Intubation is a traumatism for laryngeal mucous membrane. Due to local inflammatory reaction, laryngeal edema occurs in nearly all intubated patients, but only some of them develop clinical symptoms, as post-extubation stridor or acute respiratory distress. Stridor is commonly defined
In pregnant women with suspected DVT, a sure diagnosis is mandatory. Indeed, false positive tests lead to inappropriate anticoagulant treatment, which increases the risk of bleeding. Conversely, false negative tests might lead to a life-threatening thromboembolic event. Thus, accuracy of diagnostic
INTRODUCTION Endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation are lifesaving interventions. However, as with acute interventions, can be associated with serious complications. One such complication is laryngeal edema (LE) that occurs in 4-55% of patients. LE is thought to be caused by marked

Evidence from initial analysis of 5 SNPs in the one-carbon metabolism pathway suggests that one-carbon pathway genes may predict risk of ocular changes and possible vision impairment during and after long-duration space flight. It is not precisely known whether it is these particular genes, or a
The PET radiotracer FET provides a measure of large, neutral amino acid transport. This transport is significantly upregulated in malignant brain tumors. FET rarely gives false positive findings in the setting of inflammation seen after high dose chemotherapy or radiotherapy. FET labels low-grade as
Aim To study the dose to the target and OARs with SIB-IMRT in patients with breast cancer.
Objectives: To study
1. Dose distribution, target coverage and dose homogeneity in the diseased breast.
2. Dose to the OARs.
3. Acute toxicities.
4. Cosmetic outcome. Materials and methods Patients: Total 27
1. Patient selection and enrollment. Participants will be recruited into the study from subjects admitted for acute inpatient rehabilitation in the North Texas Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems (NT-TBIMS) affiliated rehabilitation units. Our goal is to enroll participants who have the potential
In the treatment arm, the PEMF would be automatically delivered for 15 minutes every two hours for one month. The manufacturer (Ivivi Technologies, Inc., Northvale, NJ) has already designed a lightweight, disposable device that can be placed around the patient's arm and taped in place. The patient
Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the sixth leading incident cancer worldwide with 600,000 cases expected in 2012.1 The vast majority of cases are head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), comprising > 90% of histologies. Despite advances in multimodality therapy for HNSCC, 5-year overall survival
Conservative Management with Isolated Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Vulvar Cancer Patients with Sentinel Lymph Nodes Determined to be Negative for Metastatic Disease.
Introduction The American Cancer Society estimates there will be 4000 new cases of vulvar cancer for the year 2003(1). The majority
Research design This study is a double blind randomized clinical trial to determine differences in wave amplitude P50 and N95 on pattern ERG examination, visual field defects (LP) with Humphrey HFA (Humphrey Field Analyzer) II-i 750, 24-2 threshold and ganglion cell thickness with OCT CirrusTM
Methods:
Approximately 30 subjects will be randomized to either the Lactated Ringer's group or the Placebo group. The study is powered to detect a difference of 0.3mmol/L between pre- and post-treatment lactate levels. All subjects are healthy volunteers over 18 years old. Healthy volunteers are
Purpose of the Study:
The purpose of this of open-label randomized clinical trial is to compare clonidine patch (Catapres-TTS®) and orally administered methyldopa (Aldomet®) over a 4-week period for compliance in pregnant women between 14 and 28 weeks of gestation. In addition, this study will
