Assessment of retention force and bone apposition in two differently coated femoral stems after 6 months of loading in a goat model
(BioMed Central, 2014-08-16)
Background: Since the introduction of uncemented hip implants, there has been a search for the best surface
coating to enhance bone apposition in order to improve retention. The surface coating of the different stems ...
Transfusion requirements in septic shock (TRISS) trial - comparing the effects and safety of liberal versus restrictive red blood cell transfusion in septic shock patients in the ICU: protocol for a randomised controlled trial
(BioMed Central, 2013-05-23)
Background:
Transfusion of red blood cells (RBC) is recommended in septic shock and the majority of these
patients receive RBC transfusion in the intensive care unit (ICU). However, benefit and harm of RBCs have not ...
Stroke volume variation to guide fluid therapy: is it suitable for high-risk surgical patients? A terminated randomized controlled trial
(BioMed Central, 2015-07-22)
Background: Perioperative goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) may improve outcome after high-risk surgery. Minimal invasive measurement of stroke volume variation (SVV) has been recommended to guide fluid therapy. We intended ...
Survival in Norwegian BRCA1 mutation carriers with breast cancer
(BioMed Central, 2009-04-14)
Several studies of survival in women with BRCA1 mutations have shown either reduced survival or
no difference compared to controls. Programmes for early detection and treatment of inherited
breast cancer, have failed to ...
Paraneoplastic CDR2 and CDR2L antibodies affect Purkinje cell calcium homeostasis
(Springer, 2014-12)
Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) is characterized by loss of Purkinje cells (PCs) associated with progressive pancerebellar dysfunction in the presence of onconeural Yo antibodies. These antibodies recognize ...
The cannabis pathway to non-affective psychosis may reflect less neurobiological vulnerability
(Frontiers, 2014-11-18)
There is a high prevalence of cannabis use reported in non-affective psychosis. Early prospective longitudinal studies conclude that cannabis use is a risk factor for psychosis, and neurochemical studies on cannabis have ...
Adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is associated with asthma
(BioMed Central, 2011-08-07)
Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is increasingly recognized as a common disorder not
only in children, but also in the adult population. Similarly, asthma also has a substantial prevalence among ...
Prognostic value of bone marrow involvement by clonal immunoglobulin gene rearrangements in follicular lymphoma
(BMJ, 2014-09-18)
Aims: We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of routine use of PCR amplification of immunoglobulin gene rearrangements in bone marrow (BM) staging in patients with follicular lymphoma (FL).
Methods: Clonal rearrangements ...
Cognitive changes in patients with acute phase psychosis - Effects of illicit drug use
(Elsevier, 2014-12)
Illicit drug use may influence cognition in non-affective psychosis. Previous studies have shown better cognition in psychosis with illicit drug use as compared to psychosis only. Possibly, illicit drug using patients have ...
A Porcine Pneumothorax Model for Teaching Ultrasound Diagnostics
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-05)
Objectives: Ultrasound (US) is a sensitive diagnostic tool for detecting pneumothorax (PTX), but methods
are needed to optimally teach this technique outside of direct patient care. In training and research
settings, ...
