Background: Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory disease associated with an accelerated risk of myocardial infarction, provides ideal human model to study atherogenesis in vivo. We hypothesized that the increased cardiovascular observed psoriasis would be partially attributable elevated subclinical coronary artery burden composed noncalcified plaques high-risk features. However, inadequate efforts have been made directly measure this vulnerable population. As such, we sought compare total...
The COVID-19 crisis has had an unprecedented impact on resident education and well-being: social distancing guidelines have limited patient volumes forced virtual learning, while personal protective equipment (PPE) shortages, school/daycare closures, visa restrictions served as additional stressors. Our study aimed to analyze the effects of crisis-related stressors residents' professional lives. In April 2020, we administered a survey residents at large academic hospital system in order...
Inflammation is critical in the development of atherosclerosis. Psoriasis a chronic inflammatory skin disease that associated with increased vascular inflammation by 18fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography vivo and future cardiovascular events. It provides human model to understand effect treating target organ (eg, skin) on diseases.To investigate association between change severity at 1 year characterize impact anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy inflammation.In...
Background Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD), which mimics symptoms of obstructive coronary artery disease, has significant prognostic implications. While epicardial adipose tissue normally a protective role, increased is associated with inflammation and may contribute to CMD. However, direct correlation remains unclear. We aimed investigate this association. Methods Results The CMDR (Coronary Microvascular Disease Registry) prospective, 2‐center registry that enrolling patients...
Injuries to the pediatric distal forearm and wrist have myriad manifestations. Growth plate injuries can occur in skeletally immature child. An unfused growth is less robust than ligamentous complexes therefore more easily injured. The Salter-Harris fracture classification system used grade physeal based on their imaging appearance. This grading has prognostic significance: higher grades imply an increased likelihood of eventual disturbance. A disrupted radioulnar joint characterizes...
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly being used in adults following failure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass, after cardiac surgery or cases of severe respiratory failure. Knowledge the different types ECMO circuits, expected locations cannulas and imaging appearance complications essential for accurate interpretation diagnosis. Commonly encountered are malposition cannulas, adjacent distal haemorrhage, stroke, stasis thrombus access vessels, emboli. This article...
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is a noninvasive marker of cellular injury. Its significance in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) unknown.Plasma cfDNA was measured 2 PAH cohorts (A, n=48; B, n=161) and controls (n=48). Data were collected for REVEAL 2.0 (Registry to Evaluate Early Long-Term Disease Management) scores outcome determinations. Patients divided into the following risk groups: low (≤6), medium (7-8), high (≥9). Total concentrations compared among groups by 1-way analysis variance....
BackgroundDespite the independent effect of lower preoperative hematocrit levels and higher transfusion volumes with increased postoperative morbidity mortality, impact interplay between these variables on outcomes remains poorly understood. We hypothesized that after adjusting for hematocrit, red cell transfusions exhibit a stepwise association mortality complications major abdominal surgery (MAS).MethodsAll adults (≥18 years) undergoing elective MAS (colectomy, enterectomy, proctectomy,...
