A primary finding was that evacuating nursing home residents to buildings that are not designed to support nursing activities (e.g., a school gymnasium or church) adversely affected resident feeding, sleeping, movement, and security.
A primary finding was that during a simulated pivot-shift test, a significant reduction in internal rotation at 30°, 45° and 60° of knee flexion was noted for the ACL reconstruction in conjunction with an ALL reconstruction.
Our primary finding was that rosiglitazone added to either metformin or to a sulfonylurea reduced ambulatory sBP and dBP and this effect was greater than that observed with the standard diabetes combination treatment of metformin and a sulfonylurea.

Although understanding the mechanisms of transmission is an interesting facet of this study, our primary finding is that VPSPr is capable of transmission to transgenic mice expressing PrP, albeit at extremely low levels compared with those of other transmissible prion diseases (e.g., sCJD and vCJD).
Our primary finding is that there has been a shift in prescribing practices for PD in the USA and that these changes are due in part to emerging safety concerns and evidence of efficacy.
