PURPOSE To evaluate our hospital protocol of low-dose vitamin K titration for preoperative warfarin reversal for early hip fracture surgery. METHODS Records of 16 men and 33 women aged 63 to 93 (mean, 81) years who were taking warfarin for atrial fibrillation (n=40), venous thromboembolism (n=9), cerebrovascular accident (n=3), and prosthetic heart valve (n=3) and underwent surgery for hip fr...

The expression of selected microRNAs (miRNAs) known to be involved in the regulation of immune responses was analyzed in 74 patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and 32 healthy controls. Four miRNAs (miR-326, miR-155, miR-146a, miR-142-3p) were aberrantly expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from RRMS patients compared to controls. Although expression of these s...

Introduction: Learners rely on dermatology electives to supplement their education. Our goal is determine whether adequately address the rotators’ learning objectives. Methods: A survey was distributed medical students and residents a elective assess specific objectives rotation satisfaction. Results: The had 50% response rate (n=36). 74.2% of respondents were (n=23) 25.8% (n=8). 57.1% all rota...

In the phospho-ric triamide mol-ecule of the title compound, C(6)H(14)N(+)·C(2)H(3)O(2) (-)·C(18)H(36)N(3)OP, the P atom displays a distorted tetra-hedral geometry and the cyclo-hexyl rings adopt chair conformations with the NH groups in equatorial positions. In the crystal, the cations, anions and phosphoric triamide mol-ecules are linked via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional array p...

OBJECTIVE To assess the neurodevelopmental, cognitive and behavioral function of extremely low birth weight babies (ELBW) till corrected age of two years. METHODS 79 ELBW babies were enrolled and followed at 1 year (n=50), 18 months (n=47) and 2 years (n=36). Adverse composite outcome was defined as death or moderate-to-severe neurodevelopmental impairment (defined as either cerebral palsy or...

UNLABELLED The interest in using titanium to fabricate removable partial denture (RPD) frameworks has increased, but there are few studies evaluating the effects of casting methods on clasp behavior. OBJECTIVE This study compared the occurrence of porosities and the retentive force of commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) and cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) removable partial denture circumferential clas...
