Newest firstThe Cannabis Use Disorders Identification Test-Revised (CUDIT-R) is an eight-item screening tool designed to identify problematic cannabis use. The present study intended to assess the psychometric properties of the measure in a youth sample. N = 76 participants completed the CUDIT-R and a measure of cannabis consumption. All participants underwent an assessment for a current cannabis use disorder using the Struct…
Open article record in new tab ↗AimsTo evaluate the external validity of Finnish diabetes risk score (FINDRISC) and Latin American FINDRISC (LAFINDRISC) for undiagnosed dysglycemia in hospital health care workers. MethodsWe carried out a cross-sectional study on health workers without a prior history of diabetes mellitus (DM). Undiagnosed dysglycemia (prediabetes or diabetes mellitus) was defined using fasting glucose and two-hour oral glucose t…
Diagnosing distal bile duct obstruction remains challenging. This study aimed to examine the diagnostic ability of artificial intelligence (AI) based on clinical biomarkers in diagnosing malignant distal bile duct obstruction. A total of 206 patients with distal bile duct obstruction were included in this study. Clinical laboratory parameters were collected from the patients and evaluated using AI. All clinical pa…
Purpose Diagnosing corticobasal degeneration (CBD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is often difficult due to the wide variety of symptoms and overlaps in the similar clinical courses and neurological findings. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of white matter (WM) atrophy for the diagnosis of patients with clinically diagnosed CBD (corticobasal syndrome, CBS) and PSP (Richardson's synd…
To find whether the plasma fibronectin (FN) molecular status can be useful to differentiate between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The expression of plasma FN domains was determined by ELISA using monoclonal domain-specific antibodies. FN molecular forms were revealed by immunoblotting and analyzed by densitometry. The following findings were found: (1) Mean values of (Fibrin-Hep…
Open article record in new tab ↗Objective Differentiating idiopathic Parkinson's disease from atypical parkinsonian syndromes is challenging, especially in the early stages. We assessed whether the Revised Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination (ACE-R) could differentiate between parkinsonian syndromes and reflect longitudinal changes in cognition in these disorders. Methods The ACE-R was administered at baseline and after approximately 18 months t…
Background In cultured prostate cancer cells, down-regulation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been implicated in mediating the antiproliferative effect of the endogenous cannabinoid (CB) ligand anandamide. Using a well-characterised cohort of prostate cancer patients, we have previously reported that expression levels of phosphorylated EGFR (pEGFR-IR) and CB(1) receptor (CB(1)IR) in tumour tissue at…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background The ability to accurately predict operative duration has the potential to optimise theatre efficiency and utilisation, thus reducing costs and increasing staff and patient satisfaction. With laparoscopic cholecystectomy being one of the most commonly performed procedures worldwide, a tool to predict operative duration could be extremely beneficial to healthcare organisations. Methods Data collected from…
