- Physical inactivity is associated with a higher risk for severe COVID . . .
Objectives To compare hospitalisation rates, intensive care unit (ICU) admissions and mortality for patients with COVID-19 who were consistently inactive, doing some activity or consistently meeting physical activity guidelines Methods We identified 48 440 adult patients with a COVID-19 diagnosis from 1 January 2020 to 21 October 2020, with at least three exercise vital sign measurements from
- Cohort profile: AMBulatoRy blOod preSsure in older adults . . . - BMJ Open
Purpose The AMBulatoRy blOod preSsure In older Adults (AMBROSIA) study cohort was designed to determine whether ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring (ABPM) is useful for identifying older adults with hypertension taking antihypertensive medication who are at increased risk for falls The association of home BP monitoring (HBPM) with falls was assessed in an ancillary study (AMBROSIA-HOME
- Effective CAR T- cell targeting of an MUC1 cleavage product
ABSTRACT Background We developed Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells targeting mucin 1 (MUC1)* (muk * (muk 1 star)), which is the tumor- associated growth factor receptor form of MUC1 Our antibody, MNC2, uniquely binds to MUC1* on cancer cells but does not bind to full- length MUC1, which is expressed on all normal epithelial cells We tested the ability of the Tyr to Phe mutations in

Conclusions Completeness of cause- of- injury coding improved since the adoption of ICD- 10- CM coding and increased slightly over the study period at most sites However, significant variation remained, and completeness of cause- of- injury coding in any diagnosis data used for injury prevention planning should be empirically determined
