Geographic, demographic, and socioeconomic variations in the investigation and management of coronary heart disease in Scotland. (1/7350)

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether age, sex, level of deprivation, and area of residence affect the likelihood of investigation and treatment of patients with coronary heart disease. DESIGN, PATIENTS, AND INTERVENTIONS: Routine discharge data were used to identify patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) between 1991 and 1993 inclusive. Record linkage provided the proportion undergoing angiography, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) over the following two years. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine whether age, sex, deprivation, and area of residence were independently associated with progression to investigation and revascularisation. SETTING: Mainland Scotland 1991 to 1995 inclusive. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Two year incidence of angiography, PTCA, and CABG. Results-36 838 patients were admitted with AMI. 4831 (13%) underwent angiography, 587 (2%) PTCA, and 1825 (5%) CABG. Women were significantly less likely to undergo angiography (p < 0.001) and CABG (p < 0.001) but more likely to undergo PTCA (p < 0.05). Older patients were less likely to undergo all three procedures (p < 0.001). Socioeconomic deprivation was associated with a reduced likelihood of both angiography and CABG (p < 0.001). There were significant geographic variations in all three modalities (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Variations in investigation and management were demonstrated by age, sex, geography, and socioeconomic deprivation. These are unlikely to be accounted for by differences in need; differences in clinical practice are, therefore, likely.  (+info)

Early death during chemotherapy in patients with small-cell lung cancer: derivation of a prognostic index for toxic death and progression. (2/7350)

Based on an increased frequency of early death (death within the first treatment cycle) in our two latest randomized trials of combination chemotherapy in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), we wanted to identify patients at risk of early non-toxic death (ENTD) and early toxic death (ETD). Data were stored in a database and logistic regression analyses were performed to identify predictive factors for early death. During the first cycle, 118 out of 937 patients (12.6%) died. In 38 patients (4%), the cause of death was sepsis. Significant risk factors were age, performance status (PS), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and treatment with epipodophyllotoxins and platinum in the first cycle (EP). Risk factors for ENTD were age, PS and LDH. Extensive stage had a hazard ratio of 1.9 (P = 0.07). Risk factors for ETD were EP, PS and LDH, whereas age and stage were not. For EP, the hazard ratio was as high as 6.7 (P = 0.0001). We introduced a simple prognostic algorithm including performance status, LDH and age. Using a prognostic algorithm to exclude poor-risk patients from trials, we could minimize early death, improve long-term survival and increase the survival differences between different regimens. We suggest that other groups evaluate our algorithm and exclude poor prognosis patients from trials of dose intensification.  (+info)

Peritoneal cytology in the surgical evaluation of gastric carcinoma. (3/7350)

Many patients undergoing surgery for gastric carcinoma will develop peritoneal metastases. A method to identify those patients at risk of peritoneal recurrence would help in the selection of patients for adjuvant therapy. Peritoneal cytology has received little attention in the West, but may prove a useful additional means of evaluating patients with gastric cancer. The aims of this study were to evaluate sampling techniques for peritoneal cytology in patients with gastric cancer, to assess the prognostic significance of free peritoneal malignant cells and to discover the effect of the operative procedure on dissemination of malignant cells. The study is based on 85 consecutive patients undergoing surgical treatment of gastric cancer and followed up for 2 years or until death. Peritoneal cytology samples were collected at laparoscopy, and at operation prior to resection by intraperitoneal lavage and serosal brushings. After resection, samples were taken by peritoneal lavage, imprint cytology of the resected specimen and post-operatively by peritoneal irrigation via a percutaneous catheter. Malignant cells were diagnosed by two independent microscopists. Preoperative peritoneal lavage yielded malignant cells in 16 out of 85 cases (19%). The yield of free malignant cells was increased by using serosal brushings (by four cases) and imprint cytology (by two cases); all of the cases had evidence of serosal penetration. One serosa-negative case exhibited positive cytology in the post-resection peritoneal specimen in which the preresection cytology specimen was negative. Survival was worse in the cytology-positive group (chi2 = 25.1; P< 0.0001). Among serosa-positive patients, survival was significantly reduced if cytology was positive, if cases yielded by brushings and imprint cytology were included (log-rank test = 8.44; 1 df, P = 0.004). In conclusion, free peritoneal malignant cells can be identified in patients with gastric cancer who have a poor prognosis; the yield can be increased with brushings and imprint cytology in addition to conventional peritoneal lavage. Evaluation of peritoneal cytology by these methods may have a role in the selection of patients with the poorest prognosis who may benefit most from adjuvant therapy.  (+info)

