Decisional conflict and regret: consequences of surrogate decision making for the chronically critically ill.

Applied nursing research : ANR

Hickman RL, Daly BJ, Lee E.
PMID: 21658906
Appl Nurs Res. 2012 Nov;25(4):271-5. doi: 10.1016/j.apnr.2011.03.003. Epub 2011 Jun 11.

Decisional conflict may predispose surrogate decision makers (SDMs) of the chronically critically ill (CCI) to making health care decisions that are not aligned with the patient's health care preferences and increase the SDM's likelihood of experiencing decision regret. This...

Simulation Based Design and Evaluation of a Transcatheter Mitral Heart Valve Frame.

Journal of medical devices

Young M, Erdemir A, Stucke S, Klatte R, Davis B, Navia JL.
PMID: 23372624
J Med Device. 2012 Sep;6(3):31005-31012. doi: 10.1115/1.4007182.

In certain populations, open heart surgery to replace a diseased mitral valve is not an option, leaving percutaneous delivery a viable alternative. However, a surgical transcatheter based delivery of a metallic support frame incorporating a tissue derived valve puts...

Age, comorbidity and functional status influence end-of-life decisions in critical illness, while nationality, ethnicity and clinician experience influence the agressiveness of medical care.

Argininosuccinate Synthetase 1 Loss in Invasive Bladder Cancer Regulates Survival through General Control Nonderepressible 2 Kinase-Mediated Eukaryotic Initiation Factor 2α Activity and Is Targetable by Pegylated Arginine Deiminase.

The American journal of pathology

Sahu D, Gupta S, Hau AM, Nakashima K, Leivo MZ, Searles SC, Elson P, Bomalaski JS, Casteel DE, Boss GR, Hansel DE.
PMID: 27979310
Am J Pathol. 2017 Jan;187(1):200-213. doi: 10.1016/j.ajpath.2016.09.004. Epub 2016 Dec 09.

Loss of argininosuccinate synthetase 1 (ASS1), a key enzyme for arginine synthesis, occurs in many cancers, making cells dependent on extracellular arginine and targetable by the arginine-degrading enzyme pegylated arginine deiminase (ADI-PEG 20). We evaluated ASS1 expression and effects...

How Adolescent Girls Understand and Manage Depression Within Their Peer Group: A Grounded Theory Investigation.

School mental health

Pinto-Foltz MD, Hines-Martin V, Logsdon MC.
PMID: 20689677
School Ment Health. 2010 Mar 01;2(1):36-43. doi: 10.1007/s12310-009-9024-7.

Depression is prevalent among adolescent girls, but few receive mental health treatment. Adolescent girls often forgo needed mental health treatment because they fear responses of peers about depression. Understanding the processes of how adolescent girls respond to peers with...

The engagement of patients with their health care providers (HCP) improves patients' quality of life (QOL), adherence to antiretroviral therapy, and life satisfaction. Engagement with HCP includes access to HCP as needed, information sharing, involvement of client in decision...

Defining genetic determinants of the Metabolic Syndrome in the Framingham Heart Study using association and structural equation modeling methods.

BMC proceedings

Nock NL, Wang X, Thompson CL, Song Y, Baechle D, Raska P, Stein CM, Gray-McGuire C.
PMID: 20018043
BMC Proc. 2009 Dec 15;3:S50. doi: 10.1186/1753-6561-3-s7-s50.

The Metabolic Syndrome (MetSyn), which is a clustering of traits including insulin resistance, obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemia, is estimated to have a substantial genetic component, yet few specific genetic targets have been identified. Factor analysis, a sub-type of structural...

Comparison of affected sibling-pair linkage methods to identify gene x gene interaction in GAW15 simulated data.

BMC proceedings

Larkin EK, Morris NJ, Li Y, Nock NL, Stein CM.

Non-parametric linkage methods have had limited success in detecting gene by gene interactions. Using affected sibling-pair (ASP) data from all replicates of the simulated data from Problem 3, we assessed the statistical power of three approaches to identify the...
