AIM: To review previous studies (the last 6 years) about the Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) antibiotic resistance in order to evaluate the trend in antibiotic resistance. METHODS: In this study, the PubMed, MEDLINE, Science Direct, Google Scholar and Scielo manuscripts were reviewed from 2009 to 2014. RESULTS: On th…

PURPOSE: We have been performing radial shortening osteotomies for patients with negative ulnar variance and Lichtman stage 2 or higher Kienböck disease. Although we previously reported the results of this procedure 10 years after surgery, reports on follow-up beyond 10 years remain scarce. This study aimed to inv…

BACKGROUND: Global variations in epidemiology of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) exist. This study is designed to examine demographic and clinical features of T1DM over the past 3 decades as well as evolving trends in epidemiology over last 50 years. METHODS: Clinical characteristics of 925 patients with T1DM o…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the outcomes and complications in patients with myelomeningocele who have undergone spinal fusion for neuromuscular scoliosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective study of 40 consecutive patients with myelomeningocele with neuromuscular scoliosis who underwent spinal art…

While the frequency of patch test reactivity to many cosmetic allergens has decreased over the last 20 years, we have previously shown that in our clinic, the patch test reactivity to p-phenylenediamine (PPD) has remained stubbornly high between 2.5% and 4.2% in the years when patch testing was performed with 1% PPD. F…

BACKGROUND: There is growing concern about the economic impact of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in Brazil and worldwide. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the economic impact of CVD in Brazil in the last five years. METHODS: The information to estimate CVD costs was taken from national databases, adding the direct costs with ho…

Proxy reconstructions from marine sediment cores indicate peak temperatures in the first half of the last and current interglacial periods (the thermal maxima of the Holocene epoch, 10,000 to 6,000 years ago, and the last interglacial period, 128,000 to 123,000 years ago) that arguably exceed modern warmth. By contrast…

BACKGROUND: Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are common but less concerning in clinical practice of time-sensitive situations. We aimed to identify factors associated with a basic common DDI knowledge among an emergency physician (EP), an emergency medicine resident (EMR), and an emergency care nurse (ECN). METHODS: This…

BACKGROUND: Local anaesthesia (LA) is frequently used in the Emergency Department (ED). Local anaesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) is a potentially fatal complication associated with its use. It is assumed that all doctors administering LA are trained in all aspects of its use including the management of LAST. METHODS…

The variability of climate has profoundly impacted a wide range of macroecological processes in the Late Quaternary. Our understanding of these has greatly benefited from palaeoclimate simulations, however, high-quality reconstructions of ecologically relevant climatic variables have thus far been limited to a few sele…

PurposeLester Jones described canalicular bypass tubes 50 years ago. We present a cohort of patients with Jones' tubes first placed between 1969 and 1989, and who were reviewed within the last 15 years.Patients and methodsRetrospective case-note review for living patients identified as having had Jones' tube pla…

AIMS: Data regarding prognostic events following catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are scarce. We conducted this study to compare the incidence of major adverse clinical events (MACE) following CA for AF between patients with HFpE…

OBJECTIVE: This review paper on tuberculosis in children aims at describing the classical pathogenic findings and to discuss practical features for diagnosis, treatment and prevention, based on Brazilian official rules. METHODS: The author reviews the last 5 years literature on the subject using as sources Medline, Min…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or related dementias (ADRD), and the timing of first ADRD diagnosis, on Medicare expenditures at end of life. DATA SOURCES: Monthly Medicare payment data for the 5 years before death linked to the National Long-Term Care Survey (NLTCS) for decede…

Curated global climate data have been generated from climate model outputs for the last 120,000 years, whereas reconstructions going back even further have been lacking due to the high computational cost of climate simulations. Here, we present a statistically-derived global terrestrial climate dataset for every 1,000…

The local injection of botulinum toxin is accepted as the first-line treatment of primary cervical dystonia. This approach provides adequate symptomatic relief for most patients, but up to one-third will have an unsatisfactory response. Deep brain stimulation of the globus pallidus internus has been increasingly used i…

A simple climate model has been used to calculate the effect of past changes in the land-sea distribution on the seasonal cycle of temperatures during the last 100 million years. Modeled summer temperatures decreased over Greenland by more than 10 degrees C and over Antarctica by 5 degrees to 8 degrees C. For the last…

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to reveal the change in the demographic characteristics of patients with scabies in the last three years and the increase in frequency of patients with scabies observed in our region. METHODS: All patients diagnosed as having scabies in Erzurum Regional Training and Research Hospital and Paland&#x…

BACKGROUND: Gender disparities remain in the field of gastroenterology (GI) despite the decreasing gender gap in the medical field overall. We sought to examine primary and last female authorship as a marker of academic opportunity and advancement to assess the proportion of women publishing in GI over 20 years (1997-2…
