Abdominal surgery in very low birth weight neonates in a developing world neonatal unit- Short term outcomes and risk factors for mortality
… 21.1) with a mean hospital stay of 74 days in survivors vs 52 days in the non-survivors (p=0.06). There was no statistically significant difference in SNAPPE scores between survivors and non-survivors. Conclusion Abdominal emergencies have a high mortality and adds to the overall length of stay …

Exits, entrances and entrepreneurship : an exploration of economic theories of entrepreneurship through new independent entry and infant exit
… differences between the information bases of survivors and non-survivors. No theory of entrepreneurship is likely to be straightforwardly testable and many postulates have to be established to bring the theory to a testable stage. A questionnaire is used to gather information from a sample of …

Surgery Improves Survival Among Patients With Intestinal Obstruction
… Surgical patients were slightly younger than non-surgical patients (65 vs. 68 years), and had more severe illness, as measured by the disease staging: mortality scale (115.45 vs. 97.95, p<0.001). After adjusting for illness severity, surgery was protective from mortality (adjusted odds ratio …

Lung microenvironment plays a key role on the protective vs. detrimental effects of mesenchymal stromal cell therapy in acute lung injury
… complex disorder with high mortality. Most ARDS non-survivors present complications of pulmonary fibrosis. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are considered good candidates for therapy due to their ability to home into injury sites and help in recovery. However, MSC are sensitive to stimulations …

Can isoprostanes be used to predict survival in horses with colic?
… treated colic horses (0.26 ± 0.11 ng/mg Cr). Non-survivors had significantly higher mean urine isoprostane metabolite concentrations (0.47 ± 0.39 ng/mg Cr) compared to healthy control horses and surviving colic horses (0.29 ± 0.24 ng/mg Cr). Since urinary concentrations of isoprostane …

Electrical characterization of leukocyte activation for monitoring sepsis progression using dielectrophoresis
… across many conditions and compared to the non-activated ones. We found repeatable and consistent electrical changes using both IDS and DEP spring method: an increase in effective conductivity of activated neutrophils at higher frequencies (above 5MHz). We then developed an electrical model …
