Maria Luisa Martin-Ruiz, Miguel Angel Valero, Maria Linden, Susana Nunez-Nagy and Angeles Gutierrez Garcia

Article Type: Short Communication | First Published: November 11, 2015

The creation of adequate smart monitoring solutions at home can provide professionals with reliable information about the health status of a child. Furthermore, toys and playing are crucial for the overall development of a human being. Hence, the aim of this research is to improve the exactitude of traditional evaluation methods by embedding sensors into daily life toys that provide professionals with added value supplementary evidence enhanced by Decision Support Systems (DSS). It will be possi...

Utilizing Patient Perspectives to Help Reduce Postoperative Readmission Rates

Vanessa Nomellini, Sarah E Tevis, Mary O'Leary, Maria Brenny-Fitzpatrick, Tamara LeCaire, Gregory D Kennedy, Emily R Winslow and Sharon M Weber

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: October 29, 2015

A total of 50 patients were enrolled in the study. There were no differences between the study patients and NSQIP patients in terms of age or gender, but there was a significant difference in ASA class (p < 0.01). The majority of patients had a scheduled follow up appointment, however 66% were readmitted before they were able to attend and 6% were readmitted from their postoperative clinic visit. When asked about suggestions to improve discharge planning, 50% were satisfied with the process. Amo...

Characterization of Human Influenza Viruses Propagated by Madin-Darby Canine Kidney Cells or Embryonated Eggs

Ewan P Plant, Laura Couzens, Samuel Mindaye, Elizabeth M Coyle, Surender Khurana, Hang Xie, Hana Golding, Maryna C Eichelberger and Zhiping Ye

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: November 22, 2015

The hemagglutination assay is a commonly used method to titer influenza virus. It relies on the interaction between virus particles and red blood cells being sufficient to prevent the settling of the blood cells. During additional assessment of human influenza virus stocks titrated by the hemagglutination assay we noted that virus grown in cell culture had a greater number of virus particles than analogous virus grown in eggs. Virus grown in both egg and Madin-Darby canine kidney cells are used ...

Validation of Steroid-Free Immunosuppression Regimen after Liver Transplantation

Ken Fukumitsu, Ahmed Hammad, Toshimi Kaido, Kohei Ogawa, Yasuhiro Fujimoto, Akira Mori, Hideaki Okajima and Shinji Uemoto

Article Type: Original Article | First Published: November 27, 2015

Liver transplantation (LT) is performed worldwide with immunosuppression being an indispensable component of the perioperative management. Calcineurin inhibitors and steroids have been the most popular and widely used drugs for a long time. However, steroids hold long-term adverse effects, as increased susceptibility to infection, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, obesity, hypertension and osteopenia. Furthermore, steroids have been implicated in hepatitis C (HCV) recurrence after LT and graft fail...

Association between Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score and In-hospital Deaths of Surgical, Critically Ill Patients with Sepsis

Noboru Harada, Ken Shirabe, Shinji Itoh, Hideaki Uchiyama, Motoyuki Yamagata, Fumiaki Kishihara, Takashi Maeda, Nao Kinjo, Kensaku Sanefuji, Yosuke Kuroda, Kazutoyo Morita, Tomoharu Yoshizumi, Toru Ikegami, Yo-ichi Yamashita, Yoshihiko Maehara and Study group of refractory disease in hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery

Article Type: Original Article | First Published: January 13, 2016

Sepsis, defined as infection-induced systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), is the leading cause of death in non-cardiac critically ill patients. In the United States, nearly 200,000 deaths per year are attributed to sepsis. Worldwide, as many as 20 million people may experience sepsis annually, with a mortality rate of about 35%. Sepsis involves multiple mechanisms, including the release of cytokines and the activation of the complement, coagulation and fibrinolytic systems....

Using D-β-Hydroxybutyrate Containing Solutions to Treat Hyperglycemia Induced by Shock or Injury Instead of Insulin may Circumvent Insulin Resistance and Provide Cells with the Energy Required to Maintain Vital Processes through Preserving Normal Mitochondrial Function without Causing Hypoglycemia

Veech RL and Valeri CR

Article Type: Review Article | First Published: January 13, 2016

Severe injury, infection and hemorrhage all cause insulin resistance and hyperglycemia. Insulin resistance blocks glucose entry into cells and the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA impairing cellular energy production. During insulin resistance, glucose cannot enter muscle and fat cells nor can the cell metabolize the lactate given in lactated Ringer's solution with the occurrence of hyperglycemia. More importantly in all cells the mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity is decrea...

Article Type: Review Article | First Published: January 12, 2016

We reviewed and summarized fifteen cases associated with liver injury following chest compression for CPA reported in Japan. In some cases, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was administered by medical assistants such as doctors or medical technicians, but in other cases, CPR was given by bystanders. Five patients were male and eight were female, with ages ranging from 31 to 83 years old. Unfractionated heparin was administered to ten patients as a treatment for embolism or indication of veno-...

Using Intervention Mapping for Systematic Development of a Midwife-Delivered Intervention for Prevention and Reduction of Maternal Distress during Pregnancy

Yvonne Fontein-Kuipers, Evelien van Limbeek, Marlein Ausems, Raymond de Vries and Marianne Nieuwenhuijze

Article Type: Original Article | First Published: December 22, 2015

Maternal distress is a major concern for perinatal health. We define maternal distress as a spectrum consisting of a variety of psychological constructs that occur during the antenatal period. Maternal distress can be the result of pregnancy or birth or other non-pregnancy related experiences in a woman's past or present life. It varies in severity from stress, worry, and concerns to more serious feelings of unhappiness, anxiety and/or depression and disturbed psychological functioning. Maternal...

Article Type: Original Article | First Published: December 22, 2015

Increasing access to underutilized family planning methods is of global concern. The United Nations Commission on Life-Saving Commodities identified the female condom (FC) as one of 13 essential and overlooked commodities. Male and female condoms are currently the only effective method of dual protection against unintended pregnancy and the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). A new design of female condom with special features to m...
