A patient-specific study of type-B aortic dissection: evaluation of true-false lumen blood exchange

BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2013
Aortic dissection is a severe pathological condition in which blood penetrates between layers of the aortic wall and creates a duplicate channel – the false lumen. This considerable change on the aortic morphology alters hemodynamic features dramatically

Re‐Awakening Public Attention to the Silent Pandemic of Cancer Among Older Adults in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As global populations age, cancer is increasingly becoming a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among older adults, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Despite accounting for the majority of new cancer cases and deaths, older individuals remain underrepresented in cancer research, clinical guidelines, and health ...

STUDIO NUMERICO DELL'EMODINAMICA IN PAZIENTI CON DISSECAZIONE AORTICA DI TIPO B [PDF]

, 2013
The development of type B aortic dissection (AoD) is caused by altered haemodynamic forces exerted on false and true lumina of dissected aorta. This work aims to study haemodynamic and morphological proprieties, which influence the progression or ...

Copy Number Variants and Their Association With Intracerebral Hemorrhage Risk: A Case–Control Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and lacks effective therapeutic interventions. Despite previous studies, the genetic underpinnings of ICH remain poorly understood. We sought to investigate the role of copy number variants (CNVs) in ICH pathophysiology to identify novel ...

Risk factors associated with the false positive of cardiopulmonary exercise test in the diagnosis of coronary heart disease

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Purpose Cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is a common method for preliminary evaluating coronary heart disease (CHD), but it may experience false positive. The present study aimed to reveal the potential factors relating to the false positive of CPET,

Evaluating the Clinical Impact of Species-Level Identification in Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci Positive Blood Cultures

Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology
Background: Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are often considered contaminants when isolated from blood cultures. While criteria exist to distinguish true bacteremia from contamination (Table 1), clinical judgement is often necessary.

Prediction of Myasthenia Gravis Worsening: A Machine Learning Algorithm Using Wearables and Patient‐Reported Measures

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare disorder characterized by fluctuating muscle weakness with potential life‐threatening crises. Timely interventions may be delayed by limited access to care and fragmented documentation. Our objective was to develop predictive algorithms for MG deterioration using multimodal telemedicine data ...
