Ambient particulate air pollution and ectopy--the environmental epidemiology of arrhythmogenesis in Women's Health Initiative Study, 1999-2004.

30 Dec 2008 The relationships between ambient PM(2.5) and PM(10) and arrhythmia and the effect modification by cigarette smoking were investigated. Data from U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) air quality monitors and an established national-scale, ... Read more...

Patchy villous atrophy in adult patients with suspected gluten-sensitive enteropathy: is a multiple duodenal biopsy strategy appropriate?

3 Dec 2008 BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: The current internationally accepted gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease is a small-bowel biopsy demonstrating villous atrophy. However, it has been suggested that the diagnosis might not be considered as ... Read more...

Validation of quality indicators for radical prostatectomy.

29 Nov 2008 The feasibility and validity of proposed radical prostatectomy quality indicators has not been well studied. We assessed indicator availability from treating charts. We tested the convergent construct validity of a modified subset that were ... Read more...
