Millions of children and adolescents each year are exposed to potentially traumatic events (PTEs), placing them at risk for posttraumatic stress (PTS) disorder symptoms. Medical providers play an important role in the identification and treatment of PTS, as they are typically the initial point of contact for families in the wake of a PTE or during a PTE if it is medically related (eg, injury/il...

The purpose of this prospective cohort study is to evaluate the importance of screening and its diagnostic accuracy compared with the pathological diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) with vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN).The prospective study enrolled 419 patients (pts) and was conducted between February 1, 2015 and January 31, 2016 at Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology...

Abstract Introduction Classic risk factors of atherosclerosis may contribute to cardiovascular (CV) in patients (pts) with pulmonary hypertension associated congenital heart disease (PAH-CHD), but their prevalence is poorly studied. Purpose We evaluated a large cohort Polish PAH-CHD (PAHpts) treated specific therapies regard classic for atherosclerosis. Methods A multicenter observational snaps...

3533 Background: Circulating angiogenic factors have been previously shown to be altered in patients (pts) with mCRC on bevacizumab (BV)-containing regimens. However, a systematic evaluation of alterations in levels of the VEGF family of ligands may provide insights into resistance mechanisms. METHODS 42 patients (pts) with mCRC were treated on a single arm phase II study with 5-FU, irinoteca...

BACKGROUND Predicting response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) remains a challenge. We evaluated the role of baseline QRS pattern to predict response in terms of improvement in biventricular ejection fraction (EF). METHODS Consecutive patients (pts) undergoing CRT implantation underwent radionuclide angiography at baseline and at mid-term follow-up. The relationship between baselin...

Despite strong evidence for an association between the experience of posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms and substance use, little is known about the particular individuals most at-risk for problematic substance use in response to PTS symptoms. Consequently, the goal of this study was to conduct a prospective investigation of the moderating role of emotion dysregulation (assessed through self-r...

OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a predictive score for clinical complications during intra-hospital transport of infants treated in neonatal units. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study nested in a prospective cohort of infants transported within a public university hospital from January 2001 to December 2008. Transports during even (n=301) and odd (n = 394) years were compared to develo...

BACKGROUND Postthrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a frequent chronic complication of deep venous thrombosis, yet its impact on health-related quality of life has not been well characterized. We compared generic and venous disease-specific quality of life in patients with and without PTS, and assessed whether quality of life correlated with severity of PTS. METHODS Subjects with previous deep venous...
