Pulmonary Rehabilitation With Balance Training for Fall Reduction in Chronic Ob...
Beauchamp, Marla; Brooks, Dina; Ellerton, Cindy; Lee, Annemarie; Alison, Jennifer; Camp, Pat; Dechman, Gail; Haines, Kimberley; Harrison, SamanthaBACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A growing body of evidence shows that individuals with COPD have important deficits in balance control that may be associated with an increased risk of falls. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a key therapeutic intervention for individuals with COPD; however, current international guidelines do not i...
Accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging for measuring maturing cartilage: A phan...
McKinney, Jennifer R.; Sussman, Marshall S.; Moineddin, Rahim; Amirabadi, Afsaneh; Rayner, Tammy; Doria, Andrea S.OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging measurements of cartilage tissue-mimicking phantoms and to determine a combination of magnetic resonance imaging parameters to optimize accuracy while minimizing scan time. METHOD: Edge dimensions from 4 rectangular agar phantoms ranging from 10.5 to 14.5 mm in length and 1.25 to 5.5 mm in width were independently measured by two readers using a...

Sonographic assessment of renal growth in patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann synd...
Ortiz-Neira, Clara L; Traubici, Jeffrey; Alan, Daneman; Moineddin, Rahim; Shuman, Cheryl; Weksberg, Rosanna; Epelman, MonicaBACKGROUND: Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome is a disorder of somatic overgrowth. Evidence of kidney overgrowth is a diagnostic criterion that may be used to help identify those patients who are at the greatest risk of developing Wilms tumors. In such subjects, kidney size is typically larger than that of age-matched normal controls. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was to generate a nomogram that could be used t...
