(University of Washington - Health Sciences/UW News, Community Relations & Marketing) The Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium is the largest clinical research network to study prehospital treatments for cardiac arrest in the United States and Canada. ROC conducted the first randomized study to assess if real-time audio-feedback, during the EMS prehospital course of care, would improve clinical outcome. Results of the study were presented on November 15 during the Resuscitation Science Symposium 2009 program. (Source: EurekAlert! - Medicine and Health)

(University of Washington) More that 7,000 rare disorders in aggregate affect millions of people. Researchers have now shown that it may be possible to more quickly identify the causative gene for many of these disorders by sequencing only the protein-coding regions of the genome. This can be done on unrelated individuals, thereby avoiding the need for large families for such studies. (Source: EurekAlert! - Medicine and Health)

Abstract The search for an oral anticoagulant with acceptable efficacy and safety in the treatment and prevention of venous and arterial

agents, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, and apixaban, are nearing approval in the US. Their use in practice will be guided by the
clinical trials available, as well as their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. Practitioners need to be fully
aware of these characteristics in order to use these agents appropriately in clinical practice. This revie...

two types of photoreceptor with mutually orthogonal microvilli orientations occurring in a 2:6 ratio. Within each rhabdomere,
the microvilli are well aligned. Rhabdom structure and orientation remain constant at all retinal levels, but the rhabdom
profiles, as seen in tangential sections through the DRA, change their orientations in a fan-like fashion from the frontal
to the caudal end of the DRA...

In this study, we examined the association of type 2 diabetes with the incidence of sudden cardiac death when compared to
the incidence of non-sudden cardiac death and non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI). We used data from the Atherosclerosis
Risk in Communities (ARIC) study to examine the incidence of sudden and non-sudden cardiac death and non-fatal MI among persons
with and without diabetes in follow-up from the baseline data collection (1987–1989) through December 31, 2001. There were
209 cases of sudden cardiac death, 119 of non-sudden cardiac death, and 739 of non-fatal MI identified in this cohort over
an av...
