Somatosensory evoked potentials during mild hypothermia after cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Nov 2009 OBJECTIVE: In patients who remain in a coma after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the bilateral absence of cortical N20 responses of median nerve somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) 24 hours after admission invariably correlates with a poor ... Read more...

Inclusion of parents in pediatric subspecialty team rounds: attitudes of the family and medical team.

30 Oct 2009 The importance of the family's involvement in caring for children with cancer is as tremendous as the need to successfully educate our medical students and residents about the value of effective communication and family-centered care. This article ... Read more...

Is the QuantiFERON-TB blood assay a good replacement for the tuberculin skin test in tuberculosis screening? a pilot study at Berkshire Medical Center.

30 Oct 2009 The QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube method (QFT-GIT; Cellestis, Carnegie, Australia) is a recently US Food and Drug Administration-approved interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) for the detection of tuberculosis infection, which has been screened for by ... Read more...
