Under the U.S. Lung Allocation Score (LAS) system, older and sicker patients are prioritized for lung transplantation (LT). The impact of these changes on health-related quality life (HRQL) after transplant has not been determined. In a single-center prospective cohort study from 2010 to 2016, we assessed HRQL before repeatedly LT up 3 years using SF12-Physical Mental Health, respiratory-specific Airway Questionnaire 20-Revised, Euroqol 5D/Visual Analog Scale utility measures by multivariate...
Abstract Altered bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling is associated with many musculoskeletal diseases. However, it remains unknown whether BMP dysfunction has direct contribution to debilitating pain reported in of these disorders. Here, we identified a novel neuropathic phenotype patients fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), rare autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by progressive heterotopic ossification. Ninety-seven percent carry an R206H gain-of-function point...
Brain activity in response to food cues following Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) binge eating (BE) or non-binge (NB) individuals is understudied. Here, 15 RYGB (8 BE; 7 NB) and 13 no treatment (NT) (7 6 women with obesity underwent fMRI imaging while viewing high low energy density (HEF LEF, respectively) non-food (NF) visual cues. A region of interest (ROI) analysis compared BE participants NB those undergoing surgery pre-surgery 4 months post. Results were corrected for multiple...
