Modified R-GLIM Score Is a Good Prognostic Tool to Predict a Long-Term Prognosis in Poor Conditioned Elderly Patients with Aspiration Pneumonia, a Pilot Study

Geriatrics
Background. While prognostic guidelines for pneumonia have widely allowed clinicians to treat patients, poor prognostic factors for 1- or 2-year survival times have never been mentioned to our knowledge. Patients and methods.

Thread-Traction with a Sheath of Polypectomy Snare Facilitates Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection of Early Gastric Cancers

Gastroenterology Research and Practice, 2016
Although the thread-traction (TT) method has been found useful during endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancers, the movement of the thread interferes with the movement of the endoscope, and the lesion can only be pulled to the ...

Days of Antibiotic Spectrum Coverage (DASC) as a Metric for Evaluating the Impact of Prospective Audit and Feedback (PAF) against Long-Term Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic Use

Antibiotics
The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of prospective audit and feedback (PAF) on the use of inpatient broad-spectrum antibiotics for more than 10 days using days of therapy (DOT) and a novel metric called days of antibiotic spectrum coverage ...

Mid-infrared emission from dust around quiescent low-mass X-ray binaries [PDF]

, 2006
We report the discovery of excess 4.5 and 8 μm emission from three quiescent black hole low-mass X-ray binaries, A0620−00, GS 2023+338, and XTE J1118+480, and the lack of similar excess emission from Cen X-4.

The MCPH7 Gene Product STIL Is Essential for Dendritic Spine Formation

Cells
Dendritic spine formation/maintenance is highly dependent on actin cytoskeletal dynamics, which is regulated by small GTPases Rac1 and Cdc42 through their downstream p21-activated kinase/LIM-kinase-I/cofilin pathway.
