INTRODUCTION Major blood loss can often be life-threatening and is most commonly encountered in the settings of surgery and trauma. Patients receiving anticoagulant therapy are also at increased risk of bleeding. We investigated the use of a prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC; Beriplex P/N, CSL Behring, Marburg, Germany) to treat severe bleeding in a variety of settings: cardiac surgery, warf...

Abstract Internet-of-Things (IoT) connects various physical objects through the Internet and it has a wide application, such as in transportation, military, healthcare, agriculture, many more. Those applications are increasingly popular because they address real-time problems. In contrast, use of transmission communication protocols raised serious security concerns for IoT devices, traditional ...

The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between resting-state functional connectivity and the severity of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in 15 people who developed PTSD following recent trauma. Fifteen participants who experienced acute traumatic events underwent a 7.3-min resting functional magnetic resonance imaging scan within 2 days post-event. All the pat...

Lasonolide A (LSA), a potent antitumor polyketide from the marine sponge, Forcepia sp., induces rapid and reversible protein hyperphosphorylation and premature chromosome condensation (PCC) at nanomolar concentrations independent of cyclin-dependent kinases. To identify cellular targets of LSA, we screened 2951 shRNAs targeting a pool of human kinases and phosphatases (1140 RefSeqs) to identify...

OBJECTIVE There is little evidence to guide treatment strategies for intracerebral hemorrhage on vitamin K antagonists (VKA-ICH). Treatments utilized in clinical practice include fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC). Our aim was to compare case fatality with different reversal strategies. METHODS We pooled individual ICH patient data from 16 stroke registries in...

As usual, the microgrid operates in grid-connect mode, but, when a fault occurs in the upstream grid, it should disconnect and shift into islanded operation mode. In grid-connect mode, the controlling power at the PCC is necessary management function rather than the frequency and voltage. However, the controlling the frequency and voltage is asked in islanded mode. To achieve these management g...

BACKGROUND Rapid reversal of vitamin K antagonist (VKA)-induced anticoagulation is often necessary for patients needing urgent surgical or invasive procedures. The optimum means of VKA reversal has not been established in comparative clinical trials. We compared the efficacy and safety of four-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (4F-PCC) with that of plasma in VKA-treated patients needing ur...

BACKGROUND Migrants have long been a disadvantaged group in China's health care system, especially in terms of maternal health care. Many studies have explored the factors associated with a lack of maternal health care and found many determinants, including social, economic, behavioral, and environmental factors. However, studies focusing on factors associated with maternal health care have rar...

BACKGROUND/AIM To collect data from throughout Turkey in order to facilitate the organization of pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), and to develop short-term immediate action plans and draft long-term strategic plans. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 35 specialists including 17 pediatric critical care (PCC) specialists, 9 PCC fellows in training, and 9 pediatricians working in PICUs eval...

In this paper, a subjective quality based comparison between four point clouds codecs is presented. For that, set of six was chosen. They were coded with different cloud encoding solutions, notably the MPEG V-PCC and G-PCC, deep learning coding solution RS-DLPCC also Draco, bit rates. A test where distorted reference rotated in video sequence side by followed evaluation, conducted. Then perform...
