Background: Numerous studies have found that patients experiencing sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL), with or without accompanying vertigo, often show impaired vestibular function. However, there is a dearth of studies analyzing vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) in SSHL patients across various age groups.
Aim: To investigate vestibular condition in SSHL patients across various age demographics.
Introduction: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) severity scores perform well in predicting mortality of CAP patients, but their applicability in influenza pneumonia is powerless.
Objectives: The aim of our research was to test the efficiency of PO /FiO and CAP severity scores in predicting mortality and intensive care unit (ICU) admission with influenza pneumonia patients.
Methods: We reviewed all patients with positive influenza virus RNA detection in Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital during the 2009-2014 influenza seasons.
Aim: To investigate the expression and prognostic value of CCL2 in gastric cancer, as well as its relationship with tumor hypoxia.
Methods: Tumor tissues from 68 gastric cancer patients (GC) were analyzed, and the expression of CCL2 and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) in tumor tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. Statistical evaluations that were used included univariate log-rank tests of Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariate Cox regression model analysis.
