Disease-specific predictive formulas for energy expenditure in the dialysis population
(2014-04-28)
OBJECTIVE: Metabolic rate is poorly understood in advanced kidney disease because direct measurement is expensive and time-consuming. Predictive equations for resting energy expenditure (REE) are needed based on simple ...
Reversing the polarity of bipolar stimulation in deep brain stimulation for essential tremor : a theoretical explanation for a useful clinical intervention
(2014-01-02)
The quadripolar electrodes used for deep brain stimulation are designed to give flexibility in contact configuration, optimize therapeutic effect, and minimize side-effects. A patient with essential tremor did not tolerate ...
Movement speed is biased by prior experience
(2014-01-01)
How does the motor system choose the speed for any given movement? Many current models assume a process that finds the optimal balance between the costs of moving fast and the rewards of achieving the goal. Here, we show ...
Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with etanercept with reference to disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs : long-term safety and survival using prospective, observational data
(2014-01)
The objective of this study was to examine the long-term safety of etanercept (ETN) in comparison with conventional DMARDs in a large observational cohort of RA patients in the UK.
