To analyze whether frailty and comorbidities are associated with in-hospital mortality and discharge to home in older adults hospitalized for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Single-center observational study.

Patients admitted to geriatric care in a large hospital in Sweden between March 1 and June 11, 2020; 250 were treated…[Read more]

Anemia has and will continue to be a central theme in medicine particularly as clinicians are treating a burgeoning population of complex multi-organ system processes. As a result of multiple randomized controlled trials (RCTs), meta-analyses, and societal recommendations overly restrictive paradigms and under-administration of erythropoiesis…[Read more]

Owing to the fields of nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics today we can think of devising approaches to optimize health, delay onset of diseases and reduce its severity according to our genetic blue print. However this requires a deep understanding of nutritional impact on expression of genes that may result in a specific phenotype. The extensive…[Read more]

14, 95%CI 2.42, 3.85; P < 0.00001), and 72-hour incontinence episodes (MD = 1.17, 95%CI 0.56, 1.78; P = 0.0002) compared with sham electroacupuncture (SA), pelvic floor muscle training, and medication.

The effectiveness and safety of EA for key outcomes for women with SUI are statistically significantly better than those of SA, but most…[Read more]

The process of genetically programmed cell death, or apoptosis, plays a crucialrolein cellular homeostasis and gene expression. Defactinib Disruption of apoptosis may lead to aberrant immune responses, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) present in various microRNA (miRNA) genes and targets being an…[Read more]

An additional FUS-NFATC2 fusion was identified by RT-PCR, Sanger sequencing, and fluorescent in situ hybridization in 1 of the 3 cases negative for fusions by targeted RNA sequencing. At least a large subset of SBCs represents cystic neoplasms characterized by FUS-NFATC2 or EWSR1-NFATC2 fusions, which also define a group of distinct, rare…[Read more]

Other particularly significant predictors were the percentage of professionals who gave correct advice to the expectant mother-not to consume any alcohol during pregnancy-and perception of the risk from drinking wine during pregnancy. The number of pregnancies correlates positively with alcohol intake during pregnancy, while the expectant mother’s…[Read more]

Results The site was launched in November 2013. Over a 6-year period, the channel grew from 48 videos to 125 videos with over 10,500 cumulative watch time hours. The channel is promoted by the AFF Centers through email, social media, conference presentations and outreach exhibits. The channel is also publicized during coordinated national outreach…[Read more]

e cases should include magnetic resonance imaging of the whole spine.Studies using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) typically incorporate a fade-in, short-stimulation, fade-out sham (placebo) protocol, which is assumed to be indistinct from a 10-30 min active protocol on the scalp. However, many studies report that participants can…[Read more]
