Direct comparisons of effectiveness and safety of treatment with Apixaban, Dabigatran and rivaroxaban in atrial fibrillation

Introduction: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have been proven non-inferior or superior to warfarin in preventing stroke and systemic embolism, with a lower risk of major hemorrhage, in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). We sought to investigate whether effectiveness and safety differs among apixaban, rivaroxaban and dabigatran. Materials and methods: Patients with newly ini

Battle, Journey, Imprisonment and Burden : Patterns of metaphor use in blogs about living with advanced cancer

Background: The significance of metaphors for the experience of cancer has been the topic of extensive previous research, with "Battle" and "Journey" metaphors standing out as key. Adaptation to the patient's use of metaphor is generally believed to be an important aspect of person-centered care, especially in palliative care. The aim of this study was to investigate the use of metaphors in blogs

Survival of Patients With Angina Pectoris Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Intracoronary Pressure Wire Guidance

Background: Intracoronary pressure wire measurement of fractional flow reserve (FFR) provides decision-making guidance during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, limited data exist on the effect of FFR on long-term clinical outcomes in patients with stable angina pectoris. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the association between the usage of FFR and all-cause m

Association Between Soft Drink Consumption and Mortality in 10 European Countries

Importance: Soft drinks are frequently consumed, but whether this consumption is associated with mortality risk is unknown and has been understudied in European populations to date.Objective: To examine the association between total, sugar-sweetened, and artificially sweetened soft drink consumption and subsequent total and cause-specific mortality.Design, Setting, and Participants: This populatio

Immunogenetics of Parkinson's disease: Translational studies from rodents to humans

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease, characterized by a progressive lossof dopaminergic neurons (DN) in the substantia nigra (SN) that innervate the striatum (ST) and pathologicalaccumulation of alpha-synuclein (αsyn) protein in aggregates called Lewy bodies (LB) and Lewy neurites(LN). As a complex disease, PD presents a genetically heterogeneous origin. Mutations in si

Bone Traits Seem to Develop Also During the Third Decade in Life-Normative Cross-Sectional Data on 1083 Men Aged 18-28 Years

By identifying individuals with low peak bone mass (PBM) at young age, early targeted interventions to reduce future fracture risk could be possible. Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) is in many ways superior to the gold standard dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), as cortical and trabecular compartments as well as the volumetric density and bone structure can be examined sepa

Cardiovascular events associated with use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in chronic myeloid leukemia

Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have increased survival dramatically for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), but continuous administration of these drugs may elicit long-term toxicity. Objective: To investigate the incidence of vascular events in patients with CML treated with first-and second-generation TKIs. Design: Retrospective cohort study using nationwide population-b

Associations between maternal sense of coherence and controlling feeding practices : The importance of resilience and support in families of preschoolers

Sense of Coherence (SOC) measures an individual's positive, or salutogenic, orientation toward her/his capacities, environment, future, and life. SOC comprises three factors: comprehensibility (the sense of one's own life as ordered and understandable); manageability (the perception of available resources and skills to manage stressors); and meaningfulness (the overall sense that life is filled wi

Thyroid function and survival following breast cancer

Background: Thyroid function has been associated with breast cancer risk, and breast cancer cell growth and proliferation. It is not clear whether thyroid function affects prognosis following breast cancer but, if so, this could have an important clinical impact. The present study analysed prospectively collected measurements of free tri-iodothyronine (T3), free thyroxine (T4), thyroid-stimulating
