Inflammatory markers modify the risk of recurrent coronary events associated with apolipoprotein A-I in postinfarction patients.

Journal of clinical lipidology
BACKGROUND: Laboratory findings have suggested that systemic and vascular inflammation can impair the antiatherogenic function of high-density lipoproteins (HDLs). However, evidence from population studies is sparse.

How Much Does the Anatomical Tibial Component Improve the Bony Coverage in Total Knee Arthroplasty?

The Journal of arthroplasty
BACKGROUND: Recently, anatomical designs in total knee arthroplasty are introduced to address asymmetry of the resected tibia cutting surface. It is still not well known how much improvement would be achieved in total knee arthroplasty, especially in...

Bone Wax Is Effective in Reducing Blood Loss After Total Knee Arthroplasty.

The Journal of arthroplasty
BACKGROUND: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with major blood loss and blood transfusion is often required. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of bone wax in reducing blood loss and transfusion rates after TKA.

The correlation between pulse diagnosis and constitution identification in traditional Chinese medicine.

Complementary therapies in medicine
OBJECTIVES: Our study aimed to correlate pulse wave parameters such as augmentation index (AI) and heart rate variability with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution for evaluating health status.

Motivation, expectations, and usability of a driven gait orthosis in stroke patients and their therapists.

Topics in stroke rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: In the development of efficacious driven gait orthoses (DGO), it is an added value to consider patients' and therapists' perspectives concerning robot-assisted gait training (RAGT). A better understanding of these issues may improve the p...

Effectiveness of endurance exercise training in patients with coronary artery disease: A meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

European journal of cardiovascular nursing
BACKGROUND: Exercise interventions apparently reduce the risks of and prevent coronary artery disease (CAD). Developing an exercise intervention for patients with CAD is a rapidly expanding focus worldwide. The results of previous studies are inconsi...

The safety and efficacy of full- versus reduced-dose betrixaban in the Acute Medically Ill VTE (Venous Thromboembolism) Prevention With Extended-Duration Betrixaban (APEX) trial.

American heart journal
BACKGROUND: The APEX trial assessed the safety and efficacy of extended-duration thromboprophylaxis using betrixaban versus standard dosing of enoxaparin among hospitalized, acutely ill medical patients. The 80-mg betrixaban dose was halved to 40 mg ...

Rey's Auditory Verbal Learning Test scores can be predicted from whole brain MRI in Alzheimer's disease.

NeuroImage. Clinical
Rey's Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) is a powerful neuropsychological tool for testing episodic memory, which is widely used for the cognitive assessment in dementia and pre-dementia conditions. Several studies have shown that an impairment in...

Application of Machine Learning in Postural Control Kinematics for the Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
The use of wearable devices to study gait and postural control is a growing field on neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this paper, we investigate if machine-learning classifiers offer the discriminative power for the di...
