The patient became unresponsive and died overnight. As numbers of COVID-19 show an uprise, this case highlights that IPF patients with relatively advanced age need to exercise extra caution because they are at high risk for developing overwhelming COVID-19-linked sepsis, which may be fatal.Posterior cord myelopathy and subacute combined…[Read more]

This study demonstrated that TMD patients have a higher risk of migraine. These results suggest that dentists can decrease the risk of migraine in TMD patients by managing TMD properly.

We utilized the National Trauma Data Bank® database to report practice patterns in managing blunt traumatic ureteral injuries and assess the consistency with current guidelines/literature.

Between 2007 and 2016 all National Trauma Data Bank database patients with blunt traumatic ureteral injuries were identified using ICD-9 and…[Read more]

The emerging virus is rampaging globally. A growing number of pediatric infected cases have been reported.Great efforts are needed to cut down the transmission.

A single-arm meta-analysis was conducted. We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and several Chinese databases for studies presenting characteristics of children…[Read more]

8%) vs. 63 (12%); p less then 0.001), dyspnea (18 (2.9%) vs. 16(3.0%); p=0.029), and ASA class ≥3 when compared to the group with normal preoperative labs. On a multivariable logistic regression, abnormal preoperative tests were not predictive of intra- or postoperative complications in patients with ASA ≤ 2 (n=1112) when adjusted for age and rac…[Read more]

Finally, simulated radial distribution functions are used to explore the evolution of the molecular-scale structure with increasing pressure. Subtle changes in the short-range real-space correlations are related to a collapse of the molecular conformations with increasing pressure, while the evolution of the static structure factor shows excellent…[Read more]

(odd ratios = 0.87, 95% CI 0.65-1.09).

Hypothyroidism may reduce the risk of breast cancer in the European population, and no significant correlation was observed between hypothyroidism and breast cancer risk in non-European populations. Due to the limited number of studies included, more large-scale, high-quality, long-term pro…[Read more]

More importantly, it improves the secretory activity of high-passaged dermal papilla cells and restores their intrinsic properties. Experiments using BALB/c nude mice show that cultured DP multicellular spheroids could effectively enhance HF-inducing ability. This novel system provides a simple and efficient strategy for multicellular spheroid…[Read more]