Profound variation in dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase activity in human blood cells: major implications for the detection of partly deficient patients. (4/7350)

Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is responsible for the breakdown of the widely used antineoplastic agent 5-fluorouracil (5FU), thereby limiting the efficacy of the therapy. To identify patients suffering from a complete or partial DPD deficiency, the activity of DPD is usually determined in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBM cells). In this study, we demonstrated that the highest activity of DPD was found in monocytes followed by that of lymphocytes, granulocytes and platelets, whereas no significant activity of DPD could be detected in erythrocytes. The activity of DPD in PBM cells proved to be intermediate compared with the DPD activity observed in monocytes and lymphocytes. The mean percentage of monocytes in the PBM cells obtained from cancer patients proved to be significantly higher than that observed in PBM cells obtained from healthy volunteers. Moreover, a profound positive correlation was observed between the DPD activity of PBM cells and the percentage of monocytes, thus introducing a large inter- and intrapatient variability in the activity of DPD and hindering the detection of patients with a partial DPD deficiency.  (+info)

The effect of race and sex on physicians' recommendations for cardiac catheterization. (5/7350)

BACKGROUND: Epidemiologic studies have reported differences in the use of cardiovascular procedures according to the race and sex of the patient. Whether the differences stem from differences in the recommendations of physicians remains uncertain. METHODS: We developed a computerized survey instrument to assess physicians' recommendations for managing chest pain. Actors portrayed patients with particular characteristics in scripted interviews about their symptoms. A total of 720 physicians at two national meetings of organizations of primary care physicians participated in the survey. Each physician viewed a recorded interview and was given other data about a hypothetical patient. He or she then made recommendations about that patient's care. We used multivariate logistic-regression analysis to assess the effects of the race and sex of the patients on treatment recommendations, while controlling for the physicians' assessment of the probability of coronary artery disease as well as for the age of the patient, the level of coronary risk, the type of chest pain, and the results of an exercise stress test. RESULTS: The physicians' mean (+/-SD) estimates of the probability of coronary artery disease were lower for women (probability, 64.1+/-19.3 percent, vs. 69.2+/-18.2 percent for men; P<0.001), younger patients (63.8+/-19.5 percent for patients who were 55 years old, vs. 69.5+/-17.9 percent for patients who were 70 years old; P<0.001), and patients with nonanginal pain (58.3+/-19.0 percent, vs. 64.4+/-18.3 percent for patients with possible angina and 77.1+/-14.0 percent for those with definite angina; P=0.001). Logistic-regression analysis indicated that women (odds ratio, 0.60; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.4 to 0.9; P=0.02) and blacks (odds ratio, 0.60; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.4 to 0.9; P=0.02) were less likely to be referred for cardiac catheterization than men and whites, respectively. Analysis of race-sex interactions showed that black women were significantly less likely to be referred for catheterization than white men (odds ratio, 0.4; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.2 to 0.7; P=0.004). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that the race and sex of a patient independently influence how physicians manage chest pain.  (+info)

Studies on structural changes of the carotid arteries and the heart in asymptomatic renal transplant recipients. (6/7350)

BACKGROUND: The present study was designed to characterize early structural changes of large arteries in renal transplant recipients with no clinical evidence of cardiovascular disease and normal blood pressure values, and to analyse the relationship between arterial alterations and those of the heart. METHODS: Intima media thickness and atherosclerotic plaques of the carotid arteries as well as left ventricular geometry and function were examined in 35 asymtomatic renal transplant recipients and 29 age- and sex-matched healthy controls by high resolution B-mode ultrasound and by echocardiography. RESULTS: Intima-media thickness of the carotid arteries was significantly higher in renal transplant recipients (1.21+/-0.08 mm) than in healthy controls (0.74+/-0.04 mm) (P<0.001). Atherosclerotic plaques were found in the majority of renal transplant recipients (71% vs 14% in healthy controls, P<0.001). Left ventricular mass index was significantly increased in the group of renal transplant recipients (264+/-13 g, 146+/-7 g/m2) when compared with healthy controls (155+/-8 g, 83+/-4 g/m2) (P<0.001). Multiple regression analysis in renal transplant recipients showed that intima media thickness of the carotid arteries was significantly related to left ventricular mass index (P<0.02), but not to age, blood pressure, body mass index, serum creatinine, cholesterol and lipoprotein (a) levels. In the group of healthy controls, intima-media thickness of the carotid artery was related to age (P<0.002), but not to left ventricular mass index or the other independent variables. CONCLUSIONS: The present study documents pronounced intima-media thickening in asymptomatic renal transplant recipients. Atherosclerotic lesions are present in most renal transplant recipients with no clinical evidence of cardiovascular disease. We observed a parallelism between arterial wall thickening and left ventricular hypertrophy, although blood pressure levels were normal during haemodialysis therapy and after renal transplantation.  (+info)

Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms: selecting patients for surgery. (7/7350)

OBJECTIVES: Mortality from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) remains high. Despite this, withholding surgery on poor-prognosis patients with RAAA may create a difficult dilemma for the surgeon. Hardman et al. identified five independent, preoperative risk factors associated with mortality and proposed a model for preoperative patient selection. The aim of this study was to test the validity of the same model in an independent series of RAAA patients. METHODS: A consecutive series of patients undergoing surgery for RAAA was analysed retrospectively by case-note review. Thirty-day operative mortality and the presence of the five risk factors: age (> 76 years), creatinine (Cr) (> 190 mumol/l), haemoglobin (Hb) (< 9 g/dl), loss of consciousness and electrocardiographic (ECG) evidence of ischaemia were recorded for each patient. RESULTS: Complete data sets existed for 69 patients (mean age: 73 years, range: 38-86 years, male to female ratio: 6:1). Operative mortality was 43%. The cumulative effect of 0, 1 and 2 risk factors on mortality was 18%, 28% and 48%, respectively. All patients with three or more risk factors died (eight patients). CONCLUSIONS: These results lend support to the validity of the model. The potential to avoid surgery in patients with little or no chance of survival would spare unnecessary suffering, reduce operative mortality and enhance use of scarce resources.  (+info)

Repair of ruptured thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm is worthwhile in selected cases. (8/7350)

INTRODUCTION: The risks and benefits of operating on patients with ruptured thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) have not been defined. The aim of the present study is to report this unit's experience with operations performed for ruptured TAAA over a 10-year period. METHODS: Interrogation of a prospectively gathered computerised database. PATIENTS: Between 1 January 1983 and 30 June 1996, 188 consecutive patients with TAAA were operated on, of whom 23 (12%) were operated for rupture. RESULTS: There were nine survivors (40%). Patients whose preoperative systolic blood pressure remained above 100 mmHg were significantly more likely to survive (4/8 vs. 13/15, p = 0.03 by Fisher's exact test). Survival was also related to Crawford type: type I (two of three survived); II (none of six); III (two of six); and IV (five of eight). All non-type II, non-shocked patients survived operation. Survivors spent a median of 28 (range 10-66) postoperative days in hospital, of which a median of 6 (range 2-24) days were spent in the intensive care unit. Survivor morbidity comprised prolonged ventilation (> 5 days) (n = 3); tracheostomy (n = 1); and temporary haemofiltration (n = 2). No survivor developed paraplegia or required permanent dialysis. CONCLUSIONS: Patients in shock with a Crawford type II aneurysm have such a poor prognosis that intervention has to be questioned except in the most favourable of circumstances. However, patients with types I, III and IV who are not shocked on presentation can be salvaged and, where possible, should be transferred to a unit where appropriate expertise and facilities are available.  (+info)

BACKGROUND: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are widely accepted as being the most efficient way of investigating the efficacy of psychological therapies. However, researchers conducting RCTs commonly report difficulties in recruiting an adequate sample within planned timescales. In an effort to overcome recruitment difficulties, researchers often are forced to expand their recruitment criteria or extend the recruitment phase, thus increasing costs and delaying publication of results. Research investigating the effectiveness of recruitment strategies is limited, and trials often fail to report sufficient details about the recruitment sources and resources utilized. PURPOSE: We examined the efficacy of strategies implemented during the Staying Well after Depression RCT in Oxford to recruit participants with a history of recurrent depression. METHODS: We describe eight recruitment methods utilized and two further sources not initiated by the research team and examine their efficacy in terms of (1) the

