For example, "medication s̅ food" means the medication should be taken without food. May also be abbreviated “w/o”. s/p, sp: Status post (Latin: status post). Indicates a condition or procedure that occurred in the past, such as after surgery or an event. Best practice: Spell ...

Catabolic insufficiency in humans leads to the gradual accumulation of a number of pathogenic compounds associated with age-related diseases, including atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and macular degeneration. Removal of these compounds is a widely
There are two ways we will describe how the confounder approach can isolateβ. First, we need to find a set of variablesXsuch that conditional ignorability,D⊥⊥Y(0),Y(1)|Xis achieved. Alternatively, we need to condition upon variablesXsuch that all “backdoor” paths fromDtoYare blocked...
This means that the appreciation of the model is highly dependent on the choice of the validation data. For example, validating the model in the IMASH (0.52), Leeds (0.66), or the ISAT cluster (0.68) would indicate poor to moderate discrimination. Contrarily, the reference mean c-statistic...
associated comorbidities. However, these need to be first validated by clinical studies and prove their efficacy in predicting the degree of the disease’s severity and long-term effects. Table 4 List of potential biomarkers to predict the COVID disease short- and long-term outcomes (reprinted ...
Another name for this scenario is that there is “endogeneity” or correlation ofDwith the error term. This is because\(\phi _i = \beta _U + \epsilon _i\), which is correlated withDand\(E[\phi _i|D,X] \ne 0\). IV methods will identify a re-characterized treatment,\(D_{IV}...
doi:10.1007/s00455-017-9825-z Nutrition, Dysphagia, Elderly The current study expanded on the past work examining tongue pressures in the long-term care population. Six hundred thirty-nine participants were given a battery of swallowing screenings, including tongue strength measures using the IOPI...
(1) In the middle of the amyloid chain, α-secretase cleaves APP, producing soluble APP α or shorter Aβ species when further cleaved by β-secretase [9,31]. The term "non-amyloidogenic pathway" refers to this process (Fig.3). In contrast, in the second pathway (2), the N- and...
It is conceivable that the rapid metabolism of LCLs, along with the short half-life of ROS, led to a rapid turnover of oxidative species, masking the direct increase of intracellular ROS but leaving long-term by-products in the form of peroxidated lipids. Lipid peroxidation of cell membrane...
