BACKGROUND: During the pandemic, computed tomography (CT) was one of most important tools for assessing COVID-19-related lung changes. In COVID-19 patients, radiologists in Moscow used adapted CT0-4 scale to visually assess dependence severity general condition on nature and radiological signs changes lungs based tomography. a large stream scans, doctor may miss findings make errors volume dama...

AIMS Digoxin is recommended for long-term rate control in paroxysmal, persistent, and permanent atrial fibrillation (AF). While some analyses suggest an association of digoxin with a higher mortality in AF, the intrinsic nature of this association has not been examined in propensity-matched cohorts, which is the objective of the current study. METHODS AND RESULTS In Atrial Fibrillation Follow...

BACKGROUND The cost-effectiveness acceptability curve (CEAC) is a method for summarizing the uncertainty in estimates of cost-effectiveness. The CEAC, derived from the joint distribution of costs and effects, illustrates the (Bayesian) probability that the data are consistent with a true cost-effectiveness ratio falling below a specified ceiling ratio. The objective of the paper is to illustrat...

Transcriptome sequencing using Illumina RNA-seq was performed on populations of black tiger shrimp from India. Samples were collected from (i) four landing centres around the east coastline (EC) of India, (ii) survivors of a severe WSSV infection during pond culture (SUR) and (iii) the Andaman Islands (AI) in the Bay of Bengal. Equal quantities of purified total RNA from homogenates of hepatopa...

Therapy of acute otitis media • Recommend adequate analgesia for all children with AOM [I, D*]. • Consider deferring antibiotic therapy for lower risk children with AOM [II, A*]. • When antibiotic therapy is deferred, facilitate patient access to antibiotics if symptoms worsen (e.g., a "back-up" prescription given at visit or a convenient system for subsequent call-in) [I, C*]. • Amoxicillin is...

BACKGROUND Diabetes and its associated complications are part of a chronic disease global epidemic that presents a public health challenge. Epidemiologists examining health differences between men and women are being challenged to recognise the biological and social constructions behind the terms 'sex' and/or 'gender', together with social epidemiology principles and the life course approach. T...

BACKGROUND Several clinical studies have indicated that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) administered in patients after acute ischemic stroke can improve clinical recovery independently of depression. Due to small sample sizes and heterogeneous study designs interpretability was limited in these studies. The mechanisms of action whereby SSRI might improve recovery from acute isch...