Background Recruitment of participants into long-term community-based lifestyle intervention trials, particularly adults with a chronic disease, is often slow and challenging. Currently there is limited data on successful recruitment strategies suitable for older adults with type 2 diabetes into community-based exercise and nutrition programs, and no information on cost estimates associated with such recruitment. The aim of this report is to describe the recruitment strategies used and the success of each approach in recruiting older adults with type 2 diabetes into a 6-month community-based exercise and nutritional supplementation randomised controlled trial (RCT). A secondary aim is to assess the costs associated with the recruitment methods used. Methods The Resistance Exercise, Vitamin D and Muscle Protein Intervention Trial (REVAMP-IT) for type 2 diabetes is a 24-week RCT targeting 202 adults with type 2 diabetes which is designed to evaluate whether post-exercise ingestion of a whey- ...

Enrollment Planning and Patient RecruitmentEnrollment Planning and Patient Recruitment
Patient recruitment and up-front enrollment planning are critical to drug development programs. Patient recruitment, if not adequately planned for, can extend your development timeline by a number of years. Retention of patients throughout the life of a clinical trial is essential in order to have complete data sets for your analysis and subsequent filings. In order to optimize both, you have to have a plan and it should take into account all stakeholders from senior management at the sponsor company and the CRO partners, to the sites and investigators and study volunteers. Cambridge Healthtech Institutes Tenth Annual Enrollment Planning and Patient Recruitment conference will cover the topics one should consider when drafting and strategically implementing a patient recruitment plan for a clinical development program.. ,p justify;\=,. ...

Tips to Get that All-Important Launch Meeting with Your Hiring Managers - The Consultative RecruiterTips to Get that All-Important Launch Meeting with Your Hiring Managers - The Consultative Recruiter
Weve all been there as recruiters. We have a new requisition, and now its time to get additional information from the hiring manager so we can write a compelling posting and do a great job on this search.. It would seem intuitively obviously the better the information up front, the more successful the entire search will be. Yet so many times the hiring manager will not spend the time it takes to give the recruiter what they need. Even worse, letting the hiring manager duck the upfront meeting may be setting the stage for how the entire search is going to be.. Im not in favor of any bashing of hiring managers. If they arent working with you in the way you feel they should, lets change that. The amazing thing is that when you make some simple changes, you will change the relationship with your hiring managers.. As recruiters, we could easily (and legitimately) say It shouldnt be necessary for me to make a business case about why the hiring manager should spend time with me at the beginning ...

Reviews and Notes: Patient Recruitment in Clinical Trials | Annals of Internal Medicine | American College of PhysiciansReviews and Notes: Patient Recruitment in Clinical Trials | Annals of Internal Medicine | American College of Physicians
Defining a sound strategy for patient recruitment is the primary theme of this, the tenth book in an evolving series of pragmatic texts written for the clinical trials professional. Because patient recruitment problems are the most important reason for the failure of clinical trials, a strong need exists for a source that gathers numerous ideas for patient recruitment. The authors provide examples of letters, brochures, announcements, and campaigns that can be sculpted to reach intended study populations. Another strength is the checklist-oriented tables and study-specific figures that are based on current clinical trials ...

Among the 155 interviews audited for quality control, only 25 of them (16.1%) had to change something in the records. Most the corrections were about identification data; in only six records (3.8%) the supervisor had to update morbidity data.. Discussion. This study presents an example of a simple and viable method of teleresearch in reproductive health to trace a specific subject selected from a database carried out in Brazil. Although telephone surveys have been used to explore information on health in developed settings for several years 1,15, there is still some discussion on the validity of telephone surveys for the administration of questionnaires and the mode of contact can interfere in response rates and account for selection bias in public health research. The validity of this method of collecting data needs a high rate of response to truly represent the studied population, therefore it is important to use recruitment methods that are easily reproducible 8,9,16,17..

