli has become increasingly important. Methods: Patients tricuspid undergoing using Evolut R or PRO+ 34 mm valves (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) Society Thoracic Surgeons/American College Cardiology Valve Therapy Registry between October 2016 and September 2020 were stratified...

There is paucity of data about prevalence pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) in children with pulmonary contusion (PC). We intend to evaluate PC chest trauma and the association between PARDS.Retrospective review Institutional Trauma Registry for patients trauma.Level 1 center.Age 18 years younger a diagnosis PC.None.Of 1916 trauma, 50 (2.6%) had PC. Patients PARDS lower Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score (7 [3-15] vs 15 [15-15], P = .0003), higher Injury Severity (ISS) (29...

Abstract Objectives The Evolut R FORWARD study confirmed safety and effectivenesss of the THV in routine clinical practice out to 1 year. Herein, we report final 3‐year follow up study. Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a proven alternative surgery elderly patients with symptomatic severe stenosis. Long‐term outcome data platform are scarce. Methods prospective multicenter observational that evaluated system at 53 centres. Eligible had native stenosis or failed...
