There is a significant increase in apoptosis in diabetic wounds with poorly controlled blood sugar and microangiopathy. This increase was greater in patients on OHAs than those on insulin, and it contributes to delayed wound healing. Morphological markers do not appear to be a reliable index of apoptosis in the diabetic wound.
cEEG monitoring provides independent prognostic information in patients with altered sensorium and suspected seizures. Unfavorable findings include nonconvulsive seizures, periodic epileptiform discharges and abnormal background. Short term EEG is ineffective in detecting seizures on EEG in patients with altered sensorium and should not be used as substitute for Long term EEG.
Stroke CPs reduce the incidence of aspiration pneumonia, the need for mechanical ventilation, and the risk of death, when assessed at a follow-up of 90 days.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
