Efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy‐based smartphone app for smoking cessation in China: A randomized controlled trial

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Smoking is the leading preventable cause of premature death in China, yet less than 10% of smokers seeking to quit receive treatment. This study aimed to test the efficacy of a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)‐based smoking cessation intervention (‘Smokefree Life’) via a smartphone app in China. Design A digital, parallel,

Evaluation of the Urine Dipstick Analysis for Detection of Bacteriuria

Siriraj Medical Journal, 2020
This retrospective study was performed to evaluate the urine dipstick (leukocyte esterase and nitrite test) for detection of bacteriuria and pyuria. Of the 1,000 specimens, 296 (29.6%) had positive culture results. The dipstick (either leukocyte esterase

Dorsal Genital Nerve Stimulation as an Adjunctive Therapy to Control Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity After Spinal Cord Injury

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
People with spinal cord injury (SCI) experience bladder overactivity, which can cause incontinence. Dorsal genital nerve stimulation (DGNS) can suppress overactivity, providing a longer duration to reach a toilet. People with SCI trialed home‐based DGNS for 8 weeks. DGNS was effective in the laboratory, and participants found home‐based DGNS acceptable.

Urine dipstick test for diagnosing urinary tract infection

, 2013
Background Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common disease in children. Approximately 3-5% of girls and 1 % of boys develop a UTI. In children, prompt treatment is essential because UTI may be a risk factor for developing renal insufficiency or end ...

The utility of combined urine dipstick analysis and specific gravity measurement to determine feline proteinuria.

Journal of Small Animal Practice, 2020
OBJECTIVES To assess the utility of urine dipstick strips for detection of feline proteinuria when used in combination with urine-specific gravity, compared with urine protein-to-creatinine ratio as the gold standard.

Measuring Direct Oral Anticoagulant (DOAC) Levels: Applications, Limitations, and Future Directions

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction There are important challenges with the measurement and interpretation of direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) anticoagulant effect including a lack of therapeutic ranges, inaccuracy of routinely available coagulation assays, lack of established thresholds for clinically significant effect, and uncertainty about how to apply the ...

Evaluation of the difference between mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration and mean cellular haemoglobin concentration in canine complete blood count assessed with an automated haematology analyser

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives The study aimed (a) to establish the reference interval for Δmean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration‐mean cellular haemoglobin concentration in healthy dogs by ADVIA 2120 haematology analyser, (b) to identify the causes of increased Δmean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration‐mean cellular haemoglobin concentration in both healthy and ...

Investigation of association between serum C‐reactive protein concentrations and proteinuria in dogs

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives Identify if serum C‐reactive protein concentrations and specific diseases are associated with proteinuria (defined as urine protein:creatinine ratio >0.2) in dogs without known pathological pre‐renal, renal or post‐renal causes. Materials and Methods Hypothesis generating retrospective study.

Faecal microbiome, gastrointestinal integrity, inflammation and thermoregulation in recent exertional heat illness patients and matched controls

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota and GI barrier integrity are hypothesised to contribute to exertional heat illness (EHI) aetiology. We compared the faecal microbiome, GI barrier integrity, inflammation and thermoregulation of 29 recent (∼4 months) EHI patients (a group with elevated EHI risk) and 29 control individuals without prior EHI ...
