UnknownAcute effects of isometric plank exercise on 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure in young adults with prehypertension: a randomized cross-over trial.

Background

Isometric resistance exercise has been shown to reduce blood pressure (BP), particularly when involving large muscle groups. Isometric plank exercise (IPE), which elicits extensive muscle activation, may offer similar benefits; however, its acute effects on ambulatory blood pressu...

UnknownWeekly docetaxel and gemcitabine in previously treated metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Aim

To assess the efficacy and safety of weekly docetaxel plus a fixed-dose rate (FDR) of gemcitabine in metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

Methods

A multi-center, open-label, prospective phase II study was designed. Thirty-three esophageal SCC patients with document...

MetabolomicsRole of jeotgal, a Korean traditional fermented fish sauce, in microbial dynamics and metabolite profiles during kimchi fermentation
We investigated the effects of jeotgal (fermented fish sauce) on kimchi fermentation, with or without saeu-jeot and myeolchi-jeot. Bacterial community analysis showed that Leuconostoc, Weissella, Lactobacillus, and Tetragenococcus were the dominant genera; however, their succession depended on the p...

UnknownElderly kidney transplant recipients have favorable outcomes but increased infection-related mortality.

Background

The number of elderly patients with end-stage kidney disease has been increasing, but the outcomes of kidney transplants (KT) remain poorly understood in elderly patients. Therefore, we evaluated the clinical outcomes of elderly KT recipients and analyzed the impact of elderly don...

UnknownTrends and factors associated with influenza vaccination in subjects with asthma: analysis of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2010 and 2019.

Background

Despite the importance of influenza vaccination, its rates in subjects with asthma are suboptimal, especially in the young population.

Methods

Among 72,843 adults aged ⩾18 years from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted between 2010 and 2019,...

UnknownVirtual reality environment using a dome screen for procedural pain in young children during intravenous placement: A pilot randomized controlled trial.
We assessed the feasibility and potential efficacy of a virtual reality (VR) environment using a dome screen as a distraction method in young children during intravenous (IV) placement in the pediatric emergency department. This randomized controlled pilot study enrolled children aged 2 to 6 years w...

UnknownClinical Features and Courses of Adenovirus Pneumonia in Healthy Young Adults during an Outbreak among Korean Military Personnel.

Background

The number of pneumonia patients increased suddenly in Korean military hospitals in late December 2014, indicating the urgent need for an epidemic outbreak investigation.

Methods

We conducted a prospective study of pneumonia etiology among immunocompetent young adults admit...

UnknownIdentification of five genetic variants with differential effects on obesity-related traits based on age.
Obesity is a major public health concern, and its prevalence generally increases with age. As the number of elderly people is increasing in the aging population, the age-dependent increase in obesity has raised interest in the underlying mechanism. To understand the genetic basis of age-related incr...

UnknownSubtypes of Patients with Mild to Moderate Airflow Limitation as Predictors of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbation.
COPD is a heterogeneous disease, and its acute exacerbation is a major prognostic factor. We used cluster analysis to predict COPD exacerbation due to subtypes of mild-moderate airflow limitation. In all, 924 patients from the Korea COPD Subgroup Study cohort, with a forced expiratory volume (FEV1) ...

UnknownDevelopment of a spirometry T-score in the general population.

Background and objective

Spirometry values may be expressed as T-scores in standard deviation units relative to a reference in a young, normal population as an analogy to the T-score for bone mineral density. This study was performed to develop the spirometry T-score.

Methods

T-scores...
