We present a classifier for use as a decision assist tool to identify a hypovolemic state in trauma patients during helicopter transport to a hospital, when reliable acquisition of vital-sign data may be difficult. The decision tool uses basic vital-sign variables as input into linear classifiers, which are then combined into an ensemble classifier. The classifier identifies hypovolemic patient...

BACKGROUND The different treatment strategies for bone cysts in children are often associated with persistence and high recurrence rates of the lesions. The safety and clinical outcomes of a combined mechanical and biological treatment with elastic intramedullary nailing, artificial bone substitute and autologous platelet rich plasma are evaluated. METHODS From 02/07 to 01/09 we offered all c...

We report herein a patient who developed diclofenac-induced acute rhabdomyolysis and hypovolemic shock. Timely recognition and management led to rapid recovery. Awareness of this potentially life-threatening side-effect is very important to encourage sparing and selective use of this drug in clinical practice.

Chronic wounds, such as leg ulcers associated with sickle cell disease, occur consequence of a prolonged inflammatory phase during the healing process. They are extremely hard to heal and persist significant health care problem due absence effective treatment uprising number patients. Indeed, there is critical need develop novel cell- tissue-based therapies treat these chronic wounds. Developme...

The central nervous system (CNS) mechanism(s) for the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) by various stimuli is unknown. In this study, the role of CNS catecholamines in effecting ADH release was examined in conscious rats 10-14 d after the cerebroventricular injection of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). This dose of 6-OHDA caused a 67% depletion of brain tissue norepinephrine and only 3% depletio...
