Predicting Unplanned Readmissions to the Intensive Care Unit in the Trauma Population.

Unplanned readmission to intensive care units (UR-ICU) in trauma is associated with increased hospital length of stay and significant morbidity and mortality. We identify independent predictors of UR-ICU and construct a nomogram to estimate readmission probability. We performed an IRB-approved retrospective case-control study at a Level I trauma center between January 2019 and December 2021.

Coronary Artery Calcification and Risk of Cardiac Complication in Geriatric Trauma Population.

Background: Better means of identifying patients with increased cardiac complication (CC) risk is needed. Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is reported on routine chest CT scans. We assessed the correlation of CAC and CCs in the geriatric trauma population.

Effect of sous-vide cooking conditions on the physicochemical, microbiological and microstructural properties of duck breast meat.

Objective: Sous-vide cooking offers several advantages for poultry meat, including enhanced tenderness, reduced cooking loss, and improved product yield. However, in duck meat, there are challenges associated with using the sous-vide method. The prolonged cooking time at low temperatures can lead to unstable microbial and oxidative stabilities.

The Combined Effects of Hydraulic Calcium Silicate Cement and Enamel Matrix Derivative Regarding Osteogenic and Dentinogenic Differentiation on Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells.

The ideal treatment option for immature necrotic permanent teeth is regeneration of the pulp-dentin complex. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), the conventional cement used for regenerative endodontic procedures, induces hard tissue repair. Various hydraulic calcium silicate cements (HCSCs) and enamel matrix derivative (EMD) also promote osteoblast proliferation.
