Nutritional status at admission of children with cancer in Malawi.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Malnutrition at diagnosis is found in 10-50% of children with cancer in industrialized countries. In developing countries a large proportion of the normal paediatric population is undernourished and children with cancer often present ... Read more...

Arm raising at exposure-controlled multidetector trauma CT of thoracoabdominal region: higher image quality, lower radiation dose.

30 Oct 2008 PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of arm position on image quality and effective radiation dose in an automatic exposure-controlled (AEC) multidetector thoracoabdominal computed tomography (CT) protocol in trauma patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This ... Read more...

The brachial artery-brachial vein fistula: expanding the possibilities for autogenous fistulae.

30 Oct 2008 OBJECTIVE: The National Kidney Foundation Dialysis Outcomes and Quality Initiative recommends autogenous access for new dialysis procedures. The patient requiring hemodialysis with inadequate superficial arm veins represents a formidable challenge ... Read more...
