An early and accurate diagnosis of septic cardiomyopathy is vital for improving the overall prognosis of sepsis. In our research, we aimed to identify signature genes and their immune connec...
Currently, there remains insufficient focus on non-severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) patients who are at risk of clinical deterioration, and there is also a dearth of research on the...
Complications associated with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery using a synthetic non-absorbable mesh are uncommon (<5%) but may be severe and may hugely diminish the quality of life of...
Implementation of water-less care, including removal of sinks from patient care areas, is an emerging approach to reduce water-borne infections in high-risk areas such as intensive care unit...
To determine the rate of concussion diagnoses per capita recorded in hospital emergency departments in Western Australia (WA) from 2002-2018 for ICD-10-AM concussion diagnoses S06.00-S06.05,...
Unsafe storage of firearms is associated with heightened risk of suicide among veterans. However, contemporary population-based data on the prevalence and correlates of firearm storage pract...
D-ribose, an ubiquitous pentose compound found in all living cells, serves as a vital constituent of numerous essential biomolecules, including RNA, nucleotides, and riboflavin. It plays a c...
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline antibiotic used as an antitumor treatment. However, its clinical application is limited due to severe side effects such as cardiotoxicity. In recent yea...
To assess bleeding risk of patients treated by oral anticoagulants, several scores have been constructed to assist physicians in the evaluation of the benefit risk. Most of these scores lack...
Patients with ovarian cancer have a high risk of developing thrombosis. We aimed to investigate pre and post operative biomarkers associated with thrombosis including deep vein thrombosis an...
For patients on warfarin for mechanical heart valve replacement, the 2020 American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association Guidelines recommend only adding aspirin in patients w...
To evaluate the safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) versus low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in patients with central nervous system (CNS) malignancies and secondary metastases. A...
A treatment's overall favourable benefit-risk profile does not imply that every individual patient will benefit from the treatment. We describe a statistical methodology for quantifying the ...
We enhance the Bayesian Mendelian Randomization (MR) framework of Berzuini et al. (Biostatistics 21(1):86-101, 2018) by allowing for interval null causal hypotheses, where values of the cau...
The present study examined whether dietary diversity is associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in community-dwelling older Japanese adults.Participants comprised 8,195 older adults (me...
The aim of this sub-study was to evaluate the relationship between echocardiography (echo) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) variables and to utilize echo to assess the effect of...
To examine the associations between catheter ablation treatment (CA) vs. medical management and cognitive impairment among older adults with atrial fibrillation (AF).Ambulatory patients who ...
Older adults form a fast-increasing proportion of the world population. However, gains in increasing quantity of life have not been accompanied by similar gains in quality of life. Older peo...
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is genetically heterogenous, driven by beta cell dysfunction and insulin resistance. Insulin resistance drives the development of cardiometabolic complications and is ...
