PREDICTORS OF SWITCHING FROM NONSTEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS TO CORTICOSTEROIDS IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE PERICARDITIS AND IMPACT ON CLINICAL OUTCOME

Background: Aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (A/NSAIDs) are the mainstay treatments for acute pericarditis.We sought to identify factors predicting failure of A/NSAIDs and switch to corticosteroid treatment (STCT) as well as the impact of STCT on pericarditis recurrence.Methods: We enrolled 148 patients with acute pericarditis recei

In recent years, large language models have achieved breakthroughs on a wide range of benchmarks in natural language processing and continue to increase Link Assembly in performance.Recently, the advances of large language models have raised interest outside the natural language processing community and could have a large impact on daily life.In th

This paper deals with urban planning Trimmers and change processes potentially impacting local infrastructure.The overarching theoretical frame is social-ecological resilience thinking and its potential application to as well as implications for urban land-use development.The paper draws its main attention on if this concept can be of use for urban

The emerging virus, COVID-19, has caused a massive outbreak worldwide.Based on the publicly available contact-tracing data, we identified 509 Tumblers transmission chains from 20 provinces in China and estimated the serial interval (SI) and generation interval (GI) of COVID-19 in China.Inspired by different possible values of the time-varying repro

The dynamics of HEMP HEARTS the flatter valves inside a hermetic reciprocating compressor used in household appliances is the most important factor concerning the gas dynamic behaviour of such a compressor.Hence for a good valve design and for a reliable simulation of the compressor the ability to predict the movement of the valves is indispensable
