Many recent articles highlight the data revolution in healthcare, an offshoot of the vast amount of digital medical information that has now accumulated in electronic medical records (emrs), and present it as an opportunity to create a learning healthcare system. The generally proposed vision is for a population data -... |
Odorant binding proteins (obps) were identified almost three decades ago (vogt and riddiford 1981), but their roles in insect olfaction are still a matter of considerable debate . That obps are involved in odorant reception was disputed after odorant receptors (ors) were demonstrated to respond to semiochemicals when e... |
Minimally invasive surgery was first described by wickham in 1987 and refers to surgical techniques that are less invasive than open surgery for the same purpose . Conventional open, laparoscopic, robot - assisted laparoscopic, and video - assisted minilaparotomy surgery (vams) have been performed as minimally invasive... |
The clinical utility of most conventional chemotherapeutics is limited either by the inability to deliver therapeutic drug concentrations to the target tissues or by severe and harmful toxic effects on normal organs and tissues . Liposomes are small, spherical, and enclosed compartments separating an aqueous medium fro... |
A 60-year - old male patient was referred to an otorhinolaryngology clinic due to a lump on the left side of his jaw, which had grown in 2 months . Ultrasound sonography test examination revealed a cystic mass that was 2417 mm in size with smooth contours . Multiple echogenic and reactive lymph nodes with partially vis... |
They almost always require open reduction and internal fixation . Due to the increase in the emergence of native bone setters, these fractures are increasingly been managed by these spurious bone setters using native splints . As a result the choice of implants used can be either a dynamic condylar screw plate (dcs) or... |
Ensuring the highest quality of health care for all stroke patients is important in the current climate of scarce resources and the increasing burden of stroke to the health sector . There is a strong international momentum to improve the quality of acute stroke management.1 this is supported by high level evidence tha... |
Different modalities of neuromodulation such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (schlaepfer et al ., 2003; george, 2010), vagus nerve stimulation (kosel and schlaepfer, 2003; schlaepfer et al ., 2008b), and magnetic seizure therapy (lisanby et al ., 2001; kayser et al ., 2010) have been proposed and system... |
If left untreated, ureteropelvic junction obstruction (upjo) can lead to hydronephrosis and progressive impairment of renal function . With success rates exceeding 98%, currently, several studies have reported on the high success rate of redo pyeloplasty . However, to our knowledge, the factors affecting functional out... |
The hydatid cyst is a zoonosis caused by adult or larval stages of tapeworms belonging to the genus echinococcus granulosus . The tapeworm stage is harbored in the intestine of carnivores such as dogs, which constitute the definitive host, and the eggs are passed in the feces of the infected carnivores and ingested by ... |
Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic disease of the central nervous system leading to seizures worldwide . Humans develop cysticercosis when they ingest eggs of the tapeworm taenia solium usually found in fecal - contaminated water or food . Neurocysticercosis (ncc) is endemic to many parts of the world [37]... |
Most chd prevalence data are based on population - based birth defect registries or clinical symptoms . A few studies have assessed the prevalence of chd at birth by the echocardiographic screening of an in - hospital population . No large - sample, population - based study on chd using echocardiography has been conduc... |
Renal transplantation rates are low among patients highly sensitized to human leukocyte antigen (hla) because of the high rate of antibody - mediated rejection and subsequent graft loss . It was recently reported, however, that preoperative desensitization using an anti - cd 20 antibody (rituximab) and intravenous immu... |
Acute kidney injury (aki), defined as an abrupt drop of renal function within a short period, is a frequent and serious complication in the intensive care unit (icu) or after surgery, with an incidence of 7.7%42% in patients with previous normal renal function.1,2 aki or even a minor increase in serum creatinine level ... |
Human brain plasticity or neuroplasticity refers to the capacity of the nervous system to modify the organization of the brain structure and function in response to experience . Previous studies suggested that both short - term [2, 3] and long - term training [46] can modulate brain structural changes involved with bot... |