What Are the Top 5 Job Interview Mistakes? | Undergrad SuccessWhat Are the Top 5 Job Interview Mistakes? | Undergrad Success
Candidates are often given a week or two of notice before they sit down face-to-face with a recruiter. Some will spend that time agonizing over the right clothes to wear, or figuring out the greatest weakness question. Some will make sure they have memorized their resume, start-to-finish - or map out to the exact second when to leave the house so they arent late.. Yet many will fail to do what really impresses a recruiter or hiring manager: research!. They wont go on LinkedIn to learn more about the recruiter. They wont go online to learn about next steps in the companys growth. They wont check out the organizations competition or standing in the marketplace. Many wont even take the time to understand the companys mission and culture - and to know if they are a good fit.. In the eyes of the recruiter, this lack of effort puts the candidate in the He just needs a job - any job category. And in this economy, that attitude will eliminate the candidate from consideration.. By learning ...

Off the Kuff: Military recruiter case decidedOff the Kuff: Military recruiter case decided
Moreover, keeping the military - one of Americas largest employers - off-campus would seem to be bad for students and the whole country.. I respectfully disagree. First, its patently ridiculous to assume that military recruiters have no access to college students other than on campus.. Second, given our current misadventure in Iraq, a blanket statement that keeping the military away is bad for students is highly debatable, to say the least. And the same goes for whether its bad for the country as a whole.. Its not as if other foundations making grants do not place limitations on colleges and universities.. True, but private foundations are not bound by the Bill of Rights. The Federal government (supposedly) is.. Greg is right that this ruling is misguided, though its hardly unprecedented - the Supremes have been narrowing the First Amendment where Federal funds are involved since at least the 80s (for example, the old Title X gag rule and the NEA decency provision).

Patient Selection CriteriaPatient Selection Criteria
Small bowel/intestinal transplantation, combined liver/intestinal transplantation, and multivisceral transplantation are operations that are reserved for life-threatening conditions, but no longer considered investigational. Worldwide, from the early 1980s until mid 2003, 61 centers had performed 989 transplants upon 923 patients. (433 isolated small intestinal, 386 liver/intestinal, and 170 multivisceral). Sixty one percent of all transplants have been performed upon children. In this era, one-year survival has remained between 65 and 70% and five-year survival is between 40 and 50%. When reserved for patients with no possibility of long-term survival without transplantation, the procedure should be strongly considered.. Factors governing success of the procedure will include the general health of the recipient before transplant, the size of the center, the experience of the physicians within that center with small bowel or liver transplantation and/or related procedures, and recent advances in ...

Am I being paranoid?Am I being paranoid?
I wanted to have a positive relationship with recruiters. I called to work with one. He looked at my stuff and said it was really good an he liked it. But he said he does not work in my kind of interactive field. So, he was fowarding my work to another recruiter in another state! I cant remember that ever happening to me with a recruiter before.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the agreement between self-reported and operator-derived estimates of call time based on a three-month monitoring period, as well as the consistency of mobile phone use over time. Alternative approaches to improve participation in a cohort study of mobile phone users were also compared. A total of 5,400 subjects were identified from network operators subscriber databases for recruitment to the pilot study. Operator and questionnaire data were used to quantify mobile phone use. Operator data were available for a subset of the subjects for a three-month period in three consecutive years. We also evaluated the effect of the length of the questionnaire and one- or two-phase recruitment on participation. The average response rate for both questionnaires and recruitment procedures was 12%. The response rate was not affected by the length of the questionnaire or the recruitment method.

Twenty years after this act, the proportion of minority patients enrolled in cancer clinical trials remains persistently low. Clinical trials are vehicles for the development and evaluation of therapeutic and preventive agents under scientifically rigorous conditions. Without representation in trials, it is projected that disparities in the cancer burden for minorities will increase. For this review article, the authors counted the frequency with ...

Compared with TAU, both TCBT and WCBT intervention arms showed clinically important and/or statistically significant improvements in all primary and secondary outcomes at all time points sustained at 12 months. These results indicate that both TCBT and WCBT are effective treatments for refractory moderately severe IBS compared with TAU.. Trial strengths include a well-powered rigorously conducted RCT with broad inclusion and long-term follow-up. The IBS-specific CBT was based on an explicit theoretical model19 which informed detailed patient and therapy manuals and the WCBT (Regul8). Therapists were experienced in delivering CBT and trained and supervised to deliver IBS-specific CBT. Trial interventions had good treatment fidelity and were delivered by NHS therapists in an NHS setting.. In terms of limitations, trial participants may not be representative of all patients with IBS. To address this, we used broad inclusive recruitment methods from primary and secondary care. However, people ...

