Biomarker signatures of sickle cell disease severity
Publication date: Available online 16 May 2018Source: Blood Cells, Molecules, and DiseasesAuthor(s): Mengtian Du, Sarah Van Ness, Victor Gordeuk, Sayed M. Nouraie, Sergei Nekhai, Mark Gladwin, Martin H. Steinberg, Paola SebastianiAbstractIdentifying sickle cell disease patients at high risk of complications could lead to personalized treatment and better prognosis but despite many advances prediction of the clinical course of these patients remains elusive. We propose a system-type approach to discover profiles of multiple, common biomarkers that correlate with morbidity and mortality in sickle cell disease. We used cluste...

Long-Term Outcomes in the Management of Central Neuropathic Pain Syndromes: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study.
CONCLUSION: Patients with central neuropathic pain syndromes managed in tertiary care centers were less likely to achieve a meaningful improvement in pain and function compared with patients with peripheral neuropathic pain at 12-month follow-up. PMID: 29996953 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Influence of Microneedles on the Percutaneous Penetration of Selected Antihypertensive Agents: Diltiazem Hydrochloride and Perindopril Erbumine.
Abstract It is well documented in the scientific literature that high blood pressure can lead to cardiovascular disease. Untreated hypertension has clinical consequences such as coronary artery disease, stroke or kidney failure. Diltiazem hydrochloride (DH), a calcium-channel blocker, and perindopril erbumine (PE), an inhibitor of the angiotensin converting enzyme are used for the management of hypertension. This project will examine the effect of microneedle rollers on the transport of DH and PE across pig ear skin. The use of the transcutaneous route of administration reduces and in sometimes eliminates the trau...

Increased susceptibility of aging gastric mucosa to injury and delayed healing: Clinical implications.
Abstract In this editorial we comment on the article by Fukushi K et al published in the recent issue of the World Journal of Gastroenterology 2018; 24(34): 3908-3918. We focus specifically on the mechanisms of the anti-thrombotic action of aspirin, gastric mucosal injury and aging-related increased susceptibility of gastric mucosa to injury. Aspirin is widely used not only for the management of acute and chronic pain and arthritis, but also importantly for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarcts and strokes. Clinical trials have consistently shown that antiplatele...

Fool Me Once: An Uncommon Presentation of PE
​BY FREDDIE IRIZARRY-DELGADO; VAROON KAKAIYA; & AHMED RAZIUDDIN, MDAn 86-year-old African-American woman was brought to the ED by her daughter after two days of nutritional neglect, abdominal pain, and altered mental status. Her daughter said her mother felt lightheaded, appeared dehydrated, and vomited nonbilious watery fluid once. The patient had a history of diabetes mellitus type 2, DVT/PE, dementia, and early signs of parkinsonism.Her vital signs were remarkable only for tachypnea (24 bpm). Her troponin I was markedly elevated at 1.7 ng/mL. A D-dimer was ordered because of her history of unprovoked DVT/PE, and i...

Looking Past Dementia Reveals Hidden Life Threats
Conclusion Acute delirium is commonly underdiagnosed, and can be masked by chronic alterations in cognition and mentation. Delirium has many causes, and can be assessed using the acronym DELIRIUM. The most common presentations suggesting delirium over dementia are short-term memory loss, rapid fluctuation in condition, acute alteration, and a condition present that may be responsible for delirium. Management includes searching for causes of acute alteration in mental status, negating environmental factors of delirium, and—only when necessary—reducing the patient’s threat to themselves or providers by using butyrophen...

Predict and Prevent: The Emergence of Real-Time Sensor-Based Care
Technology industry veteran Eran Ofir knows there is a lot of luck involved in successfully bringing a new device, especially one designed to create a new treatment vector, to market. Ofir is the CEO and co-founder of New York-based Somatix, which uses wrist-worn sensor data to dynamically monitor a person's situation. Used in conjunction with cloud-based computing resources and a communications device, the technology is capable of dynamically helping someone quit smoking, through detecting smoking gestures and automatically sending messages to the user encouraging them not to smoke. "We got lucky on two fronts," Ofir said...

Electrical Stimulation in the Treatment of Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Conclusions Electrical stimulation may be an effective pain management methodology for hemiplegic shoulders and may contribute to pain-free range of external rotation as well as activities of daily living recovery. However, these results should be interpreted with caution, given the low number of selected studies and risk of potential bias.
