We conducted a large retrospective study to investigate the confounding factors that predict Ce ROC under propofol-based TIVA with TCI. We recorded sex, age, height, weight, Ce LOC, Ce ROC, total propofol and fentanyl consumption dose, and anesthetic time. Simple linear regression models were used to identify potential predictors of Ce ROC, and multiple linear regression models were used to ide...

OBJECTIVES This review aims to establish the impact on conventional angiography and endovascular intervention of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) and contrast-enhanced computed tomography angiography (CE-CTA) on a background of evolving technology, changing clinical requirements and resulting clinical repercussions. METHODS The angiographic and interventional caseload...

background: reactive oxygen species (ros) have important role in the etiology and pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (ra). we investigated the effect of conjugated linoleic acids (clas) and vitamin e on lipid peroxidation. methods: in a randomized, double-blind placebo, controlled, clinical trial 87 patients with active ra were enrolled. they were divided into 4 groups, received one of the fo...

OBJECTIVES The objective was to evaluate the test characteristics of clinical examination (CE) with the addition of bedside emergency ultrasound (CE+EUS) compared to CE alone in determining skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) that require drainage in pediatric patients. METHODS This was a prospective study of CE+EUS as a diagnostic test for the evaluation of patients 2 months to 19 years ...

Background/Aims: Chronic endometritis (CE) is a poorly investigated pathology that has been related to adverse reproductive outcomes, such as implantation failure and recurrent miscarriage. In this paper we aim to provide an overview about diagnosis, etiology, pathophysiology and treatment of CE, its impact on endometrial microenvironment and how it may be associated with infertility. Methods: ...

Objective: Measurement of blood-brain permeability dysfunction in active and chronic MS lesions with T1-weighted dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI to show variation in inflammatory activity Background: blood-brain-barrier perfusion characterization impaired in MS as some studies have shown recently buta comparison between perfusion parameters in contrast-enhanced and non-enhanced lesions not have ...
