AIM OF DATABASE The aim of the Danish Anaesthesia Database (DAD) is the nationwide collection of data on all patients undergoing anesthesia. Collected data are used for quality assurance, quality development, and serve as a basis for research projects. STUDY POPULATION The DAD was founded in 2004 as a part of Danish Clinical Registries (Regionernes Kliniske Kvalitetsudviklings Program [RKKP])...

Of the alcohol-related risks faced by college students, it is arguable that none presents a greater public health hazard than driving after drinking (DAD). The present study examined the extent to which students' injunctive misperceptions toward DAD predicted the likelihood to engage in DAD and how this relation was mediated by self-approval of DAD. Participants were 2,848 college students (59....

Methods Anthocyanins from the prepared bilberry extract were analyzed using the HPLC-DAD system and were expressed as a standard of cyanidine-3-glucoside (mg/L). Experiments were carried out on the isolated hearts from Wistar rats of both sexes according to the Langendorff method. Postischemic myocardial injuries during reperfusion were determined by changes in coronary flow rate, lactate dehyd...

OBJECTIVE We investigated demographic influences on Korean version of Disability Assessment for Dementia (DAD-K) performance and developed normative data for DAD-K. METHODS The DAD-K was administered to 2362 normal controls (NCs), 296 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and 293 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). MANOVA and ROC curve analysis were used to compare DAD-K performan...

BACKGROUND The Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) has been implied to cause arrhythmias. To date, information on the role of NCX in arrhythmogenesis derived from models with increased NCX expression, hypertrophy, and heart failure. Furthermore, the exact mechanism by which NCX exerts its potentially proarrhythmic effect, ie, by promoting early afterdepolarization (EAD) or delayed afterdepolarization ...

gc-fid and hplc-dad were developed for determination of menadione (mn) and menadione sodium bisulphite (msb). by means of each method, quantitative analysis of msb in commercial pharmaceutical was performed in both direct analysis of msb and analysis of mn by converting msb to mn with sodium carbonate. gc-fid method was carried out on the hp-5 capillary column using nitrogen gas. hplc-dad metho...

RATIONALE A revised definition of clinical criteria for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), the Berlin definition, was recently established to classify patients according to their severity. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of these clinical criteria using diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) at autopsy as the reference standard. METHODS All patients who died and had a clinical autopsy in...

INTRODUCTION Patients with HIV infection are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to complex interactions between traditional CVD risk factors, antiretroviral therapy (ART) and HIV infection itself (1). Prevention of CVD is essential as it remains the most common serious non-AIDS event and contributes significantly to all-cause mortality. A cardiovascular risk-assess...
