BACKGROUND Overhead sports place the greatest strain on the elbow of any of the upper extremity joints. Unfortunately, athlete-specific functional outcome tools do not exist for the elbow. HYPOTHESES THE ELBOW DEMAND RATING SCALE (EDS) WILL DEMONSTRATE STRONG RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY PROPERTIES: (1) test-retest reliability with a 2-week EDS administration, (2) internal reliability of the subs...

Systematic Literature Reviews and Systematic Mapping Studies are relatively new forms of secondary studies in software engineering. Identifying relevant papers from various Electronic Data Sources (EDS) is one of the key activities of conducting these kinds of studies. Hence, the selection of EDS for searching the potentially relevant papers is an important decision, which can affect a study’s ...

BACKGROUND Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and fatigue are common symptoms after traumatic brain injury (TBI), but there is no specific treatment for affected patients. With this pilot study, we aimed at studying the effect of daily modafinil on posttraumatic EDS and fatigue.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS, ORPHA98249) comprises a group of clinically and genetically heterogeneous heritable connective tissue disorders, chiefly characterized by joint hypermobility and instability, skin texture anomalies, and vascular and soft tissue fragility. As many tissues can be involved, the underlying molecular defect can manifest itself in many organs and with varying degrees of s...

BACKGROUND Yoga is a popular adjunct therapy for eating disorders (EDs). A systematic review and synthesis of the yoga literature is needed to guide treatment recommendations and future research. This article provides a review of studies that used yoga for preventing and treating EDs. METHOD Databases were searched for peer-reviewed articles about yoga practice and ED symptoms and correlates....

Sir, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a rare connective tissue disease manifested clinically as joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, poor wound healing with abnormal scarring and bruising due to blood vessel fragility (1). The diagnosis of EDS is based on a scoring system that requires a time-consuming examination (2, 3). Recently attempts have been made to find additional minor criteri...

Résumé : Un des obstacles principaux à l'intégration de sources de données est l’hétérogénéité des schémas des sources et en particulier la disparité des éléments de données (EDs) associés. Dans ce cadre, nous proposons des approches visant à intégrer les EDs de onze sources biomédicales. Tout d'abord, au niveau schéma, nous cherchons à mettre en correspondance les EDs avec des concepts d'une r...

OBJECTIVES To identify common risk types occurring in emergency departments (EDs). To compare the risks occurring between different emergency departments. DESIGN Application of a typology of risks to a database of critical incidents. Comparison of results of applying typology to group of critical incidents collected in a uniform manner in four different EDs. SETTING EDs in two teaching hosp...

OBJECTIVES Subjective sleep complaints have been reported in up to 80% of patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). In these patients, sleep disturbances manifesting as insomnia, sleep apnea syndrome, restless leg syndrome (RLS), periodic limb movement disorder and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) have been frequently reported. Moreover, studies about the role of dialysis shift on sleep a...
