Journal ArticleDOI

Airborne dispersal as a novel transmission route of coagulase-negative staphylococci: interaction between coagulase-negative staphylococci and rhinovirus infection.

Werner E. Bischoff, +9 more
- 01 Jun 2004 - 
TL;DR: This is the first demonstration that a viral pathogen in the upper airways can increase airborne dispersal of CoNS in nasal S. aureus carriers, and gowns, gloves, and caps had a protective effect, whereas wearing a mask did not further reduce airborne spread.
Journal ArticleDOI

Graphical assessment of incremental value of novel markers in prediction models : From statistical to decision analytical perspectives

Ewout W. Steyerberg, +7 more
- 01 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed options for graphical display and summary measures to assess the predictive value of markers over standard, readily available predictors, and illustrated various approaches using previously published data on 3264 participants from the Framingham Heart Study, where 183 developed coronary heart disease (10-year risk 5.6%).
Journal ArticleDOI

Implications of C-reactive protein or coronary artery calcium score as an adjunct to global risk assessment for primary prevention of CHD

Susan G. Lakoski, +7 more
- 01 Aug 2007 - 
TL;DR: There were differences in the number of intermediate-risk individuals reclassified as high risk depending on the screening test used, the cut points selected, and the demographics of the individuals being screened, highlighting current limitations of broadly using risk markers such as CRP and CAC score in an intermediate- risk population.
Journal Article

The clinical role of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the evaluation of renal artery stenosis and diagnostic superiority as compared to traditional echo-color-Doppler flow imaging.

Marco Matteo Ciccone, +9 more
- 01 Apr 2011 - 
TL;DR: The results suggest that this renal CEUS is a promising, new, non-invasive method for screening patients with suspected renal artery stenosis and so may be an important aid in cardiovascular diagnostics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biomarkers of Cardiovascular Stress and Subclinical Atherosclerosis in the Community

Deepa M. Gopal, +13 more
- 01 Nov 2014 - 
TL;DR: Increased GDF-15 concentrations are associated with subclinical atherosclerosis, including maximal ICA IMT and carotid plaque presence, and was a stronger predictor of maximal I CA thickness and plaque presence compared with BNP and CRP when these conventional biomarkers were tested together.
