Objectives: To evaluate whether reduced heart rate variability (HRV), prolonged QTc interval, or increased QT dispersion (QTD) are predictors of mortality in the general diabetic and nondiabetic… (More)
INTRODUCTION
In a 24-hour porcine model of liver injury, we showed that fibrinogen supplementation does not downregulate endogenous fibrinogen synthesis. Here we report data from the same study… (More)
Both cardiac autonomic dysfunction adn cardiovascular risk factors are related to and excess risk of mortality. We sought to determine whether the major cardiovascular risk factors are associated… (More)
BACKGROUND
The potential clinical benefits of targeted therapy with coagulation factor concentrates (e.g., fibrinogen) and antifibrinolytic agents (e.g., tranexamic acid [TXA]) for the treatment of… (More)
BACKGROUND
Fibrinogen concentrate may reduce blood loss after trauma. However, its effect on endogenous fibrinogen synthesis is unknown. The authors investigated the effect of exogenous human… (More)
Significant advancements in nonsurgical and surgical approaches to control bleeding in severely injured patients have also improved the treatment of critical trauma-related coagulopathy. Nonsurgical… (More)
BACKGROUND
Rapid control of hemorrhage is one of the key aspects in trauma handling. To cope with bleeding, local hemostatic approaches are useful, along with surgical and systemic homostatic… (More)
Materials and Methods. Three medical students independently performed five manual segmentations of a biopsy-proven renal cell carcinoma that was treated with percutaneous MRI-guided cryotherapy.… (More)
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES
Accurate and reproducible segmentations of two-dimensional images are an important prerequisite for assessing tumor ablations three dimensionally (3D). We evaluated whether… (More)
