AIM Preliminary content validity testing of a UK Patient Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) for use in cardiac arrhythmia patients undergoing ablation treatment. METHODS Twenty five patients diagnosed with symptomatic cardiac arrhythmias participated in qualitative interviews to obtain their perspective of a draft PROM. As part of the process to establish preliminary content validity, patients w...

Objective The aim of this study was to assess the influence of premature rupture of membranes (PROM) on the induction of labor. Material and Method This historical cohort study analyzed 1861 inductions of labor at term using misoprostol which occurred between 2010 and 2015. Exclusion criteria included intrauterine fetal death, previous cesarean section, and fetal structural or chromosomal ano...

According to the multi-process theory of prospective memory (ProM), time-based tasks rely more heavily on strategic processes dependent on prefrontal systems than do event-based tasks. Given the prominent frontostriatal pathophysiology of HIV infection, one would expect HIV-infected individuals to demonstrate greater deficits in time-based versus event-based ProM. However, the two prior studies...

BACKGROUND Despite the high prevalence of premature rupture of membranes (PROM) in low-resource settings, the preferred mode of delivery remains unclear. We compared the perinatal mortality in a prospective cohort of women with PROM after 28 weeks following vaginal or caesarean delivery at Mulago Hospital with the aim of adopting evidence based practice and improving patient care. METHODS Bet...

A novel gene, prom-1, was isolated in a screen for Caenorhabditis elegans mutants with increased apoptosis in the germline. prom-1 encodes an F-box protein with limited homology to the putative human tumor suppressor FBXO47. Mutations in the prom-1 locus cause a strong reduction in bivalent formation, which results in increased embryonic lethality and a Him phenotype. Furthermore, retarded and ...

Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM) is defined as rupture of membranes prior to onset of labor. It can occur at any gestational week. PROM greater than 24 hours is referred as prolonged PROM and carries risk of ascending infection (1). PROM occurs in 8%-10% of all term pregnancies and in 2%-4% of all preterm singleton pregnancies (1,2). The most important maternal risk is intrauterine infecti...

[Purpose] This study investigated the reliability of ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion (DF-PROM) measurements obtained using a goniometer and Biodex dynamometer in stroke patients. [Subjects] Fifteen stroke patients participated in this study. [Methods] Ankle DF-PROM was assessed using a goniometer and Biodex dynamometer. Ankle DF-PROM was measured during two sessions with 7 days betwe...

Premature rupture of the membranes (PROM), defined as rupture of the chorioamniotic membranes before the onset of labor, is a very common clinical problem in human pregnancy. In clinical obstetric terminology, PROM is defined as rupture of the membranes at term (within 3 weeks of the Estimated Date of Confinement, or due date). The reported incidence of PROM in term pregnancy is 8–10%. Approxim...
