  We modelled how the loss of health-care workers—defined here as doctors, nurses, and midwives—to Ebola might affect maternal, infant, and under-5 mortality in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, with the aim of characterising the order of magnitude of likely effects, not providing specific prediction

  It\'s that time of year again when we ask readers to submit photographs for our annual Highlights photography competition. We are looking for striking images that arrest our attention about any topic in medicine, from global health to clinical medicine, from the individual person to populations.

  2019-05-10

  

  A critical link exists between awareness of risk, the presence of disease, and steps taken by the patient and clinician to change the natural history of disease. Chronic illnesses such as diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia, anaemia and a multitude of endocrinological and rheumatological diseases are r

  Most spinal schwannomas derived from Schwann glycine receptors along the dorsal sensory roots involve radicular pain as the most common initial symptom. However, symptoms may be subtle and progress slowly over time, owing to the slow-growing nature of these tumors. In our case, it\'s more difficult

  2019-05-09

  

  Lead failures are classified as either structural lead failures or electrical lead failures, and failures of 8F single coil leads are more frequently reported. Structural failures occur with a reported incidence of 14–34% and are evident as cable exteriorization in fluoroscopy studies [6,7]. Electri

  Clearly there are limitations to the current study. These include the single centre, retrospective nature of the study as well as its relatively small sample size compared with the randomised data. However, the duration of follow up is considerably longer than these trials (Table 1). In conclusion,

  Despite a substantial reduction in global maternal deaths due to postpartum haemorrhage between 1990 and 2013 (from 71 295 to 44 190), this condition continues to be the main cause of maternal mortality worldwide. In sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia, many women still deliver at home without a skill

  Discussion Catheter ablation has played an increasingly important role in controlling VT episodes in patients with structural gaba receptor disease who have an ICD [6–10]. LPs recorded at an endocardial ventricular site reflect slow conduction into a protected zone. Strategies for the successful

  The patient started FOLFOX chemotherapy at another institute on September 14, 2015. However, he suddenly lost consciousness and his blood pressure plummeted; the electrocardiogram monitor showed ventricular tachycardia. After cardiopulmonary resuscitation, he regained spontaneous circulation and was

  2019-05-09

  

  Moore et al., in a study of 40 patients with sarcoidosis and musculoskeletal symptoms, found intramedullary bone lesions on MRI in 43% of patients (17/40) [5]. The lesions ranged in size from 1 to 4cm. Lesions of the large bones and irak inhibitor were present in 33% of patients (13/40), 9 of which

  An enhanced T wave suppression mode was very effective to manage TWOS and was able to detect induced and spontaneous VF correctly. On the other hand, it has been reported that Biotronik devices connected to integrated bipolar ICD leads from other manufacturers had an increased risk for oversensing [

  Good news from the Americas illuminated the global health scene in September. As the Ministers of Health from the western hemisphere gathered in Washington, DC, USA, for PAHO\'s 55th Directing Council, a series of announcements confirmed the New World\'s role as a pioneer of sorts in disease prevent

  The majority of breast malignancies are hormone responsive, and adjuvant endocrine therapy is used routinely to prevent breast cancer recurrence and death [6,7]. Tamoxifen was the past treatment of choice for endocrine-responsive postmenopausal breast cancer and was found to preserve BMD in postmeno

  Introduction Catheter ablation of accessory pathways (APs) can be challenging depending on the location of the AP. Anteroseptal APs are rare but associated with lower success rates and higher incidence of atrioventricular (AV) block [1,2]. Data regarding the electrocardiographic and electrophysiolo

  Estas ideas permanecieron vigentes durante mucho tiempo antes de la revolución científica desatada por el racionalismo.