Ventilator Management - Crashing PatientVentilator Management - Crashing Patient
The static respiratory system pressure-volume (P-V) curve is often measured in intubated, mechanically ventilated patients to make inferences about the mechanical properties of the lungs. Although the utility of P-V measurements in clinical decision-making remains to be established, the determinants of the P-V relationship should nevertheless be understood. The P-V curve is generated by inflating and deflating the relaxed respiratory system in a stepwise fashion between residual volume and total lung capacity. The airway occlusion pressure at each volume defines the corresponding elastic recoil pressures of the lungs and chest wall. Because the inflation and deflation relationships differ from each other, the resulting curve is often referred to as a P-V loop. The respiratory system P-V loop is the summation of individual lung and chest wall P-V loops, termed a Rahn diagram Failure to oxygenate is treated by recruitment methods, increased baseline airway pressures using CPAP, and restoration of ...

Trials in primary care to increase physical activity (PA) typically experience poor recruitment rates and may not recruit those with lower PA levels and who are most in need of the intervention. Despite the well-publicised benefits of physical activity, the majority of adults in the UK remain inactive and, therefore, at greater risk of many health problems. Our aim was to investigate the reasons for non-participation in the PACE-UP trial, which is a primary care pedometer-based walking intervention. This is important for successful recruitment and retention in future PA trials and programmes. We conducted semi-structured audio-recorded telephone interviews with 30 participants, aged 45-75 years, purposively sampled from those declining participation in the PACE-UP trial. Recruitment continued until data saturation and a demographically balanced sample was achieved. Interviews were transcribed verbatim, coded and subjected to thematic analysis. Interviewees supported walking as suitable exercise for most

ASPR Weekly - December 10, 2013 - Association of Staff Physician RecruitersASPR Weekly - December 10, 2013 - Association of Staff Physician Recruiters
One thing we can count on in the healthcare industry is change. Healthcare reform. Changes in reimbursements. New technologies to help us do our jobs. Keeping up with change presents challenges and sometimes, decisions made based on current information need to be re-evaluated because it turns out that they may not have been the best choices.. In consideration of evolving employment models for in-house physician recruiters, ASPR has taken time to re-evaluate the decision made in 2011 to re-categorize members into three distinct categories. Through this review, we realized that some of the newer in-house recruitment models operate in much the same way as the more traditional model and that we are missing opportunities to learn and grow from one another by segmenting membership into multiple categories. We believe it is imperative that we embrace the changes in our industry, be more inclusive, and continue to evolve and grow. To this end, the ASPR Board of Directors voted to combine the Affiliate ...

Driver accused of striking 2 pedestriansDriver accused of striking 2 pedestrians
ROSEVILLE, Minn.-Ramsey County prosecutors will consider charges against a man accused of striking two U.S. Army recruiters and dragging one of them under his SUV. Police say the two uniformed recruiters were struck Tuesday afternoon as they walked near the Crossroads shopping center in Roseville. Officials say one of the recruiters, a 42-year-old Circle Pines man, was trapped under the Jeep Cherokee and was dragged about three-quarters of a mile before he was able to free himself. Roseville police say the recruiter suffered a broken leg and other severe injuries which are not believed to be life threatening. The second victim, a 29-year-old Brooklyn Center man, was thrown over the hood of the SUV, but was able to walk away with minor injuries. Police arrested the driver at a car dealership in Roseville.. ...

Patient selection for left ventricular assist devices. | Semantic ScholarPatient selection for left ventricular assist devices. | Semantic Scholar
Mechanical circulatory support has become an increasingly common method of supporting patients with advanced heart failure. Paramount to the recent progress observed with this therapy has been a greater understanding of patient selection criteria as a primary determinant of early and late patient outcomes. Prior to device implant, patients should undergo a multidisciplinary evaluation of cardiovascular, noncardiovascular, and psychosocial factors that influence postoperative outcomes. The use of multivariable risk scores may also be useful to guide discussions with patients and families regarding the relative risks of different therapeutic alternatives. Despite an evidence base that provides guiding principles in patient selection for mechanically assisted circulation, several aspects of the evaluation require further refinement, including development of tools to objectively assess psychosocial parameters, and definition and validation of measures of right ventricular dysfunction that preclude

The most recent, 2014, is the first cohort whose enrollment rate increased from the previous year, the report noted. Previously, all graduating classes included in this report had a lower enrollment rate than their previous year.. The report is good news because so many of the jobs in our technology and information based economy require post-secondary credentials, said Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia, whos also executive director of the department. However, the report also reveals that we have continuing and significant gaps in post-secondary outcomes and that students from certain demographic groups are doing much better than others. If we are to meet our education and workforce goals, we must do a better job of supporting low income, rural, and minority students so that they graduate with a credential that will lead to a living wage job.. Overall college enrollment tends to rise when the economy is weak and drop when times improve. Fall enrollment in 2014 was 251,778, down from the recent high of ...

