Early cell loss associated with mesenchymal stem cell cardiomyoplasty
(2012-03-01)Background: Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) show potential for therapeutic cellular cardiomyoplasty. However, a range of delivery methods, including direct intramyocardial injection, have resulted in poor engraftment ... -
Early Mobility in the Hospital: Lessons Learned from the STRIDE Program
(2018-09-26)Immobility during hospitalization is widely recognized as a contributor to deconditioning, functional loss, and increased need for institutional post-acute care. Several studies have demonstrated that inpatient walking ... -
The EBM-DPSER Conceptual Model: Integrating Ecosystem Services into the DPSIR Framework
(2013-08)There is a pressing need to integrate biophysical and human dimensions science to better inform holistic ecosystem management supporting the transition from single species or single-sector management to multi-sector ... -
Economic Impact of Early‑in‑Hospital Diagnosis and Initiation of Eculizumab in Atypical Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome
(2019-12-12)Background Atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare, potentially life-threatening condition caused by dysregulation of the complement pathway. Eculizumab is currently the only approved treatment for this ... -
The economic value of rapid deployment aortic valve replacement via full sternotomy
(2017-04-04)Aim: To compare the economic value of EDWARDS INTUITY EliteTM (EIE) valve system for rapid-deployment aortic valve replacement (RDAVR) in a full sternotomy (FS) approach (EIE-FS-RDAVR) versus FS-AVR using conventional ... -

Educational engagement and the environment: Investigating service learning in the nonhuman sciences
(2014)Classic definitions outline service learning as engaging students in experiential education where learning goals are reached when service activities are combined with reflective assignments. In an effort to integrate ... -
The Effect of Casein Protein Prior to Sleep on Fat Metabolism in Obese Men
(2016-07)We have previously shown that ingesting protein at night before sleep is either beneficial or non-detrimental to metabolism, health, and body composition in obese women. However, the overnight protein-induced lipolytic ... -
The Effect of Grain Size on Porewater Radiolysis
(2022-05-16)The radiolysis of porewaters by uranium, thorium, and potassium in mineral grains is a recognized source of molecular hydrogen in rock-hosted and sediment-hosted fluids. This radiolytic hydrogen is of geomicrobiological ... -
Effect of High-Dose Vitamin C Infusion in a Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase-Deficient Patient
(2017-11-26)Vitamin C supplementation is generally regarded as benign. There has been a resurgence of interest in the general medical community regarding the use of vitamin C most notably in the care of sepsis. Nonetheless, caution ... -
Effect of Increased Damping in Subordinate Oscillator Arrays
(2018)Previous literature has shown that large structures with a significant number of smaller attached structures exhibit much higher apparent damping than was predicted by models. Further research into this effect led to the ... -
The effect of race and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on long-term survival after coronary artery bypass grafting
(2013-04)Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a known predictor of decreased long-term survival after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Differences in survival by race have not been examined. Methods: ... -
