Design of MARQUIS2: study protocol for a mentored implementation study of an evidence-based toolkit to improve patient s...
...Published in BMC Health Services Research
BackgroundThe first Multi-center Medication Reconciliation Quality Improvement Study (MARQUIS1) demonstrated that implementation of a medication reconciliation best practices toolkit decreased total unintentional medication discrepancies in five hospitals. We sought to implement the MARQUIS toolkit in more diverse hospitals, incorporating lessons l...
The clinical effect of arrhythmia monitoring after myocardial infarction (BIO-GUARD|MI):study protocol for a randomized ...
Published in Trials
BackgroundThe increasing use of implantable cardiac monitors (ICMs) allows early documentation of asymptomatic cardiac arrhythmias that would previously have gone unnoticed. The addition of remote monitoring to cardiac devices means that physicians receive an early warning in cases of new-onset arrhythmias. While remote monitoring has been suggeste...
Feasibility of flow cytometric analysis of restricted light chain in endoscopic biopsy specimens from patients with gast...
...Published in BMC Research Notes
ObjectiveGastrointestinal tract lymphomas are currently detected more frequently due to advances in endoscopic technology. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of flow cytometric analysis of restricted light chain in endoscopic biopsy specimens for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal tract B-cell lymphoma. We prepared viable cell suspe...
Switch Between El Nino and La Nina is Caused by Subsurface Ocean Waves Likely Driven by Lunar Tidal Forcing
Published in Scientific Reports
The El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the dominant interannual variability of Earth’s climate system, and strongly modulates global temperature, precipitation, atmospheric circulation, tropical cyclones and other extreme events. However, forecasting ENSO is one of the most difficult problems in climate sciences affecting both interannual clima...
Prion protein modulates endothelial to mesenchyme-like transition in trabecular meshwork cells: Implications for primary...
Published in Scientific Reports
Endothelial-to-mesenchyme-like transition (Endo-MT) of trabecular meshwork (TM) cells is known to be associated with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). Here, we investigated whether the prion protein (PrPC), a neuronal protein known to modulate epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in a variety of cell types, is expressed in the TM, and plays a sim...
Energy of the 229Th nuclear clock transition
...Published in Nature
The transition energy of the first excited state of 229Th to the ground state is determined through the measurement of internal conversion electrons to correspond to a wavelength of 149.7 ± 3.1 nanometres.
Uniqueness from gauge invariance and the Adler zero
In this paper we provide detailed proofs for some of the uniqueness results presented in arXiv:1612.02797. We show that: (1) Yang-Mills and General Relativity amplitudes are completely determined by gauge invariance in $n-1$ particles, with minimal assumptions on the singularity structure, (2) scalar non-linear sigma model and Dirac-Born-Infeld amp...
A family pedigree of malignancies associated with BRCA1 pathogenic variants: a reflection of the state of art in China
Published in Hereditary Cancer in Clinical Practice
BackgroundLittle is known about the status of genetic counseling for ovarian cancer in China.Case presentationWe report a four-generation Chinese family with several types of cancer. The proband was a patient with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) who was found to harbor a pathogenic BRCA1 variant. Cosegregation analysis identified 7 of 9 re...
Zero balance ultrafiltration using dialysate during nationwide bicarbonate shortage: a retrospective analysis
Published in Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
BackgroundZero balance ultrafiltration (Z-BUF) utilizing injectable 8.4% sodium bicarbonate is utilized to treat hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The nationwide shortage of injectable 8.4% sodium bicarbonate in 2017 created a predicament for the care of cardiac surgery patients. Given the uncertainty...
