Patient Characteristics and Clinical Outcomes with Low-Dose Dabigatran

BACKGROUND/AIMS Dabigatran, an oral direct thrombin inhibitor, is used in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation to reduce thromboembolic events. Whereas the 150 mg dosing regimen has been extensively studied in clinical setting, to date, there is no clinical data on the 75 mg (low dose, "LD") regimen. In this study, we evaluated patient characteristics and clinical outcomes in 49 patie...

Dose requirements in stereoradiography

Stereoscopic viewing of radiographic images is advantageous in reducing ambiguity due to background anatomic noise. This advantage is usually considered to be balanced by doubling the dose required for acquisition of a stereo image pair. In the case of a quantum-noise limited detector, detection theory suggests a possible decrease of the dose by half. We tested this assumption by a series of co...

The QDREC web server: determining dose-response characteristics of complex macroparasites in phenotypic drug screens

SUMMARY Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) caused by helminths constitute some of the most common infections of the world's poorest people. The etiological agents are complex and recalcitrant to standard techniques of molecular biology. Drug screening against helminths has often been phenotypic and typically involves manual description of drug effect and efficacy. A key challenge is to develop ...

Determining requirements for patient-centred care: a participatory concept mapping study

BACKGROUND Recognition of a need for patient-centred care is not new, however making patient-centred care a reality remains a challenge to organisations. We need empirical studies to extend current understandings, create new representations of the complexity of patient-centred care, and guide collective action toward patient-centred health care. To achieve these ends, the research aim was to em...
