Efficacy and safety of high dose versus low dose furosemide with or without dopamine infusion: The Dopamine in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure II (DAD-HF II) Trial
(2014)
Aims: The role of low-dose dopamine infusion in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) remains controversial. We aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high-versus low-dose furosemide with or without ...
Association of FCGR2A with the response to infliximab treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis
(2014)
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to assess a functional polymorphism in FCGR2A H131R, for association with the treatment response to Fc-containing inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor (TNF). METHODS: A total of 429 biologic-naive ...
Unsaturation: An important structural feature to nucleosides' antiviral activity
(2014)
In the search of effective, selective and nontoxic antiviral agents, a variety of nucleoside analogues have been synthesized, with different functionalities in the carbohydrate moiety and/or the heterocyclic base. Nucleoside ...
An implicit evolution scheme for active contours and surfaces based on IIR filtering
(2014)
In this work, we present an approach for implementing an implicit scheme for the numerical solution of the partial differential equation of the evolution of an active contour/surface. The proposed scheme is applicable to ...
Evaluating the role of perceived stress on the likelihood of having a non - Fatal acute coronary syndrome: A case-control study
(2014)
Objectives: The aim of the current study was to evaluate the independent role of perceived stress, measured by the PSS-14, on the likelihood of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: This is a case-control study ...
Fall detection using commodity smart watch and smart phone
(2014)
Human motion data captured from wearable devices such as smart watches can be utilized for activity recognition or emergency event detection, especially in the case of elderly or disabled people living independently in ...
Late HDV RNA relapse after peginterferon alpha-based therapy of chronic hepatitis delta
(2014)
Interferon alpha is the only treatment option for hepatitis delta virus (HDV). Trials investigating the efficacy of pegylated interferon alpha (PEG-IFNa) showed HDV RNA negativity rates of 25-30% 24 weeks after therapy. ...
Genetic changes during laboratory domestication of an olive fly SIT strain
(2014)
Early attempts to apply the SIT on the olive fly, Bactrocera oleae, were unsuccessful, mainly due to the low competitiveness of the sterile mass-reared males compared with the wild ones. Recently, new efforts are underway ...
Evaluation of Neutrophil Gelatinase-associated Lipocalin, Interleukin-18, and Cystatin C as Molecular Markers Before and After Unilateral Shock Wave Lithotripsy
(2014)
OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) on renal tissues using neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), cystatin C, and interleukin 18 (IL-18) levels in serum and urine and to examine ...
Intravenous insulin treatment in acute stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
(2014)
Introduction Poststroke hyperglycemia has been associated with unfavorable outcome. Several trials investigated the use of intravenous insulin to control hyperglycemia in acute stroke. This meta-analysis summarizes all ...
