Preliminary results of a laboratory study, conducted by researchers at the Center for Thrombosis Research at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore and Duke University, indicate that anti-depressants may be beneficial in patients with ischemic heart disease by having a previously undiscovered inhibitory effect on platelets.
Researchers conclude that a closed cell-stent is the best choice for doctors when treating patients with a coronary artery blockage because it is less likely to stimulate blood clots.
When treating older patients for acute coronary syndroms, the study concludes that platelet function should be closely monitored and adjustments need to be made to accommodate the decreased levels of platelet function.
Doctors at Sinai Hospital have found that a person's risk of becoming ill when exposed to high altitude (more than 4,300 meters) increases as the rate of dehydration and the body's inability to adapt to environmental stressors increases.
Researchers at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore have discovered that patients with overreactive platelets, which may be a risk factor for clotting, do not always respond to current drugs designed to decrease platelet activity.
Experts at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore have found that recovery rates from nerve injury in limb lengthening patients are significantly faster and higher when diagnosed by pressure specified sensory device than by clinical symptoms or nerve conduction studies alone.
Researchers at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore recently demonstrated that aspirin resistance is higher in diabetics with coronary artery disease (CAD) than in non-diabetics at the standard 81mg dose of aspirin.
Aspirin is used by millions of patients for the prevention and treatment of coronary artery disease, the single leading cause of death in the world. In the largest study to date on the effectiveness of aspirin, researchers at the Center for Thrombosis Research at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore recently demonstrated that aspirin resistance is rare, less than 5 percent, at all doses (81 mg, 162 mg and 325 mg) in patients with heart disease.
A study conducted at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore found that robotic telerounding may significantly reduce the length of stay of patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery if used to supplement standard postoperative visits, or "rounds," made by surgeons. The results of this study are published in the July issue of the Journal of American College of Surgeons
According to a new Harris poll, when encountered by a public restroom without soap or towels, 74% of people who use public restrooms say they would rinse their hands with water and let them air dry. However, LifeBridge Health experts stress that this action is meaningless without soap.
