A preliminary report by K. Taylor from the University of Otago explores the complexity of musculoskeletal healthcare decision-making, using shoulder injuries as a case study. It proposes a solution based on multi-criteria decision-making analysis (MCDM) with online software to decrease variability in referrals. The report aims to clarify key clinical factors influencing decisions, offering an approach that could be adapted for other body sites.
A clinical study by Kasturba Medical College compares two adenoidectomy surgical techniques. Results show the endoscopic microdebrider method led to statistically significant improvements in hearing threshold, peak pressure, and tympanogram outcomes. The dataset likely contains pre- and post-operative audiometric measurements for 50 patients across two treatment groups.
A clinical study from The University of Adelaide investigates platelet nitric oxide signaling impairment in coronary artery spasm patients. It compares patients during acute symptomatic crises and chronic phases against healthy controls, measuring plasma biomarkers like syndecan-1, tryptase, and platelet microparticles. The research explores the therapeutic role of N-acetylcysteine and hydrogen sulfide donors in reversing observed platelet resistance.
Experimental data from a study exposing Cuban treefrogs to three parasites in pairwise combinations across a range of doses. The research investigates how parasite identity and density affect co-infection dynamics and host pathology. The dataset was produced by researchers at the University of Notre Dame and is available via Open Access.
An ethical framework document authored by Amy Y. Chen from Emory University and Maisie Shindo from Oregon Health Sciences University. It discusses the triage of elective and urgent endocrine surgeries during the COVID-19 pandemic. The document outlines specific thyroid and parathyroid conditions considered urgent time-sensitive surgery by professional societies.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center authored a paper on patient experience and administrative services during the COVID-19 crisis. The dataset likely contains qualitative or survey-based data on patient interactions and frontline administrative responses. Its specific row count and column structure are not detailed in the provided metadata.
A single clinical case report describes a third distinct phenotype linked to mutations in the FARS2 gene. The report details a 17-year-old woman with juvenile-onset refractory epilepsy, a super refractory focal motor status epilepticus, and specific mitochondrial abnormalities. Authored by Mostafa Hotait of the American University of Beirut Medical Center, this data is shared via an open-access paper on Papers with Code.
Over three weeks, an otolaryngologic triage committee supervised 65 cases at a Miami hospital system during the COVID-19 pandemic. The dataset, described by Francisco Civantos of the University of Miami, tabulates decisions made to balance patient health with public health concerns. It documents the process of resource allocation, including patient testing and non-surgical option screening, after hundreds of surgeries were cancelled.
A clinical study of 56 patients evaluated for structural heart abnormalities associated with idiopathic premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). The research, led by Leonor Parreira from Hospital da Luz, compared 45 patients with frequent PVCs to 11 control subjects using cardiac magnetic resonance and electrocardiographic mapping. Results indicated a high prevalence of low voltage areas in the RVOT of patients with PVCs, which were strongly associated with a Brugada ECG pattern.
33 thalassemia major patients with normal conventional echocardiography results were found to have significantly impaired cardiac function when evaluated by Tissue Doppler echocardiography. The study, led by Melike Sezgin Evim from Bursa Uludağ University, combined T2* MRI and Tissue Doppler measurements to assess myocardial iron overload and dysfunction. 63.6% of patients had myocardial iron overload, which correlated with impaired myocardial performance index measurements.
50 patients undergoing multivessel coronary artery bypass grafting were prospectively randomized to compare endoscopic and open radial artery harvest techniques. The trial, conducted at King Fahd Military Medical Complex, measured clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and 1-year angiographic patency rates. Endoscopic harvest was associated with shorter skin incisions, fewer neuralgias, and higher patient satisfaction, while graft patency was unaffected by the technique.
525 drug-related problems were identified in a study of pharmacist-led medication therapy management for ambulatory elderly patients with chronic diseases. The data, from Xin Wang's research, was collected from pharmacist outpatient clinics between January 2016 and June 2018. It shows changes in clinical outcomes like blood pressure and lipid levels, as well as medication costs.
2021 differentially expressed genes were screened from GEO, NCBI-gene, and OMIM databases to study Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University performed weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), identifying 6 modules and building a multi-factor regulatory network. The work defined five core genes (FTH1, HCAR3, RGS2, S100A9, TYROBP) and classified CHD samples into 5 clusters, suggesting potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets.
A research paper authored by Anand Gupta and others from Government Medical College and Hospital, Chandigarh, and other institutions. It discusses management strategies for head and neck cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on the Indian scenario. The paper is published on Papers with Code and is available under an Open Access license.
Alyssa M. Civantos from the University of Pennsylvania authored a paper presenting two clinical case studies. The work describes the management of head and neck cancer patients with underlying immunosuppressive disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic. It aims to provide guidance for clinicians balancing cancer progression risks with viral infection susceptibility.
Clinical data from an observational study of 279 patients who underwent pulmonary vein isolation as an initial atrial fibrillation ablation procedure. The dataset likely contains measurements of left atrial conduction velocity on anterior and posterior routes, calculated from conduction distance and time during right atrial pacing. The research was conducted by Naoya Kurata of Kansai Rosai Hospital to investigate predictors of AF recurrence.
A protocol from the University of California, San Francisco describes guidelines for otolaryngology resident education and clinical care during the COVID-19 pandemic. The work by Steven D. Pletcher outlines a small-team cohorting approach with role delineation based on patient COVID status and procedure risk. It specifically addresses high-risk procedures like endoscopy and tracheotomy.
Four patients underwent endoscopic skull base and transoral surgery using the Negative-Pressure Otolaryngology Viral Isolation Drape (NOVID) system. The retrospective study from the University of California, San Francisco used fluorescein to trace droplet contamination during procedures. Results indicated minimal distant contamination, with instruments and cottonoids appearing as greater contributors than aerosolized droplets.
A review by the Chinese University of Hong Kong consolidates international guidelines for personal protective equipment in otolaryngology. The work synthesizes published literature and governing body recommendations to address COVID-19 transmission risks. It provides situation-specific procedural precautions for head and neck providers managing COVID-19 patients.
Fourteen institutions in the United States contributed data on head and neck cancer care disruptions from March 27 to April 5, 2020. Rusha J Patel et al. collected this data via a shared spreadsheet to monitor real-time practice changes. The dataset likely contains metrics on clinic restrictions, surgical scheduling, and resource shortages.
