The objective of this study was to demonstrate the causes, optimal definition, and predictive value of exercise-induced hypotension occurring during treadmill testing. This study included all patients referred for clinical reasons to the Long Beach Veterans Administration Medical Center treadmill laboratory and then followed for a 2-year period for cardiac events. The population consisted of 2,...

OBJECTIVE To examine the robustness of the association between C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and to examine whether genetically elevated CRP levels cause VTE. METHODS AND RESULTS In the prospective Copenhagen City Heart Study, we observed 10 388 participants for longer than 16 years, of whom 484 developed a VTE. In the cross-sectional Copen...

THE pilgrims which Geoffrey Chaucer described in his Prologue to the Canterbuty Tales (c. 1387) included all social ranks and vocations. Many of the tightly drawn portraits of these travellers were treated satirically, pointing up the evils of the time. The religious figures especially, the Prioress, Monk, Friar and Pardoner, all ofwhom were guilty ofsome kind ofclerical abuse, came in for seve...

BACKGROUND Both media use and cancer knowledge have been identified as important predictors of a healthy lifestyle. However, little is known about the interplay between these two variables, and about differences between cancer diagnosed and non-diagnosed consumers of media and knowledge. This study investigated the relationship between media use (television and internet exposure) and lifestyle ...

BACKGROUND Combined androgen blockade for the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer consists of an antiandrogen drug plus castration. In a previous trial, we found that adding the antiandrogen flutamide to leuprolide acetate (a synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone that results in medical ablation of testicular function) significantly improved survival as compared with that achieved with p...

BACKGROUND Variation in the incidence and mechanism of thermal injury has been reported in different age groups in children. The aim of this study was to report the incidence, mechanisms, and environmental factors of all burns presentations to the emergency department (ED) of a regional burns centre over a 7-year period. METHODS A retrospective, chart review study of all burns presentations t...

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of chronic cough in relation to upper airway symptoms, in a cross-sectional, population-based epidemiological study. Another aim was to relate coughing to other explanatory variables and risk factors. A random sample of 1900 inhabitants from the age of 20, stratified for age and gender, was recruited. Subjects were invited for clinical exami...

A new method for the objective assessment and prediction of the perceived audio quality is introduced. It represents an expansion of the speech quality measure qC , introduced by Hansen and Kollmeier (2000). It is based on a psychoacoustically validated, quantitative model of the ”effective” peripheral auditory processing by Dau et al. (1996a, 1997a). To evaluate the audio quality of a given di...
