<h4>Aim</h4>To investigate whether a specific (SP) or non-specific (NSP) clinical presentation, predicts prognosis and in-hospital resource utilization in emergency medical admissions.<h4>Methods</h4>We studied admissions over 5 years (2015-2019) and classified the symptom presentation as SP or NSP. The predictive capacity of the NSP category was related to 30-day in-hospital mortality with ... Read more >>

<h4>Introduction</h4>Menière's disease is a clinical entity with no definitive objective testing. It has been hypothesized that underlying endolymphatic hydrops stiffens the basilar membrane leading to increased speed of the acoustic stimulus, therefore traveling wave velocity has been proposed as an objective test to aid in the diagnosis. The objective of ... Read more >>

Glucocorticoids have been the mainstay of treatment in giant cell arteritis (GCA) for the past 70 years. Conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) have largely failed to show significant clinical efficacy or reduction of the glucocorticoid burden in GCA. Tocilizumab is the first biologic to make a substantial impact in ... Read more >>

We investigated racial variation in glycemic control (glycated hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c]) with fracture risk in geriatric patients with diabetes. Compared to an HbA1c of 7.0-7.9% [53-63 mmol/mol], HbA1c ≥9.0% [≥75 mmol/mol] was associated with increased fracture risk among Blacks and those of Unknown race only. This increase was attenuated in ... Read more >>
