BACKGROUND Patients who leave hospital against medical advice (AMA) may be at risk of adverse health outcomes and readmission. In this study we examined rates of readmission and predictors of readmission among patients leaving hospital AMA. METHODS We prospectively studied 97 consecutive patients who left the general medicine service of an urban teaching hospital AMA. Each patient was matched...

mercury and selenium concentrations were analyzed in the muscle and liver of milk shark (a dominant shark species in the persian gulf) from the coast of bandar abbas. a research project was designed to compare the level of accumulation hg and its interaction with se in milk shark. hg concentration for each sample was determined by an advanced mercury analyzer (leco, ama 254) and se was assayed ...

The apical membrane antigen (AMA-1) family of malaria merozoite proteins is characterised by a high degree of inter-species conservation. Evidence that the protein (PK66/AMA-1) from the simian parasite Plasmodium knowlesi was protective in rhesus monkeys suggested that the 83kDa P. falciparum equivalent (PF83/AMA-1) should be investigated for protective effects in humans. Here we briefly review...

Human antimalignin antibody (AMA) appears to have clinical significance because in actuarial studies its concentration relates quantitatively to survival (Bogoch et al. Protides Biol Fluids 1984; 31:739-747). Therefore isolation, characterization, and production in vitro of AMA were undertaken. Serum AMA concentrations are elevated in cancer, regardless of cell type, as demonstrated by earlier ...

Antimycin A (AMA) inhibits succinate oxidase and the mitochondrial electron transport chain between cytochrome b and c. Here, we report on the effects of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors on AMA-treated calf pulmonary artery endothelial cells (CPAEC) in relation to cell death, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutathione (GSH). AMA inhibited the growth of CPAEC and also induce...

The paper describes the effect of amantadine (AMA) supplementation on imipramine (IMI) therapy in patients (with treatment-resistant unipolar depression) who fulfilled DSM IV criteria for major depression. Twelve patients were enrolled to the study on the basis of history of their illness and therapy. Following 2 weeks of washout period, the patients were treated with IMI twice daily (100-150 m...

BACKGROUND Some reports indicate financial concerns as a factor affecting ED patients leaving the acute care setting against medical advice (AMA). In India, no person is supposed to be denied urgent care because of inability to pay. Since a large proportion of the Indian health care system is financed by out-of-pocket expenses, we investigate the role of financial constraints for ED patients at...

Mesothelin is a tumor differentiation antigen expressed by epithelial tumors, including pancreatic cancer. Currently, mesothelin is being targeted with an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) consisting of a mesothelin-specific antibody coupled to a highly potent chemotherapeutic drug. Considering the toxicity of the ADC and reduced accessibility of pancreatic tumors, non-invasive imaging could provid...
