Retrospective observational study.

Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) has traditionally been evaluated morphologically, there is a paucity of literature on quantitative assessment of LSS. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether intraspinal diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters such as apparent…[Read more]

0001), and significantly downregulated the expression of PPARγ (P less then 0.0001). The heat-killed A. muciniphila MucT could significantly modulate the expression of fibrosis markers particularly in MOI 10 (P less then 0.0001), and reversed the HSC activation in LPS-stimulated LX-2 cells. In conclusion, we demonstrated that heat-killed A.…[Read more]

Additional policy approaches may be needed to achieve widespread availability of this option.In the face of the racial health disparities made more visible during the COVID-19 pandemic, statistics tell only part of the story.Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spurred a rapid rise in telemedicine, but it is unclear how use has varied by clinical…[Read more]

Transvenous lead extraction is associated with a significant risk of complications and identifying patients at highest risk pre-procedurally will enable interventions to be planned accordingly. We developed the ELECTRa Registry Outcome Score (EROS) and applied it to the ELECTRa registry to determine if it could appropriately…[Read more]

In this work, we propose a novel autoregressive event time-series model that can predict future occurrences of multivariate clinical events. Our model represents multivariate event time-series using different temporal mechanisms aimed to fit different temporal characteristics of the time-series. In particular, information about distant past is…[Read more]

The 2001 Recommendations for clinical care guidelines on the management of otitis media in Aboriginal and Torres Islander populations were revised in 2010. This 2020 update by the Centre of Research Excellence in Ear and Hearing Health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children used for the first time the Grading of Recommendations,…[Read more]

05) increased the mean relative abundance of KEGG pathways involved in core microbiota cellular processes, environmental information processing, and genetic information processing. In summary, 5-ALA changed bacterial community composition of gut microbiota, reduced colonization of some pathogenes and increased the relative abundance of some…[Read more]

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted public health worldwide. Evidence of SARS-CoV-2 transmission via aerosols and surfaces has highlighted the need for efficient indoor disinfection methods. For instance, the use of ozone gas as a safe and potent disinfectant against SARS-CoV-2 virus is of particular interest. Here we tested the use of…[Read more]

Variations in the vessel radius of segmented surfaces of intracranial aneurysms significantly influence the fluid velocities given by computer simulations. It is important to generate models that capture the effect of these variations in order to have a better interpretation of the numerically predicted hemodynamics. Also, it is highly relevant to…[Read more]