The U.S. federal government enters a shutdown because neither legislation appropriating funds for fiscal year 2014 nor a continuing resolution for the interim authorization of appropriations are enacted before the new fiscal year begins. Participant recruitment in D2d is ready to launch; however, the countdown to the start of recruitment is aborted because the D2d funding agency (NIH) is considered a nonessential aspect of the U.S. Government operation. Interestingly, there are more than 850,000 non-essential government employees who stop going to work during a shutdown. However, taxpayers are still required to pay taxes during the shutdown! During the 16-day shutdown (October 1 to 17, 2013), which is the fourth-longest government shutdown in U.S. history, all communication between D2d investigators and NIDDK comes to a halt.

Is it possible to improve long-term results of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding with appropriate patient selection?Is it possible to improve long-term results of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding with appropriate patient selection?
The LAGB evolved from vertical banded gastroplasty. Early results were promising [9]. The procedure raised great interest among surgeons and patients because of safety considerations, effectiveness, and accessibility. However, long-term observations of patients who underwent LAGB revealed serious problems, including a high rate of band removal because of band-related complications [10]. Kowalewski et al. reported that up to 60% of patients had band removal within 10 years [11]. In our series, 23% of patients underwent band removal within 7.5 years after surgery. It needs to be stressed that patients who have their LAGB removed will experience weight regain, independent of current weight, time from index procedure, or cause of removal [12]. Including the patients who underwent band removal and those who did not achieve a successful outcome, the failure rate in the present study was 51%. Poor effectiveness in maintaining long-term weight loss was the most important issue. A meta-analysis published ...

Aim: To explore potential methods of increasing cervical screening coverage. Methods: Cervical screening defaulters in Dumfries and Galloway were identified in 2012, split into a control (N=64) and 7 intervention groups who were offered multiple screening options including self-collecting a vaginal sample at home. Self-samples were tested for high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV). A total of 3323 were invited to request a kit and 492 were sent a kit directly. Women who declined screening were asked to complete a questionnaire. Colposcopy referrals from defaulters were audited to identify changes over time. Defaulters attending the hospital smear clinic were questioned to ascertain barriers to cervical screening. Results: Among seven intervention groups the proportion responding varied between 32% (25%-38%) and 14% (11%-17%) compared to 6% among controls. One hundred and thirty women were HPV positive on self-sample, 8 of whom had CIN2+ diagnosed. A significantly higher number of defaulters were ...

Modernization of eligibility criteria could have beneficial effects on improving clinical trial enrollment, said speakers representing the first panel at the FOCR meeting.

Kim Distinguished Chair for Cancer Research at the Levine Cancer Institute, Carolinas HealthCare System in Charlotte, N.C.. Authors of the first white paper concluded there is a need for a re-evaluation of clinical trial eligibility, including the exclusion of patients with prior cancers. They noted that data have shown prior malignancies did not impact survival outcomes in patients with stage IV lung cancer or locally advanced lung cancer, suggesting clinical trial outcomes would not be adversely impacted by inclusion of patients with a history of prior cancer.

Poor recruitment in clinical trials is well-documented. In large, multi-centre trials, communication between the coordinating centre and trial sites is essential. A commonly used communication tool is the hosting of an investigator/collaborator meeting, which offers an opportunity for sites to re-train and receive trial updates, learn from each other, share best practice and troubleshoot issues. Anecdotally, there is a perception that recruitment rates may increase after holding such a meeting. The aim of this before-and-after study was to examine any changes in recruitment after an investigator meeting. We conducted a retrospective study of nine trials at the Nottingham Clinical Trials Unit (NCTU) that were open to recruitment between 2014 and 2018. In the 8 weeks prior to the date of the investigator meeting, 82 sites (across nine trials) were open to recruitment; 60 of which attended the meeting, 22 who did not.
