Sex Differences in the Association Between Frailty and Sarcopenia in Patients With Cirrhosis. [PDF]

, 2019
ObjectivesFrailty is prevalent in patients with cirrhosis and is hypothesized to result in part from sarcopenia, but the precise contribution of sarcopenia to frailty in this population is poorly understood.MethodsIncluded were patients with cirrhosis ...

Noninvasive assessment of inspiratory muscle neuromechanical coupling during inspiratory threshold loading [PDF]

, 2019
Diaphragm neuromechanical coupling (NMC), which reflects the efficiency of conversion of neural activation to transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi), is increasingly recognized to be a useful clinical index of diaphragm function and respiratory mechanics in ...

Non-specific abdominal pain and air pollution: a novel association. [PDF]

, 2012
We studied whether short-term exposure to air pollution was associated with non-specific abdominal pain in epidemiologic and animal studies. Patients visiting the emergency department with non-specific abdominal pain were identified in Edmonton (1992 to

A case report of a rare intramuscular granular cell tumor [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Granular cell tumors (GCTs) were firstly described by Weber in 1854 and 70 years later by Abrikossoff and classified as benign tumors. Originally considered muscle tumors, they have been identified as neural lesions, due to their close ...
