Cardiac Muscle Injury and Echocardiographic Plus Electrocardiographic Findings in Patients With 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19): A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: Myocardial injury has been described in coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19). Few studies have reported cardiovascular imaging data with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and electrocardiography (ECG) findings in COVID-19 patients, and their correlation with mortality.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study that included COVID-19 patients from March 2020 through February 2021 who had TTE and ECG during hospital admission.

Prevalence of Psychiatric Disorders Among Children and Adolescents in Child Welfare Custody Admitted to the Hospital: A Nationwide Inpatient Sample Analysis.

To assess the prevalence of psychiatric disorders among children and adolescents in child welfare custody admitted to the hospital. Data were collected from the 2016-2017 National Inpatient Sample of the US population of general hospital admissions. Data for patients aged 12-17 years who were in child welfare custody were obtained using the diagnosis code Z6221: child in welfare custody.

Prevalence of Substance use disorder among young adults hospitalized in the US hospital: A decade of change.

Introduction: Mental health disorders (MHD) and substance use disorders (SUD) lead to outstanding socioeconomic costs and increased hospital visits. However, very few studies have quantified this trend over time and across specific conditions. ​​Our study aims to investigate and compare the prevalence of MHDs and SUDs in hospitalizations between 2007 and 2017.

Pyo-pericardium secondary to bacteremia in intra-venous drug user.

Pyo-pericardium is a collection of purulent fluid in the pericardial sac. It is a rare finding seen in less than 1% of patients who develop acute pericarditis. The condition, though uncommon, has a mortality risk of 100% in untreated patients and 40% in treated patients.

A rare case of B cell lymphoblastic leukemia with inv(7)(p15q34) with review of literature.

The inv(7)(p15q34) chromosomal abnormality which juxtaposes part of the HOXA gene cluster on 7p15 to the TCRβ locus on 7q34, has been described in a subset of cases of T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia, but its presence in cases of B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia is virtually unknown. Herewith, we report a case of a B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia with inv(7)(p15q34). The patient received standard induction chemotherapy, which failed to produce remission.

MicroRNA dysregulation in manic and euthymic patients with bipolar disorder.

Background: Bipolar disorder (BPD) is a major psychiatric disorder with an unclear pathophysiology. Peripheral blood samples are easily drawn, making them are good candidates for diagnosing diseases. MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNA transcripts that regulate gene expression by binding to the 3'- UTR of mRNAs and directing their degradation.

Soil Water Sensor Performance and Corrections with Multiple Installation Orientations and Depths under Three Agricultural Irrigation Treatments.

Performance evaluations and corrections of soil water sensors have not been studied using different installation orientations under various irrigation treatments in the Texas High Plains. This study evaluated the performance of four sensors using factory calibration and derived field corrections as compared to calibrated neutron moisture meters (NMMs). Sensor performance was assessed using horizontal insertion, laid horizontal placement, and vertical insertion at 15.

Changes in neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios in postcardiac arrest patients treated with targeted temperature management.

Objective: The prognostic value of changes in neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios (NLR) in cardiac arrest survivors receiving targeted temperature management (TTM) is unknown. The current study investigated NLR in postcardiac arrest (PCA) patients undergoing TTM.

Methods: This retrospective single-center study included 95 patients (59 males, age: 55.

The Role of MicroRNAs in Breast Cancer.

Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women. Despite extensive study, the etiology of breast cancer remains ambiguous. A group of genetic modifiers known as microRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging onto the scene of breast cancer research.
