8-4.1%). Most cases were not serious (old formulation, 65.8%; new formulation, 78.7%). Reporting rates were similar or higher for the old formulation within subgroups of at-risk patients. Nature/distributions of adverse events by thyroid-stimulating hormone levels as determined by both the marketing authorization holder of levothyroxine and the…[Read more]

t is also essential for future studies to understand the training needed by the participants as well as to enhance the app’s user-friendliness and to develop automatic image checks based on participant feedback.

No other study has focused on the principal problems in the use of automatic apps for assessing nutritional intake. This study shows…[Read more]

5 vs. 50.0 years,

< 0.001; 41.7% vs. 6.1%,

= 0.010; and 33.3% vs. 2.5%,

= 0.003, respectively). ATDs were challenged in 14 cases. The ATD associated most often with SCAR cases was rifampin (81.8%), followed by isoniazid (66.7%), ethambutol (50.0%), pyrazinamide (33.3%). Six patients (42.9%) had hypersensitivity reactions to 2 or…[Read more]

In summary, an overall positive and ongoing secular trend in height and body mass was documented in Romanian children and adolescents, especially for the pubertal age-range, in concordance to other western countries, but out of phase by approximately 20 years.

In summary, an overall positive and ongoing secular trend in height and body mass was…[Read more]

Fitting an animal model to CD_calf could be more preferred to fitting the model to CD_dam, because the former could separate the genetic effects of dams and calves.

Ultrasound guided axillary vein access (UGAVA) is an emerging approach for cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation not widely utilized.

This is a…[Read more]

Emerging epidemiological studies suggested that Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors may increase infectivity and severity of COVID-19 by modulating the expression of ACE2.

In silico analysis was conducted to compare the blood expression levels of SARS-CoV-2 entry genes between age and gender matched cohort of…[Read more]

To evaluate the characteristics of needle artifacts and the accuracy of needle insertion using a 1.2 Tesla open magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system in a phantom.

First, the apparent width of the needle on the MRI and the needle tip position error of 16- and 18-gauge MRI-compatible introducer needles and a 17-gauge cryoneedle were…[Read more]

The complete mitochondrial genome was determined for the flying gurnard Dactylopterus volitans belonging to the family Dactylopteridae. The total length of the D. volitans mitochondrial genome is 16,632 bp, which consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a control region. It has the typical vertebrate mitochondrial g…[Read more]

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is an acute and severe disease with high disability and mortality. Inflammatory reactions have been proven to occur throughout SAH. Extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs-EVs) have shown broad potential for the treatment of brain dysfunction and neuroprotective effects through neurogenesis…[Read more]

To compare the safety and efficacy of transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB) using a Quick-Core biopsy needle or a forceps biopsy in patients with liver transplantation (LT) who were suspected of having rejection.

From June 2015 to January 2017, 98 TJLBs (60 patients) with the Quick-Core biopsy needle and 95 TJLBs (58 patients) with a forceps…[Read more]
