Filter by:Patients admitted to Haukeland University Hospital with either UIA or aSAH underwent a measurement of bioelectrical impedance and body mass composition using InBody 10. Lipids and lipoproteins were collected from plasma. 60 patients in total were included in the study.
Low interventional, prospective, multicentre, hospital-based study involving adults 60 years of age and older hospitalised with CAP at participating sites.
A case of a patient with cystic fibrosis with bowel obstruction due to a proximal intestinal obstruction syndrome (PIOS) is presented.This syndrome can be diagnosed with the DIOS definition, with the only distinction of a more proximal location in the gastrointestinal tract, such as the stomach, the duodenum, or the jejunum.
This study investigated the maternal and fetal effects during performance of CSEA in the left lateral decubitus and sitting positions in obese pregnant women undergoing elective cesarean section.
Insufficient community-based support after inpatient discharge for persons with serious mental illnesses (SMI) may lead to re-hospitalization, excessive criminal justice involvement, homelessness, and an inability to embrace recovery. In fact, many of these especially vulnerable persons find themselves in a cycle of repeated hospital stays, arrests, and even homelessness, with little support for real recovery. Public mental health systems are struggling to address these problems. Evidence-based, comparatively inexpensive, time-limited community support models are needed to reduce institutional recidivism and facilitate recovery. The Georgia chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI-GA) developed Opening Doors to Recovery (ODR), and we have collected extensive preliminary data on it. ODR is now being tested in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) taking place in southeast Georgia where ODR was first developed. The primary goals of ODR are to prevent institutional recidivism (i.e., going back into the hospital) and to promote recovery among persons with SMI like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The ODR intervention is comprised of several components that work together to address barriers to successful integration into the community among individuals with SMI and repeated inpatient hospitalizations. A team of 3 specially trained "Community Navigation Specialists" (CNSs, also called Navigators) provides intensive, mobile, community support to persons with SMI with a defined history of inpatient recidivism (i.e., repeated hospital stays). We are carrying out a fully powered trial of ODR in a 7-county catchment area in southeast Georgia, which is an ideal real-world location to carry out the study. During the 5-year study period, we will randomize 240 persons with SMI and a history of ≥2 inpatient stays in the past 12 months to ODR (n=120, followed for 12 months, with a maximum CNS caseload of 40) versus community care in traditional intensive case management or case management (ICM/CM, n=120). Assessments are conducted at baseline (just before hospital discharge), and at 4, 8, 12, and 18 months.
The aim of this clinical trial was to compare the clinical performances of composite resin restorations with/without the polyethylene fiber to the first permanent molar teeth with extensively carious pediatric patients. A total of 75 restorations with (FC; n=38)or without (C; n=37) fiber were placed in the first permanent molar teeth. Restorations were evaluated at baseline-6-12-18 months according to the modified-USPHS criteria. Data were analyzed with Chi-Square and Cochran's Q (p<0.05).
Describe musculoskeletal disorders of workers in a company in Argentina regarding working areas and demographic carachteristics of the workers.
Despite some controversial results, many patients and animal studies have suggested significant benefit of using hypothermia treatment in stroke patient population. However, certain questions for how to applying this therapy properly such as when to start, what is the optimal temperature, how long is the duration, and what is the best hypothermia technology that may avoid the complications including focal soft tissue injuries are still remain questioned. In this study, we will utilize the linear relationship of temperature vs. chemical shift in MR Spectroscopy to measure the brain temperatures in normal men.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of iohexol as a contrast agent on the anticoagulant activity of oral factor Xa inhibitors.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Lung failure is the main cause of death related to COVID-19 infection. The main objective of this study is to assess infection of SARS-CoV-2 and how quality of life is affected in adult volunteers in Lake County, Illinois. Volunteers will be recruited through digital advertisements and participants will be required to fill an online questionnaire. Upon consent, participants will be required to provide nasal swab and blood sample. Approximately 1250 adult volunteers living or working in Lake County, IL will be enrolled. Participants will be followed for approximately 9 months and will be required to provide nasal swab and blood samples every 3 months and complete questionnaires every 2 weeks. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial. Participants will be monitored by medical assessments, blood tests and questionnaires.
