The role of the human amygdala in real social interactions remains essentially unknown, although studies nonhuman primates and using photographs video humans have shown it to be critical for emotional processing suggest its importance cognition. We show here that complete lesions result a severe reduction direct eye contact during conversations with people, together an abnormal increase gaze mouth. These novel findings from are consistent hypothesized autism approach taken opens up new...
To describe the incidence, relative risk, and risk factors for chronic comorbidities in survivors of adolescent young adult (AYA) cancer.This retrospective cohort study included 2-year AYA cancer diagnosed between age 15 39 years at Kaiser Permanente Southern California from 2000 to 2012. A comparison without was individually matched (13:1) on age, sex, calendar year. Using electronic medical records, all participants were followed through December 31, 2014, comorbidity diagnoses. Poisson...
<h3>Importance</h3> Detailed data describing the epidemiology of second malignant neoplasms (SMN) are needed for survivors adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer to inform development age-appropriate survivorship care guidelines. <h3>Objective</h3> To describe incidence, risk factors, mortality SMN in AYA cancer. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This retrospective matched cohort study included 10 574 two-year diagnosed with between January 1, 1990, December 31, 2012, at age 15 39...
Dementia is one of the major causes disability and dependency among older people worldwide. Alz-heimer's disease (AD), most common cause dementia elderly, has great impact on health-care system developed nations. Several risk factors are suggestive an increased AD, including APOE-ε4, male, age, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, low social engagement. However, data AD progression limited. Air pollution revealed to be associated with increasing incidence, but relationship between air clinical...
High serum phosphate levels in chronic kidney disease (CKD) are linked to adverse health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease, progression, and all-cause mortality. This study is aimed find out which microorganisms or microbial functions have a significant impact on higher calcium-phosphorus product (Ca x P) after they undergo hemodialysis (HD) treatment. Feces samples from 30 healthy controls, 15 dialysis patients with controlled Ca xP (HD), 16 (HDHCP) were collected perform 16S...
Acute spinal cord infarction due to dural arteriovenous (AV) fistula is a rare etiology of acute paraplegia that challenges timely diagnosis. We report case 76-year-old male presenting with sudden bilateral lower extremity weakness, urinary retention, and constipation. Diagnostic evaluation revealed an AV causing infarction, confirmed by imaging. Urgent embolization resulted in significant recovery muscle strength, though neurogenic bladder persisted. This underscores the importance...
The eligibility for recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) is rare. We analyze the reasons exclusion from rtPA among patients who were admitted to our hospital within 3 h.A strict protocol hyperacute stroke was set in a university teaching hospital. Consecutive activating June 2004 October 2005 prospectively registered and entered into computerized database. excluded according modified criteria National Institute of Neurological Disorders Stroke trial.Of 182 protocol, only 11...
The biggest hurdle for early hospital presentation is the narrow therapeutic window after stroke. aims of our study were to investigate time lags and factors causing pre‐hospital emergency department (ED) delay during acute ischemic stroke attack. Between June 2004 October 2005, we prospectively studied 129 patients who presented ED within 4 hours symptom onset. Chi‐square testing trend, uni‐variate multiple logistic regression analyses was performed evaluate influencing delays in patients....
The current staging system for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is inadequate predicting outcome. Risk score, a linear combination of the values expression each gene multiplied by weighting value which was estimated from univariate Cox proportional hazard regression, can be useful. aim this study to analyze survival-related genes with TaqMan Low-Density Array (TLDA) and risk score explore gene-signature in cancer. A total 96 NSCLC specimens were collected randomly assigned training (n =...
While the features of rapid-eye-movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) have been reported in Caucasian patients, characteristics Chinese-Taiwanese patients with RBD never examined.Subjects were retrospectively recruited between April 2005 and February 2008 from neurological clinic laboratory Department Neurology Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital. A total 70 consecutive subjects fulfilling criteria for recruited.The records standard overnight polysomnography analyzed retrospectively....
ACADEMIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE 2011; 18:273–278 © 2011 by the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine Abstract Objectives: The rate of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) use stroke is low among Chinese‐Taiwanese. study objective was to determine if less restrictive exclusion criteria rtPA would increase eligibility and treatment. Methods: This retrospective before‐and‐after conducted from 2006 2009. authors compared patients treated under old (January December 2008) with those...
Introduction: Dysphagia-associated pneumonia is a critical health issue especially in the elders and stroke patients which carries poorer prognosis. Therefore, we aim to identify methods with potentials predict subsequent dysphagia patients, will be of great value prevention early management pneumonia. Methods: One-hundred were enrolled measurements including Dysphagia Severity Scale (DSS), Functional Oral Intake (FOIS), Ohkuma Questionnaire, Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10) assessed by...
The general genetic background is important when studying major common diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Determining the underlying factors in populations of different races might allow for tailored management diseases. aim present study was to identify potential single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and genes associated with racial differences.We identified AD-associated SNP carrier frequencies among through National Human Genome Research Institute 1000 Project databases. We...
Decompressive craniectomy reduces fatality in patients with space-occupying infarctions. However, mortality remains high. We aimed to identify predictors of in-hospital and outcomes a cohort large hemispheric stroke receiving decompressive craniectomy.We retrospectively reviewed all diagnosed complete middle cerebral artery infarction craniectomy. Hospital characteristics were compared among different groups (survivors versus non-survivors, good outcome poor outcome). A total 71 consecutive...
