- * The model evaluated data from 914 suspected COVID-19 pneumonia cases, assessing variables like epidemiological features, clinical symptoms, and imaging results.
- * Results showed the model had a high accuracy of 87%, a sensitivity of 83.82%, and specificity of 89.57%, indicating its effectiveness for early detection and treatment of COVID-19 pneumonia.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a fast screening model to early detect novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) in a population from Zhejiang, China.
- It involved 880 individuals suspected of having NCP and utilized various predictors like epidemiological data, clinical signs, and lab results, achieving a high accuracy of 0.920.
- The developed models showed strong sensitivity and specificity, proving to be practical and cost-effective tools for predicting NCP early, especially amid a widespread outbreak.
Purpose: To evaluate the complications and the treatment results of SmartPlug-related complications.
Methods: Retrospective review of all patients from a single medical hospital who received SmartPlug (Medennium, Inc., Irvine, CA) insertions from October 2007 to February 2014.
Purpose: To evaluate whether lyophilized human platelet lysate (HPL) powder can preserve the growth factor concentrations and epitheliotrophic properties of liquid HPL, and potentially be used as a clinically-friendly treatment option.
Methods: Two commercialized liquid HPLs, UltraGRO TM (Helios, Atlanta, GA) and PLTMax (Mill Creek, Rochester, MI), were obtained and converted to lyophilized powder. After redissolution, lyophilized powder HPLs were compared with liquid HPLs, as well as human peripheral serum (HPS) and fetal bovine serum (FBS) in liquid or redissolved lyophilized powder forms.
Purpose: Autologous serum eye drops are considered safe and efficient for the treatment of various ocular surface disorders, including dry eye diseases (DED) caused by the primary and secondary Sjogren syndrome (SS). However, the serum components in patients of SS may be different from those of normal patients and can thus lead to unpredictable therapeutic effects. This study divided the SS patients into active and inactive types based on the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and the presence or absence of active rheumatoid arthritis.

Methods: We enrolled 191 patients in various stages of HBV infection at the Huashan Hospital and the Taizhou Municipal Hospital from 2010 to 2012. None of the patients received antiviral therapy.
