Pressure autoregulation, intracranial pressure, and brain tissue oxygenation in children with severe traumatic brain injury.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Cerebral pressure autoregulation is an important neuroprotective mechanism that stabilizes cerebral blood flow when blood pressure (BP) changes. In this study the authors examined the association between autoregulation and clinical factors, ... Read more...

Outcomes, health policy, and managed care: relationships between patient-reported outcome measures and clinical measures in outpatients with heart failure.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Patient-reported outcomes are increasingly used to assess the efficacy of new treatments. Understanding relationships between these and clinical measures can facilitate their interpretation. We examined associations between ... Read more...

Relationship of age and exercise performance in patients with heart failure: the HF-ACTION study.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: More than three fourths of patients with heart failure (HF) are 65 years and older, and older age is associated with worse symptoms and prognoses than is younger age. Reduced exercise capacity is a chief HF complaint and indicates poorer ... Read more...
