RATIONALE: Transitions to outpatient care are crucial after critical illness, but the documentation practices in discharge documents after critical illness are unknown.
PURPOSE: Given the paucity of available data concerning radiotherapy-induced urinary toxicity, it is important to ensure derivation of the most robust models with superior predictive performance. This work explores multiple statistical-learning strat...
OBJECTIVE: Purposes of this study were to compare intravenous (IV) and sternal intraosseous (SIO) administration of vasopressin relative to concentration maximum (Cmax), time to maximum concentration (Tmax), and mean concentration in a cardiac arrest...

PURPOSE: To increase the effectiveness of treating open-angle glaucoma (OAG), we tried to find a screening method of differentiating OAG from glaucoma suspect (GS) without a visual field (VF) test.
Our laboratories have recently developed a flow-through imaging photometer to characterize and classify fluorescent particles between 3 and 47 μm in size. The wide aperture of the objective lens (0.7 NA) required for measuring spectral fluorescence o...
