TL;DR: An independent relationship between the severity of OSA and BP/HR is confirmed and the absence of antihypertensive drugs and the level of the initial BP are significant and independent predictors for the lowering effect of Bi-/CPAP therapy on systolic and diastolic BP.

TL;DR: A comparable increase in metronidazole resistance was observed in both nonulcer dyspepsia patients and peptic ulcer patients, and the prevalence of metronidine resistance in Western Europeans increased from 5% in 1993 to 28% in 1996.
Abstract: The prevalence of primary metronidazole resistance of Helicobacter pylori was studied in one Dutch hospital from 1993 to 1996 and in two additional Dutch hospitals in 1993 and 1996. All cultures of antral biopsy specimens yielding H. pylori in the study period were evaluated, except those from patients who had received anti-H. pylori treatment; 1,037 H. pylori strains, all from different patients were included. Metronidazole resistance was determined by disk diffusion in 1993 and by Epilipsometer-test in 1994 to 1996. Metronidazole resistance increased from 7% (18/245) in 1993 to 32% (161/509) in 1996. More patients with nonulcer dyspepsia and more non-Western European patients were seen in 1996 than in 1993, but age and sex differences were not observed. A comparable increase in metronidazole resistance was observed in both nonulcer dyspepsia patients and peptic ulcer patients, and the prevalence of metronidazole resistance in Western Europeans increased from 5% in 1993 to 28% in 1996.

TL;DR: Taking haemorrhage as an example, it is demonstrated that the way diagnoses are grouped significantly affects the statistical elaboration of maternal deaths.
Abstract: A retrospective analysis of 78 maternal deaths was performed during 1991-1992 to estimate maternal mortality at the maternity unit of the main tertiary level hospital in The Gambia. The non-abortion maternal mortality ratio (MMR) was 736 per 100 000 live births. Among the direct causes, haemorrhage caused most deaths (24%), followed by hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP) (21%). Sepsis was the main cause of death in 15%. Anaemia led among the indirect causes of death (8%) and was a co-factor in 41% of all deaths. Substandard care factors other than medical causes were determined involving health care facilities, staff, drugs and equipment, and patient-related factors. Well known risk factors of low age (< or = 19 years) and nulliparity were highly represented in the maternal death group, and delivery by Caesarean section occurred more than threefold compared to the overall Caesarean section rate. Taking haemorrhage as an example, it is demonstrated that the way diagnoses are grouped significantly affects the statistical elaboration of maternal deaths.

TL;DR: A fast and robust LC-MS/MS method was developed and analytically validated for simultaneous determination of ATP, NTP, IMP, DSP, CMP, and DCMP in DBS and a good correlation was found between patients plasma and DBS samples of ATP and DMCP, but not for CMP.
