PREDICTORS OF SWITCHING FROM NONSTEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS TO CORTICOSTEROIDS IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE PERICARDITIS AND IMPACT ON CLINICAL OUTCOME

Background: Aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (A/NSAIDs) are the mainstay treatments for acute pericarditis.We sought to identify factors predicting failure of A/NSAIDs and switch to corticosteroid treatment (STCT) as well as the impact of STCT on pericarditis recurrence.Methods: We enrolled 148 patients with acute pericarditis recei

The vagina contains at least a billion microbial cells, dominated by lactobacilli.Here we perform metagenomic shotgun sequencing on cervical and fecal samples from a cohort of 516 Chinese women of reproductive age, as well as cervical, fecal, and salivary samples from a second cohort of 632 women.Factors such as pregnancy history, delivery history,

The VERDI time-of-flight spectrometer is dedicated to measurements of fission product yields and of prompt neutron emission data.Pre-neutron fission-fragment masses will be determined by the double time-of-flight (TOF) technique.For this purpose an excellent time resolution is required.The time of flight of the fragments will be measured by electro

The area at the tail MOSA replacement parts end of Fuhe River has an important economic and social status and ecological protection needs.Its water level change is directly related to the water security of this region.Based on the daily average water level observation data of three hydrologic stations in the end of Fuhe River in the past 70 years,

Space debris is rapidly becoming a real challenge Food Service:Commercial Kitchen Equipment:Other Commercial Kitchen Equipment and a serious threat for satellites and spacecraft motion.Most of these debris moves so fast, especially in the low earth orbits (LEOs) and so quickly that these debris can collide and penetrate the structure of the spacecr
