OBJECTIVE: There is still no consensus on a safe and efficient treatment modality for cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP), which is known to cause severe complications, such as life-threatening hemorrhage. Suction curettage (SC) has been used as the first-line treatment for CSP with controversial outcomes. In this context, t…

Much of biomedical research is observational. The reporting of such research is often inadequate, which hampers the assessment of its strengths and weaknesses and of a study's generalizability. The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) Initiative developed recommendations on what…

Histopathology remains an important source of descriptive biological data in biomedical research. Recent petitions for enhanced reproducibility in scientific studies have elevated the role of tissue scoring (semiquantitative and quantitative) in research studies. Effective tissue scoring requires appropriate statistica…

OBJECTIVE: To review and assess the benefits, outcome, and side effects of using Botulinum Toxin A (BTxA) in the treatment of bruxism. METHODS: From January 2009 to January 2010, 120 bruxers were treated; no special examinations were carried out, since the exact diagnoses were made beforehand. All were treated with BT…

AIM: Rolling walkers (RW) are among the most common ambulatory devices used in senior-living communities. However, many observational studies have associated RW use with an increased risk of falling. Studies on how older RW users obtain and use their RW are lacking. Therefore, this study's purpose was to provide inform…

Monitoring COPD patients: systemic and bronchial eosinophilic inflammation in a 2-year follow-up" by Pignatti et al. provides valuable insights about changes in blood and sputum eosinophils in mild to moderate COPD patients and treatment outcomes. However, concerns arise regarding the accuracy of diagnosis of COPD in s…

This paper introduces a ranking and selection approach to psychoacoustic and psychophysical experimentation, with the aim of identifying top-ranking samples in listening experiments with minimal pairwise comparisons. We draw inspiration from sports tournament designs and propose to adopt modified knockout (KO) tourname…

Slime's increasing popularity has caused children to be more frequently exposed to glue. There is no comprehensive literature describing pediatric glue-related injuries. This study's purpose is to characterize pediatric glue-related injuries presented to U.S. emergency departments (EDs). We queried the National Electro…

BACKGROUND: This study's aim was to investigate an association between outcome from in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and increasing burden of comorbidities and frailty. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from contemporaneous patient notes and electronic records of all patien…

BACKGROUND: The percentage of Black registered nurses (RN) is disproportionate to Black residents in the population, particularly in Southern states. PURPOSE: This study's purpose was to identify the potential admission barriers for Black students in RN education in the South versus Midwest, Northeast, and West. METH…

This study's objective was to look for a simple and inexpensive method to reduce patients' pain during tonsillectomy. Bilateral tonsillectomy patients were enrolled and placed into different groups based on their admission numbers. Patients with odd numbers had electrical tonsillectomy on the right side with hypertonic…

This study's objective was to investigate how peer support relates to psychiatric hospitalization and crisis stabilization utilization outcomes. The likelihood of experiencing a psychiatric hospitalization or a crisis stabilization was modeled for consumers using peer support services and a control group of consumers u…

Cancer prevalence is of prime interest in public health because of its use in estimating the disease's burden on the heath care system. This study's objective was to estimate five-year prevalence of tumours from 1989 to 1999 and ten-year prevalence of tumours from 1994 to 1999 in the Province of Quebec (Canada). Five-y…

The frequency and etiology of anemia were investigated in 2,913 children between six and 16 years of age in Sanliurfa, in the southeast region of Turkey. Anemia was found in 142 (7.8%) children in the 6-11 years of age group, and in 16 (1.5%) in the 12-16 years of age group; in total, in 158 (5.4%) children. Causes wer…

In reconstructing exposure histories needed to calculate cumulative exposures, gaps often occur. Our investigation was motivated by case-control studies of residential radon exposure and lung cancer, where half or more of the targeted homes may not be measurable. Investigators have adopted various schemes for imputing…

PURPOSE: To assess the concordance of adverse event reporting between clinical trial registries and their corresponding publications for interventions treating benign prostatic hyperplasia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a registry-to-publication comparison study to evaluate the completeness and concordance of adv…
