In-Training Practice Patterns of Combined Emergency Medicine/Internal Medicine Residents, 2003–2007
(2011-11)
Introduction
This study seeks to evaluate the practice patterns of current combined emergency medicine/internal medicine (EM/IM) residents during their training and compare them to the typical practice patterns of EM/IM ...
Recent research on Gulf War illness and other health problems in veterans of the 1991 Gulf War: Effects of toxicant exposures during deployment
(2015-12)
Veterans of Operation Desert Storm/Desert Shield - the 1991 Gulf War (GW) - are a unique population who returned from theater with multiple health complaints and disorders. Studies in the U.S. and elsewhere have consistently ...
Correlation of the National Emergency Medicine M4 Clerkship Examination with USMLE Examination Performance
(2015-12)
NTRODUCTION:
Assessment of medical students' knowledge in clinical settings is complex yet essential to the learning process. Clinical clerkships use various types of written examinations to objectively test medical ...
Transvaginal evisceration progressing to peritonitis in the emergency department: a case report
(2011)
Background
Abdominal pain is a common complaint among emergency department patients, making it essential to identify those with life-threatening etiologies. We report on the rare finding of atraumatic transvaginal bowel ...
Neurogenic switching: a hypothesis for a mechanism for shifting the site of inflammation in allergy and chemical sensitivity.
(East Carolina University, 1995-01)
Neurogenic switching is proposed as a hypothesis for a mechanism by which a stimulus at one site can lead to inflammation at a distant site. Neurogenic inflammation occurs when substance P and other neuropeptides released ...
Agmatine reverses pain induced by inflammation, neuropathy, and spinal cord injury
(East Carolina University, 2000-09-12)
Antagonists of glutamate receptors of the N-methyl-D-aspartate subclass (NMDAR) or inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) prevent nervous system plasticity. Inflammatory and neuropathic pain rely on plasticity, presenting ...
Hypothesis for induction and propagation of chemical sensitivity based on biopsy studies.
(East Carolina University, 1997-03)
The reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS), the reactive upper airways dysfunction
syndrome (RUDS), the sick building syndrome (SBS), and the multiple chemical sensitivity
syndrome (MCS) are overlapping disorders ...
Neurogenic inflammation and sensitivity to environmental chemicals.
(East Carolina University, 1993-08)
Neurogenic inflammation as a pathway distinct from antigen-driven, immune-mediated inflammation may play a pivotal role in understanding a broad class of environmental health problems resulting from chemical exposures. ...
