The SMD in D-Dimer levels between non-survivors and survivors was 3.59μg/L (95% CI 2.79-4.40μg/L), and the Z-score for overall effect was 8.74 (P<0.00001), with a high heterogeneity across studies (I

=95%).

Despite high heterogeneity across included studies, the present pooled analysis indicates that D-Dimer levels are significantly a…[Read more]

Beyond the immediate toll of injuries and deaths, major disasters are often associated with long-term increased risks of chronic disease. We sought to investigate the incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) among survivors of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami.

Subjects aged ≥18 years from the tsunami-stricken area p…[Read more]

EI1 Histone Methyltransf inhibitor (PCSMi) technique is implemented for the simultaneous detection of antibody binding with specific antigens in arrays containing 96- and 384-spots. Like the surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) technique, the presented approach is label-free and permits interrogating an analyte by hundreds of different ligands…[Read more]

We also attempt to analyze the safety of the most common surgical procedures such as cataract and refractive surgery in diabetic patients and to highlight the specific risk factors. We believe that information about the corneal nerve fibers’ condition obtained from the in vivo subbasal nerve plexus investigation may be crucial in monitoring…[Read more]
