Early decompressive hemicraniectomy reduces mortality without increasing the risk of very severe disability among patients 60 years age or younger with complete subtotal space-occupying middle-cerebral-artery infarction. Its benefit in older is uncertain.
Student's two-sample t test is generally used for comparing the means of two independent samples, example, treatment arms. Under null hypothesis, assumes that samples arise from same normally distributed population with unknown variance. Adequate control Type I error requires normality assumption holds, which often examined by a preliminary Shapiro-Wilk test. The following two-stage procedure widely accepted: If not significant, used; if rejects hypothesis normality, nonparametric applied in...
Adolescent borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a devastating disorder, and it essential to identify treat the in its early course. A total of 34 female Danish adolescents between 15 18 years old participated 1 year structured mentalization-based group therapy. Twenty-five completed study, which majority (23) displayed improvement regarding symptoms, depression, self-harm, peer-attachment, parent-attachment, mentalizing, general psychopathology. Enhanced trust peers parents combination...
BackgroundAlthough cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for depression, less than half of patients achieve satisfactory symptom reduction during treatment. Targeting known psychopathological processes such as rumination may increase efficacy. The aim this study was to test whether adding group rumination-focused CBT (RFCBT) that explicitly targets routine medical management superior in treating major depression.MethodsA total 131 outpatients with depression were...
This study compared virtual reality (VR) training with low cost-blended learning (BL) in a structured program. Training of laparoscopic skills outside the operating room is mandatory to reduce operative times and risks. Laparoscopy-naïve medical students were randomized 2 groups stratified for sex. The BL group (n = 42) used E-learning cholecystectomy (LC) practiced basic box trainers. VR trained LC on LAP Mentor II (Simbionix, Cleveland, OH). Each 3 × 4 hours followed by knowledge test...
Surprisingly, 40% to 95% of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) show early remission hyperglycemia after obesity surgery. It is unknown what extent other diabetes-associated comorbidities such as distal peripheral neuropathy (DPN) might be influenced by This pilot study aimed at providing further evidence for the impact Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on both glycemic control and DPN in non-severely obese insulin-dependent T2DM.In present prospective cohort study, 20 long-standing,...
Background: Patients with multiple chronic conditions are at high risk for potentially avoidable hospitalizations, which may be reduced by care coordination and self-management support. Medical assistants an increasingly available resource patient in primary practices. Objective: To determine whether protocol-based management delivered medical improves patients future hospitalization care. Design: Two-year cluster randomized clinical trial. (Current Controlled Trials: ISRCTN56104508)...
Background Borderline personality disorder (BPD) typically onsets in adolescence and predicts later functional disability adulthood. Highly structured evidence‐based psychotherapeutic programs, including mentalization‐based treatment (MBT), are first choice treatment. The efficacy of MBT for BPD has mainly been tested with adults, no RCT examined the effectiveness groups (MBT‐G) adolescent BPD. Method A total 112 adolescents (111 females) (106) or symptoms ≥4 DSM‐5 criteria (5) referred to...
Reduced dopaminergic transmission has been implicated in the pathophysiology of major depression. Furthermore, neurotransmission plays an important role physiology visual contrast sensitivity (CS). To test hypothesis that altered a depression we measured patients with and healthy control subjects.Twenty-eight diagnosed depressive disorder were compared to 21 age-matched subjects on their ability detect Gabor target slightly elevated luminance embedded seven equi-contrast distracters.Contrast...
Speech production involves the movement of mouth and other regions face resulting in visual motion cues. These cues enhance intelligibility detection auditory speech. As such, face-to-face speech is fundamentally a multisensory phenomenon. If multisensory, it should be reflected evolution vocal communication: similar behavioral effects observed primates. Old World monkeys share with humans biomechanics communicate vocalizations. It unknown, however, if they, too, combine faces voices to...
In drug development, it is well accepted that a successful study will demonstrate not only statistically significant result but also clinically relevant effect size. Whereas standard hypothesis tests are used to the former, less clear how latter should be established. first part of this paper, we consider responder analysis approach and performance locally optimal rank when outcome distribution mixture non‐responder distributions. We find these quite sensitive their planning assumptions have...
Background The measurement of safety culture in healthcare is generally regarded as a first step towards improvement. Based on self-assessment culture, the Frankfurt Patient Safety Matrix (FraTrix) aims to enable teams improve their organisations. In this study we assessed effects FraTrix general practice. Methods We conducted an open randomised controlled trial 60 practices. was applied over period 9 months during three facilitated team sessions intervention At baseline and after 12 months,...
