Subsequent research showed that Boogaard, like other deceased N.H.L. players whose brains were studied, had sustained extensive brain trauma that scientists concluded was caused by repeated blows to the head.
36% of the patients in the Soberg study had sustained a head/neck injury, 18% had a spinal cord injury.
Although Lactobacillus strains used in prOVag are susceptible to clindamycin in vitro, their uninterrupted application throughout the study has sustained vaginal colonization.
All the patients qualifying for the study had sustained accidental injuries that caused a life-threatening or critical condition requiring their referral to the intensive care unit (ICU).
In the present study, 28.8% of all the hospitalized acute spinal injury Taiwanese subjects studied had sustained extraspinal injury, and 17.4% of these had suffered more than one associated injury; these results show a similar prevalence of associated injury in spinal trauma patients to those reported previously, but also possibly a higher percentile of multiple associated injuries.
Fecal samples from 10 vancomycin- and 10 fidaxomicin-treated patients who had received no prior treatment for CDI before entry into the study, had sustained clinical cures of CDI (ie, cure with recurrence) and provided all samples to day 28 and variably to day 38 42 were selected for microbiome characterization.
All the patients qualifying for the study had sustained unintentional injuries that required hospitalisation for a minimum of 32 h including two consecutive nights (the latter guaranteed exclusion of patients who were treated in the emergency room overnight but who were not really hospitalised on a ward of the Department of Trauma Surgery).
Participants were included in the study if they had sustained a SCI at least three months before the study, had been discharged from initial intensive inpatient rehabilitation, were living in the community and used their MWC for at least 4 hours per day.
The government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu maintained the same studied silence it has sustained for more than two weeks on the assumption that nothing it said could serve its interests: if it praised the pro-democracy movement, it would be seen as disloyal to its ally, Mr. Mubarak.
