question:
Question: Is unexplained elevated maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein predictive of adverse perinatal outcome in an indigent urban population?
Answer: Elevated maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein levels offer little if any additional predictive value for adverse perinatal outcome in populations already at high risk for such outcomes on the basis of obstetric or socioeconomic criteria.
answer:
no


question:
Question: Does the tissue Doppler imaging derived post-systolic velocity notch originate at the aortic annulus?
Answer: The AA represents the site of the earliest onset and maximal amplitude of the PSN on the longitudinal velocity curve suggesting its mechanism to be that of an energy release at the instant of the aortic valve closure causing an apically directed acceleration of the myocardium. A substantial number of healthy subjects exhibit a second PSN spike predominantly at the level of the AA. Its mechanism remains to be elucidated.
answer:
yes


question:
Question: Is implementation of a surgical intensive care unit service associated with improved outcomes for trauma patients?
Answer: Transition from a pulmonary ICU service to a SICU service at our institution was associated with no change in mortality but an improvement in pulmonary complications, ventilator days, and reintubation rates. Trauma centers currently staffed with a pulmonary ICU service should feel comfortable converting to SICU service and should expect comparable or improved outcomes for trauma patients admitted to the ICU.
answer:

yes
