Few studies have addressed the interaction between energy balance and lean body mass in healthy subjects during spaceflight or its simulations. We used doubly labeled water to measure total energy expenditure (TEE) in nine healthy adult men during two 7-day periods, once before and once during a 10-day head-down bed-rest period. Mean TEE was 21% less during than before bed rest; however, neithe...

ACKGROUND: Alcohol consumption has long been considered a trigger for recurrent gout attacks; owever, this hypothesis has not been formally tested. ETHODS: We conducted an Internet-based case-crossover study to assess several putative risk factors, ncluding alcohol consumption, thought to trigger recurrent gout attacks. Subjects who had an attack within he past year were recruited online and as...

Background: COVID-19 causes physical and psychological stressors. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship depression, anxiety, stress levels (DASS-21), salivary cortisol, platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) with severity in patients. Methods: This a cohort prospective study. Inclusion criteria were new patient at isolation room Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya confirmed COVID-19, 21-60 ye...

The safety and possible efficacy of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) were evaluated in 40 consecutive patients who received transplants from unrelated donors. rhGM-CSF was administered by 2-hour daily intravenous infusion from day 0 to day 20 or day 27 after the marrow infusion. These patients were compared with 78 historical patients who received tr...

During late pregnancy in the ewe, ovarian function is suppressed by placental steroids and following parturition ovarian function is restored. This experiment determined the ovarian secretion of oestradiol and androstenedione during late pregnancy and the early postpartum period in ewes. Six ewes with ovarian autotransplants were transplanted with three day 6 embryos and three gave birth on day...

BACKGROUND A more profound investigation of respiratory muscle strength during COPD exacerbation was needed, so we investigated respiratory muscle strength and related factors in patients with COPD during and after hospitalization for COPD exacerbation. METHODS In 19 subjects hospitalized for COPD exacerbation (12 males, mean age 67 ± 11 y, median percent-of-predicted FEV(1) 26% [IQR 19-32%])...

Reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with alemtuzumab, fludarabine, and melphalan is an effective approach for patients with nonmalignant disorders. Mixed chimerism and graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) remain limitations on success. We hypothesized that higher levels of alemtuzumab at day 0 would result in a low risk of acute GVHD, a higher ri...

BACKGROUND Nurse-physician collaboration may be related to outcomes in health care-associated infections. OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between nurse-physician collaboration and health care-associated infections in critically ill adults. METHODS A secondary analysis was done of 5 years of nurses' perception data from 671 surveys from 4 intensive care units. Ventilator-associated pneum...

this study was carried out to evaluate the impacts of organic (sel-plex® selenium yeast) and inorganic (sodium selenite) selenium and vitamin e (d1-α-tocopheryl acetate) on performance and carcass characteristics in broiler chickens. the effect of two types of house temperature and six treatments of feed additives were investigated in a 2×6 factorial experiment at 56 days period with 960 commer...
