Cook Medical’s heritage of innovation began decades ago in 1963 when our founder, Bill Cook, developed the fine art of listening—listening to physicians and identifying what they needed to get patients back to living better lives. Our heritage of collaborating with physician pioneers has led to...
terms of payment that are difficult for offenders to satisfy. It is a well-known fact that the power of detectives to detain suspects generally varies from one country to another[2,3,6,13,14]. In some countries, like the United Kingdom (UK), the police have special powers to detain ...
Other covariates include time and interaction terms between intervention dummies and time. To provide mean and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the estimated incremental costs, we will use bootstrapping. The same strategy can be applied to incremental effectiveness and incremental cost-effectiveness ...
The primary aim of the study were to evaluate the effectiveness of a multifactorial intervention in terms of improved systolic blood pressure control in participants with co-existing diabetes and chronic kidney disease. Secondary aims were to determine the effectiveness of the intervention on medication...

In terms of prescribed medication after index PCI, the statin user group used aspirin, P2Y12 inhibitor, and angiotensin receptor blocker more frequently (P < 0.01, P = 0.01, P < 0.01, respectively); however, the non-statin user group had a higher rate of diuretics and ...
In these studies, humor has often been operationalized in terms of trait humor (sense of humor) or in terms of an instantaneous humorous intervention. Stress, on the other hand, has been either assessed by subjective reports (psychological stress) or by biomarkers, such as heart rate or skin...
We used interaction terms between each subgroup variable and group assignment (intervention or control) to examine whether the intervention effects varied by subgroups. We defined overweight/obesity using the Chinese reference values in the main analyses and the WHO reference values in the sensitivity ...
56 In established type 2 diabetes, the frequency of peer contact is a key feature of effectiveness in terms of glycemic change.57 The framework in which the NDPS DPM operated was also highly supportive and structured within a multidisciplinary diabetes prevention team, one of the more effective ...
In particular, we apply the image gradient tensor for mining informative skeletons from the original image and a sequence of descriptors for capturing the characteristic pattern of contractions. Fea- tures extracted from the endoluminal images were evaluated in terms of their discriminatory ability in ...
