the 19-gauge needle group (6 vs. 5; P = 0.501). No patient in either group had significant adverse events such as bleeding or death. CONCLUSION EUS-LB is safe and is associated with less pain, shorter hospital stay, and high diagnostic yield (93%) compared to PC-LB. Randomized trials are needed to standardize the utility of EUS-LB.Big data pro…[Read more]

5 V at a 6-month follow-up was 96.3%. The LV lead was successfully fixated to the prespecified pacing location in 97.4% of cases. CONCLUSIONS This large, multinational study of the Attain Stability Quad lead demonstrated a high rate of implant success with a low complication rate. The active fixation mechanism allowed precise placement of the p…[Read more]

Headache is a common reason to visit the emergency department (ED). Tension-type headache (TTH) is the commonest headache. The diagnosis of TTH implies a mild condition, with no need for special tests. We evaluated the use of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD) criteria for TTH in the ED. We performed a cross-sectional…[Read more]

BACKGROUND Constipation is an important and highly prevalent predictor of inadequate bowel preparation during colonoscopy. In North America, between 2 and 28% of the general population suffer from constipation. Despite the high prevalence of constipation, to our knowledge, no meta-analysis on the optimal bowel preparation for constipated patients…[Read more]

der the curve 69.2% [range 62.8%-75.6%]). CONCLUSIONS We found that age, BMI, tumor location, and timing of radiation are associated with the risk of wound complications. Based on these factors, a validated nomogram has been established that can provide an individualized prediction of wound complications in patients with a resected soft-tissue…[Read more]

On multivariate logistic regression analysis, age ≤90 days, higher DNI and CRP levels, and the presence of VUR were independent predictors of bacteremic UTI. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the multivariate model was 0.859 (95% CI, 0.779-0.939; P less then 0.001). Age ≤90 days, higher DNI and CRP values may help pr…[Read more]

006). A shorter duration of VAP treatment was recorded in high dose group (P=0.061). We did not observe any significant adverse event related to meropenem. Acinetobacter spp. (34.8%), Klebsiella spp. (32.6%) and, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (19.5%) isolated more frequently from sputum cultures. CONCLUSION Treatment with high dose of meropenem seems to…[Read more]
