Transforming Rapid Transfusion in Hemorrhagic Shock - Case Study
As an emergency physician, I routinely have to make quick decisions that can impact the direction and quality of care for my patients. With the current high nursing turnover and short-staffing on many shifts, these decisions are even more important, as they can also positively or negatively impact provider stress and patient flow. Streamlined care for critical patients is extremely helpful to ...

Raman ‘optical biopsy’ of human breast cancer
Abstract Raman imaging (RI) is a novel method of medical diagnostics of human breast cancer and has a potential to become a routine optical biopsy. Up to date the present study is the most statistically reliable Raman analysis based on data of normal, benign, and cancerous breast tissues for 146 patients. This paper present the first Raman ‘optical biopsy’ images of the normal and ...

The 3rd AIDS patient is "cured"! Has mankind finally conquered AIDS?
At an academic conference on Feb 15, U.S. experts announced the world's first female AIDS "cure," making it the third case of HIV infection to be cured. After therapy and withdrawal of antiviral drugs, HIVs were not identified in the patient's body for more than 14 months, indicating that the virus was in complete remission, according to academics. The key to this patient's recovery was a blood ...

Relevance of motor complications in Parkinson`s disease
Abstract Although patients with Parkinson's disease usually respond to dopaminergic therapy with a smooth, continued effect when medication is first initiated, many patients eventually develop a fluctuating response along with involuntary movements (dyskinesias). The fluctuations in motor response often result in patients requiring more frequent dosing of medication that is less convenient, ...

Implantation of an Artificial Endothelial Layer for Treatment of Chronic Corneal Edema
Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe a novel device that may serve as an alternative to Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) for the treatment of chronic corneal edema. Methods: The EndoArt (EyeYon Medical, Israel) is a flexible, 50-μm thin artificial endothelial layer that matches the cornea’s posterior curvature and functions as a fluid barrier ...

Colon Myoelectric Activity Measured After Open Abdominal Surgery with a Noninvasive Wireless Patch System Predicts Time to First Flatus
Abstract Background: Passage of flatus after abdominal surgery signals resolution of physiological postoperative ileus (POI) and often, particularly after complex open surgeries, serves as the trigger to initiate oral feeding. To date, there is no objective tool that can predict time to flatus allowing for timely feeding and optimizing recovery. In an open, prospective study, we examine ...

Comparing phase and electrographic flow mapping for persistent atrial fibrillation
Background: An increasing number of methods are being used to map atrial fibrillation (AF), yet the sensitivity of identifying potential localized AF sources of these novel methods are unclear. Here, we report a comparison of two approaches to map AF based upon (1) electrographic flow mapping and (2) phase mapping in a multicenter registry of patients in whom ablation terminated persistent ...

Science: A protein-protein interaction map of breast cancer constructed
Advances in DNA sequencing technology have made it possible to extensively analyze the breast tumor genome and construct a catalog of gene mutations that may initiate or drive tumor progression. In addition to the well-known common mutations in oncogenes (such as TP53 and PIK3CA), breast cancer also contains a variety of rare mutations that have a low incidence in the patient population. Despite ...

Noninvasive Cardiac Event Monitoring to Detect Atrial Fibrillation After Ischemic Stroke, A Randomized, Controlled Trial
Background and Purpose - Atrial fibrillation (AF) elevates risk of recurrent stroke but is incompletely identified by standard investigation after stroke, though detection rates correlate with monitoring duration. We hypothesized that 7 days of noninvasive cardiac-event monitoring early after stroke would accelerate detection of AF and thus uptake of effective therapy. Methods - We ...

Cutaneous Patches to Monitor Myoelectric Activity of the Gastrointestinal Tract in Postoperative Pediatric Patients
Abstract Purpose: Limited means exist to assess gastrointestinal activity in pediatric patients postoperatively. Recently, myoelectric gastrointestinal activity recorded by cutaneous patches has been shown in adult patients to be predictive of clinical return of gastrointestinal function postoperatively. The aim of this case series is to demonstrate the feasibility of this system in ...

How to reduce diagnostic errors through patient engagement
As patients, we like to think diagnostic errors are rare, but the reality is they are fairly common. According to a recent Medscape poll, one in six physicians reported making diagnostic errors daily. Aside from the ongoing risk to patient health and safety, diagnostic errors also pose a considerable financial threat, with one study suggesting they cost the U.S. economy $750 billion each ...
