Day case laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Safety and feasibility in obese patients.
(Elsevier, 2017-12-09)Day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DCLC) is not universally adopted and its use is limited to patients selected by non-standardized criteria. Since laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered technically more difficult ... -
Decreased tibial nerve movement in patients with failed back surgery syndrome and persistent leg pain
(Springer, 2019-07)Purpose To measure and compare the total and normalised tibial nerve movements during forward bending in patients with and without failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) and persistent leg pain following anatomically successful ... -
A Deep Intronic HADH Splicing Mutation (c.636+471G>T) in a Congenital Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia Case: Long Term Clinical Course.
(Galenos, 2015-06)Unlike other congenital fatty acid oxidation defects, short-chain L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA (SCHAD, HADH) deficiency is characterised by hypoglycemia with hyperinsulinism in the neonatal or infancy periods. The long-term and ... -
Deep phenotyping of fourteen new patients with IQSEC2 variants, including monozygotic twins of discordant phenotype
(Wiley, 2019-01-21)Whole exome sequencing has established IQSEC2 as a neurodevelopmental disability gene. The IQSEC2 variant phenotype includes developmental delay, intellectual disability, epilepsy, hypotonia, autism, developmental regression, ... -
Defining a New Prognostic index for Stage I Non-seminomatous Germ Cell Tumors using CXCL12 Expression and Proportion of Embyronal Carcinoma
(Clinical Cancer Research, 2015-10-09)PURPOSE: Up to 50% of patients diagnosed with stage I non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCT) harbor occult metastases. Patients are managed by surveillance with chemotherapy at relapse or adjuvant treatment up-front. ... -
Defining drug response for stratified medicine.
(Elsevier, 2017-01)The premise for stratified medicine is that drug efficacy, drug safety, or both, vary between groups of patients, and biomarkers can be used to facilitate more targeted prescribing, with the aim of improving the benefit:risk ... -
Defining left ventricular remodeling following acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction using cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
(BioMed Central, 2017-03-13)The assessment of post-myocardial infarction (MI) left ventricular (LV) remodeling by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) currently uses criteria defined by echocardiography. Our aim was to provide CMR criteria for ... -
Defining the genetic aetiology of monogenic diabetes can improve treatment.
(Taylor & Francis, 2006-09)A molecular genetic diagnosis is now possible for > 80% of patients with monogenic diabetes. This not only provides accurate information regarding inheritance and prognosis, but can inform treatment decisions and improve ... -
Defining the role of common variation in the genomic and biological architecture of adult human height
(Nature, 2014-11)Using genome-wide data from 253,288 individuals, we identified 697 variants at genome-wide significance that together explained one-fifth of the heritability for adult height. By testing different numbers of variants in ... -
