Perioperative Management of Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting: A Quality Improvement Project
(2023-12-06)Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is an adverse event affecting 30% of the general surgical population and up to 80% of high risk patients. In addition to being distressing to patients, PONV is also associated with ... -
Perioperative Temperature Monitoring and Management to Maximize Patient Safety: A Quality Improvement Project
(2022-11-23)Appropriate temperature monitoring and management is an important part in optimizing patient success in the operative theatre. Perioperative hypothermia remains a threat to patient morbidity and mortality and consistent ... -
Peripheral Arterial Disease and Risk of Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke: The Multi�Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
(2014-12)Background Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) shares several risk factors with atrial fibrillation (AF), and persons with PAD have an increased risk of stroke. It is unclear if PAD is associated with an increased risk for ... -
Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma Deficiency Promotes a T Lymphocyte Response in a Murine Model of Chronic Pulmonary Sarcoidosis
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-03)Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Previous studies from our lab have shown a deficiency of the nuclear transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR[gamma]) ... -
Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-γ Regulates the Expression of Alveolar Macrophage Macrophage Colony- Stimulating Factor
(East Carolina University, 2008-07-01)Macrophage CSF (M-CSF) regulates monocyte differentiation, activation, and foam cell formation. We have observed that it is elevated in human pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) and in the GMCSF knockout mouse, a murine ... -
Persistent akathisia masquerading as agitated depression after use of ziprasidone in the treatment of bipolar depression
