Do Cultures Obtained During Primary THA Predict the Likelihood of Revision?
BackgroundThere can be unexpectedly positive culture results during elective hip arthroplasty, but the degree to which these are associated with an increased risk of subsequent premature revision is not known.Question/purposeAre ...
Cell death in hepatocellular carcinoma: Pathogenesis and therapeutic opportunities
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent primary liver cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Closely associated with liver inflammation and fibrosis, hepatocyte cell death is a common ...
Exercise Capacity in Children and Adolescents With Congenital Heart Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Congenital heart disease (CHD) entails structural defects in the morphogenesis of the heart or its main vessels. Analyzing exercise capacity of children and adolescents with CHD is important to improve their functional ...
Optimal opportunistic screening of atrial fibrillation using pulse palpation in cardiology outpatient clinics: Who and how
Atrial fibrillation (AF) remain a prevalent undiagnosed condition frequently encountered in primary care.We aimed to find the parameters that optimize the diagnostic accuracy of pulse palpation to detect AF. We also aimed ...
Reference Gene Validation for RT-qPCR in PBMCs from Asthmatic Patients with or without Obesity
Obesity is known to impair the efficacy of glucocorticoid medications for asthma control. Glucocorticoid-induced gene expression studies may be useful to discriminate those obese asthmatic patients who present a poor ...
Advances in Using MRI to Estimate the Risk of Future Outcomes in Mental Health - Are We Getting There?
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder among the leading disabling conditions worldwide. It affects approximately 20 million people and increases 2–3 times the probability of dying early and decreases the life expectancy by ...
Gender differences in GPs' strategies for coping with the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic in Catalonia: A cross-sectional study
The Covid-19 pandemic has increased stress levels in GPs, who have resorted to different coping strategies to deal with this crisis. Gender differences in coping styles may be contributing factors in the development of ...
Diagnostic Performance and Clinical Applicability of Blood-Based Biomarkers in a Prospective Memory Clinic Cohort
Blood-based biomarkers have emerged as minimally-invasive options for evaluating cognitive impairment. Most studies to date have assessed them in research cohorts, limiting their generalization to everyday clinical practice. ...
An artificial intelligence-assisted system versus white light endoscopy alone for adenoma detection in individuals with Lynch syndrome (TIMELY): an international, multicentre, randomised controlled trial
Background Computer-aided detection (CADe) systems for colonoscopy have been shown to increase small polyp detection during colonoscopy in the general population. People with Lynch syndrome represent an ideal target ...
Perception and control of a virtual body in immersive virtual reality for rehabilitation
Purpose of reviewThis review explores recent advances in using immersive virtual reality to improve bodily perception and motor control in rehabilitation across musculoskeletal and neurological conditions, examining how ...
Emerging issues on Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis and the role in therapy of daptomycin plus fosfomycin
IntroductionMethicillin-resistant and -susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA/MSSA) infections are a major global health-care problem. Bacteremia with S. aureus exhibits high rates of morbidity and mortality and can cause ...
The emergency department arrival mode and its relations to ED management and 30-day mortality in acute heart failure: an ancillary analysis from the EURODEM study
Background Acute heart failure patients are often encountered in emergency departments (ED) from 11% to 57% using emergency medical services (EMS). Our aim was to evaluate the association of EMS use with acute heart failure ...
Call for Action: Benzodiazepine Prescription Prevalence Analysis Shows Off-Label Prescription in One in Eleven Citizens
Objective: Benzodiazepines have a good safety profile. Nevertheless, off-label use of these drugs may increase the risk of falls, dependence, and memory loss. Off-label prescription use is not highly prevalent. Studies ...
Implementation of a New Protocol for Direct Identification from Urine in the Routine Microbiological Diagnosis
The direct identification of uropathogens from urine samples, in combination with the rapid detection of resistance, would allow early adjustment of empirical antimicrobial treatment.Two hundred and ninety-eight urine ...
Decreased practice effects in cognitively unimpaired amyloid betapositive individuals: a multicenter, longitudinal, cohort study
INTRODUCTION We aimed to determine whether cognitively unimpaired (CU) amyloid- beta-positive (A beta+) individuals display decreased practice effects on serial neuropsychological testing. METHODS We included 209 CU ...
Respiratory infections
Respiratory infections, whether acute or chronic, are extremely frequent in both adults and children, representing an increased economic burden on healthcare systems, morbidity and mortality. These infections can be either ...
Early Brain Volume Changes After Stroke: Subgroup Analysis From the AXIS-2 Trial
Background and PurposeThe evolution of total brain volume early after stroke is not well understood. We investigated the associations between age and imaging features and brain volume change in the first month after stroke. ...
Viral community-acquired pneumonia: what’s new since COVID-19 emerged?
Introduction All over the world, viral pneumonia has a significant impact on morbidity and mortality, especially among vulnerable populations. The most common respiratory viruses causing pneumonia include influenza virus, ...
Proposed Definitions of Antibody-Mediated Rejection for Use as a Clinical Trial Endpoint in Kidney Transplantation
Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is caused by antibodies that recognize donor human leukocyte antigen (HLA) or other targets. As knowledge of AMR pathophysiology has increased, a combination of factors is necessary to ...
