Objective: To evaluate associations between Mallampati and Brodsky classification and children's risk for sleep related breathing disorder (SRBD).

Study Design: This study recruited well-children 2-11 years old and legal guardians over 18 years from a community dental clinic. Modified Mallampati classification (IIV) and Brodsky grade (0-4) were classified by a single dentist.

Comparative Efficacy of Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Inhibitors in Ankylosing Spondylitis: A Systematic Review and Bayesian Network Metaanalysis.

J Rheumatol

April 2018

From Columbia University Medical Center, New York; National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bethesda, Maryland, USA.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of 6 tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors (TNFi) in treatment of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) at 12 weeks and 24 weeks.

Methods: We performed a systematic literature review of randomized controlled trials of TNFi in patients with active AS. We included trials that reported efficacy at 10 to 14 weeks (12-week analysis) and at 24 to 30 weeks (24-week analysis).

Patterns of Sedentary Behavior and Mortality in U.S. Middle-Aged and Older Adults: A National Cohort Study.

Ann Intern Med

October 2017

From Columbia University Medical Center and Weill Cornell Medical Center, New York, New York; University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama; University of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina; University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan; Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina; and Arizona State University, Phoenix, Arizona.

Background: Excessive sedentary time is ubiquitous in Western societies. Previous studies have relied on self-reporting to evaluate the total volume of sedentary time as a prognostic risk factor for mortality and have not examined whether the manner in which sedentary time is accrued (in short or long bouts) carries prognostic relevance.

Objective: To examine the association between objectively measured sedentary behavior (its total volume and accrual in prolonged, uninterrupted bouts) and all-cause mortality.

Objective: To investigate the effects of medical vs interventional management on functional outcome in A Randomized Trial of Unruptured Brain Arteriovenous Malformations (ARUBA).

Methods: We used the initial results of a nonblinded, randomized, controlled, parallel-group trial involving adults ≥18 years of age with an unruptured brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) to compare the effects of medical management (MM) with or without interventional therapy (IT) on functional impairment, defined by a primary outcome of death or symptomatic stroke causing modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ≥2. ARUBA closed recruitment on April 15, 2013.

Background: Thrombosis is a common source of failure in anastomoses, flaps, and vascular grafts. Ensuring vessel patency is critical to the success of microvascular procedures. Any tool that can accurately predict the patency of an anastomosis intraoperatively would enable the surgeon to detect and correct flow restrictions while the patient is still in the operating room.

Addressing Common Questions Encountered in the Diagnosis and Management of Cardiac Amyloidosis.

Circulation

April 2017

From Columbia University Medical Center, New York, NY (M.S.M.); University College London and St. Bartholomew's Hospital, UK (P.E.); Tufts Medical Center, Boston, MA (R.C.); Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard University, Boston (M.S.); and Department of Experimental, Diagnostic and Specialty Medicine, Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna, Italy (C.R.).

Advances in cardiac imaging have resulted in greater recognition of cardiac amyloidosis in everyday clinical practice, but the diagnosis continues to be made in patients with late-stage disease, suggesting that more needs to be done to improve awareness of its clinical manifestations and the potential of therapeutic intervention to improve prognosis. Light chain cardiac amyloidosis, in particular, if recognized early and treated with targeted plasma cell therapy, can be managed very effectively. For patients with transthyretin amyloidosis, there are numerous therapies that are currently in late-phase clinical trials.

Randomized Evaluation of Carotid Occlusion and Neurocognition (RECON) trial: main results.

Neurology

March 2014

From Columbia University Medical Center (R.S.M., Y.-K.C., M.A.P., K.S., R.M.L.), New York; St. Luke's Roosevelt Medical Center New York (J.R.F.), New York; NINDS (Y.-K.C.), Bethesda, MD; Washington University (C.P.D., T.O.V., R.L.G.), St. Louis, MO; University of Iowa (W.R.C.), Iowa City; and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (W.J.P.).

Objective: To determine whether extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass can improve cognition over 2 years compared to best medical therapy alone in patients with symptomatic internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion and increased oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) on PET.

Methods: Patients underwent (15)O PET and were randomized if OEF ratio was >1.13 on the occluded side.
