Abstract:

Tea consumption has been suggested to have beneficial effects for human health, especially in cancer prevention. At present, epidemiological evidence of the protective effect of tea consumption against the development of human cancer is not conclusive. Interpretation of epidemiological data and extrapolation of rodent data to humans are generally hampered by inadequate information on the bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of tea constituents. We have performed studies to determine the pharmacokinetics of green tea in humans after single and multiple oral dose administration of tea polyphenol

Abstract:

The present study surveyed occupational therapy clinical supervisors working in a number of university affiliated hospitals in the Montreal area, via a mail questionnaire. Therapists were first asked to rate the importance of behaviours in facilitating student learning during clinical instruction. Then they were asked to report their attendance at continuing education courses on clinical instruction. The relationship between attendance at these courses, number of years of clinical experience and rating of behaviours was investigated. Therapists with few years of clinical experience had a low r

Abstract:

Retiring baby boomers and the lack of interest and awareness among college students to enroll in an accredited Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS) program have created a shortage of CLS professionals in the 21st century. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts 18,000 CLS vacancies by 2018. However, only about 5,000 students graduate from accredited CLS programs each year. The purpose of this study was to explore students' perceptions of allied health professions and factors that influenced students and CLS professionals to select CLS as a profession.

Abstract:

<p> There has been vast and growing amount of healthcare data especially with the rapid adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) as a result of the HITECH act of 2009. It is estimated that around 80% of the clinical information resides in the unstructured narrative of an EHR. Recently, natural language processing (NLP) techniques have offered opportunities to extract information from unstructured clinical texts needed for various clinical applications. A popular method for enabling secondary uses of EHRs is information or concept extraction, a subtask of NLP that seeks to locate and classi

Thrombosis is a vascular pathological process which frequently affects the veins of the lower limbs, and embolisation of thrombotic material is common. Thromboembolic disease is a common cause of death in Western societies, predominantly affecting the elderly. Numerous risk factors and co-morbidities have been identified. Safe and effective means of prophylaxis are available but are underutilised. Anticoagulant drugs are very effective in preventing thromboembolic disease, but their effects on the evolution of the thrombotic process remain poorly documented. These drugs are difficult to use

Ideas have long been recognized as the engine of creativity. By focusing on the capture of ideas from the scientific literature, idea analysis procedures enable the arrangement of the information into forms consistent with those developed by subject specialists. The most obvious example is the concept structure. Ideas containing a common frequently occurring term/phrase can be depicted as a primary node in the concept

The unusually high prevalence of mono-PZA-R disease and its associated mutational profile in Quebec provided an exceptional opportunity to study the epidemiologic and clinical significance of mono-PZA-resistance in patients with active TB.

Abstract:

The effectiveness of treatments for degenerative spine conditions, where the primary symptom is back pain, is typically determined using patient-reported quality of life (QoL) measures. However, patients may adjust their internal standards when scoring QoL based on factors other than their health. This response shift phenomenon could confound the interpretation of study data and impact effectiveness conclusions. In the current study, response shift was examined using structural equation modeling (SEM) and previously collected clinical trial data comparing 2 minimally invasive medical devices i

Abstract:

Patients with lower limbs problems are an increasing population in the US and many of them require surgery and its subsequent post-op Physical Therapy (PT). For all these patients, tracking their progress and evolution towards full recovery is very important. To assess the patients and track their progress, patients are usually required to perform very specific tests administered by a physical therapist. These tests either require very expensive equipment or rather require the subjective experience of the physical therapist who administer them. One of these tests is the Functional Gait Assessm

Abstract:

Introduction: Sepsis is a leading cause of death in critically ill patients. Conventional methods of diagnostics in patients with suspected sepsis have limited sensitivity and long turnaround times. These factors contribute to indiscriminate use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and antimicrobial resistance. Our goal was to investigate where direct molecular analysis of circulating cell-free DNA in plasma could identify the microbial etiology of sepsis and improve assessment of prognosis. Methods: We conducted a prospective study of 30 consecutive patients suspected of sepsis in the Surgical Traum

Abstract:

Sudden unexpected death in the young (SUDY) is the tragic fatality of seemingly healthy individuals aged between one and 40 years. Little is known about the demographics and risk factors of these cases at Salt River Mortuary (SRM), Cape Town. Therefore, this project aimed to retrospectively investigate the burden and profile of SUDY cases admitted to SRM, between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2018. Of the total 11 588 cases admitted over this period, 833 (7.2 %) were SUDY cases, wherein males comprised the majority (64.3 %). Individuals were a median age of 31 ± 10.3 years at death, and the m

Abstract:

Background: Pregnancy at advanced maternal age (AMA) is associated with an increased risk of aneuploidy. In the Western Cape's public health sector maternal age alone is widely used to screen women for high risk of pregnancies affected by aneuploidy. The weekly pregnancy counselling clinic (PCC) at Groote Schuur Hospital (GSH) offers genetic counselling (GC) for women who are of AMA to inform them about their age-related aneuploidy risk, offer invasive diagnostic testing (IDT) and discuss the option of voluntary termination of an affected pregnancy. A recent audit at GSH showed that the uptake

Abstract:

Southern Africa is disproportionately affected by HIV-1, with Botswana being among the most affected countries. The interindividual heterogeneity in susceptibility or resistance to HIV-1 and progression upon infection is attributable to, among other factors, host genetic variation. Characterisation of human genetic variations can contribute towards understanding the genetic aetiology of HIV-1 and foster development of novel preventive and treatment strategies against HIV-1. Despite the high burden of HIV-1 in Botswana, the population of Botswana is significantly underrepresentation in genomics

Abstract:

The sheer quantity of information available on the Internet poses a challenge to users who need an efficient way of finding the information most relevant to their needs. One of the most frequent information-seeking activities of Internet users is the search for health and medical information. In this research, I focus on the user process of seeking information on clinical trials which are the only evidence-based source of information in the medical domain. Through my work, I show that improvements for seeking clinical-trial information could be made to enhance the effectiveness of seeking a

Introdução: Farmacobezoares são um tipo específico de bezoar que se forma quando medicamentos, como comprimidos, suspensões e/ou sistemas de libertação de fármacos se agregam, e podem causar a morte através da oclusão das vias aéreas com material tenaz ou através da eluição dos fármacos resultando em concentrações sanguíneas letais ou tóxicas. Objetivo: Este trabalho pretende fazer uma revisão completa do estado da arte em relação à patofisiologia, diagnóstico, tratamento e outros aspetos relevantes clínicos e forenses dos farmacobezoares.
