As important informatics interventions, clinical reminders (CRs) translate emerging knowledge into accessible advice at the point-of-care. In a timely fashion, CRs prompt clinicians to take specific actions that can improve or optimize patient care. To ensure that CRs achieve their desired impact, systems must deliver CRs to the clinicians most likely to act on them. Sadly, CRs many times pass ...

It is well known that chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. In fact, studies have shown that cardiovascular event rates and allcause mortality increase as a function of CKD as determined by decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate and presence of microalbuminuria. In recent years, the term cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) has been proposed t...

Contractile roots (CRs) that pull shoots further down in the soil are a possible example of convergent evolution in two monocot families, the Agavaceae and the Asphodelaceae. The association between CRs, water uptake and habitat aridity was investigated for agaves, yuccas and aloes by assessing the occurrence of CRs and the amount of root contraction for glasshouse-grown plants with respect to ...

Genetic studies of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) have identified a total of 53 CRS-associated SNPs that were subsequently evaluated for their reproducibility in a recent study. The rs2873551 SNP in linkage disequilibrium with PARS2 showed the strongest association signal. The present study aims to comprehensively screen for rare variants in PARS2 and evaluate for accumulation of such variants in...

Objective/Hypothesis Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a complex inflammatory disease of the upper respiratory airways resulting from the dysregulation of immunity and epithelial defenses. More recently, the contribution of an altered nasal microbiome to the development of CRS has also been proposed. However, the impact of aging on the development of CRS has been long overlooked. Here we propose,...

Preliminary particle size specifications have been developed on Cationic Slow Set (CSS) and Medium (CMS) emulsions. Therefore, there is a need for standard specification asphalt emulsions that encompass Rapid (CRS) with additives such as solid polymer latex polymer. This research links metrics to quality-control tests performance test CRS-2, CRS-2P, CRS-2L The moderate correlation between stora...

The Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) is a consistent and sensitive behavioral assessment standard for disorders of consciousness (DOC) patients. However, the CRS-R has limitations due to its dependence on behavioral markers, which has led to a high rate of misdiagnosis. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), which directly detect brain activities without any behavioral expression, can be used to ...

The two times-cytoreductive surgery (CRS) seems to be effective treatment because it allows complete removal of widespread masses and a reduction of surgical complications for pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) with high PCI. The present study verified the indication and prognostic factors of two times-CRS for patients with PMP. Between 2006 and 2017, 85(22.8%) patients were programmed a two times-su...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and oxidative status on the maternal cardiovascular regulation at the end of pregnancy in normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). METHODS Blood pressure (BP), mesenteric arterial bed (MAB) reactivity, mesenteric oxidative damage, protein expression, and antioxidant activi...
