There are marked racial/ethnic differences in hip and knee joint replacement care as well as concerns that value-based payments may exacerbate existing racial/ethnic disparities in care.

To examine changes in joint replacement care associated with Medicare’s Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) model among White, Black, and…[Read more]

Bioorthogonal decaging reactions for controllable drug activation within complex biological systems are highly desirable yet extremely challenging. Herein, we find a new class of Pt(II)-triggered bioorthogonal cleavage reactions in which Pt(II) but not Pt(IV) complexes effectively trigger the cleavage of O/N-propargyl in a variety of ranges of…[Read more]

The real-world status of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) receiving antithrombotic treatment is largely unknown. The All Nippon AF In the Elderly (ANAFIE) Registry, a prospective, multicenter, observational study, aimed to determine treatment patterns, risk factors, and outcomes among elderly (aged ≥75 y…[Read more]

62), up-to-seven (c-index = 0.50), and Kyoto (c-index = 0.50) criteria (all p less then 0.001). The largest weighted parameter in the MoRAL-AI was tumor diameter, followed by alpha-fetoprotein, age, and protein induced by vitamin K absence-II. The MoRAL-AI had better predictability of tumor recurrence after LT than conventional models. The…[Read more]

The generalized leaky filtered-x least mean square (GLFxLMS) algorithm can reduce the noise amplification caused by the waterbed effect in feedback active control systems effectively; however, it suffers from a high computation complexity. Hence, a frequency band constrained filtered-x least mean square algorithm is proposed to reduce the…[Read more]

Results show that greater HRV and interoception are associated with better ER. Specifically, high parasympathetic activity largely predicted the use of adaptive ER strategies such as reappraisal, and better acceptance of emotions. High interoception, instead, was predictive of effective downregulation of negative emotions and handling of social…[Read more]

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) may be the first manifestation of cancer. We aimed at evaluating the performance of

F-Fluorodesoxyglucose Positron-Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (FDG PET/CT) for occult cancer screening in patients with unprovoked VTE.

This was a pre-specified analysis of a systematic review and individual…[Read more]
