Question: To determine whether recent reimbursement cuts have resulted in a shift of outpatient MRI from private offices to hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs); and to study office MRI utilization trends among radiologists and other specialists.', 'The Medicare Part B Physician/Supplier Procedure Summary Master Files were used. MRI codes were aggregated, and total MRI volumes from 2002 to 2012 were studied. Medicare place-of-service codes were used to identify studies performed in private offices and HOPDs and create trend lines. Specialty codes were used to categorize private office MRI users as radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, other physicians, and independent diagnostic testing facilities.', 'Medicare office and HOPD utilization of MRI (all specialties) rose rapidly from 2002 to 2006, reaching 2,727,807 in offices and 2,355,641 in HOPDs. Thereafter, office volume steadily declined, whereas HOPD volume steadily increased. By 2012, more studies were done in HOPDs than in offices. Over the entire period from 2002 and 2012, office MRI volume among radiologists increased 27%, compared with 216% among orthopedic surgeons and 124% among other physicians.

Answer: Do trends in outpatient MRI seem to reflect recent reimbursement cuts?

Question: Inadequate nutrition in very-low-birthweight (VLBW) infants is known to be associated with growth failure and poor neurological outcomes. We aimed to investigate the association of early aggressive protein and energy intakes with weight gain and 18-month neurodevelopmental outcomes in VLBW infants.', "A total of 90 infants among 129 infants who survived to discharge were included and divided into two groups (early aggressive nutrition [n = 52] vs conventional nutrition [n = 38]). Clinical findings were compared between the two groups and daily protein and energy intakes were collected for the first 4 weeks of life. Multiple regression analyses tested the association between weekly protein or energy intakes and the result of each category of the Denver Developmental Screening Test II at 18 months' corrected age or weight gain.", "The early aggressive nutrition group had higher rates of normal language development and lower rates of growth failure (<10th percentile) at both 40 weeks' and 18 months' corrected age compared to the conventional nutrition group. After controlling for the confounding variables, higher first week protein and energy intakes each independently contributed to normal language development (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]; 9.4 [1.8-49.6] per 1g/kg of protein increase and 1.7 [1.1-2.8] per 10kcal/kg of energy increase). Higher first-week protein intake was associated with a higher weight at 40 weeks' corrected age (r = 0.41, P = 0.005).

Answer: Does early aggressive nutrition enhance language development in very low-birthweight infants?

Question: Oxidative stress generated within inflammatory joints can produce autoimmune phenomena and joint destruction. Radical species with oxidative activity, including reactive nitrogen species, represent mediators of inflammation and cartilage damage.', 'To assess serum nitric oxide as a marker of oxidative stress in Egyptian patients with rheumatoid arthritis and its relation to disease activity.', '80 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were divided into 2 groups, according to the DAS-28 score: Group I: 42 patients with disease activity, and Group II: 38 patients with no disease activity. Forty age- and sex-matched individuals were included as control group (Group III). Routine laboratory investigations were done, and nitric oxide was measured using Elisa. Hand plain radiographies were done for radiological status scoring using the Sharp method.', 'A comparison between nitric oxide in all three groups showed a highly significant difference (p < 0.001), significantly higher levels were obtained among rheumatoid arthritis patients in comparison to controls, and higher levels were obtained in patients with active disease (meanSD 82.3820.46) in comparison to patients without active disease (35.537.15). Nitric oxide in Group I showed a significant positive correlation with morning stiffness (r=0.45), arthritis (r=0.43), platelet count (r=0.46), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (r=0.83), C-reactive protein (r=0.76) and Disease Activity Score (r=0.85). Nitric oxide showed a significant positive correlation (r=0.43) with hand radiographies (Sharp score) in Group I.

Answer:
Are [ Higher nitric oxide levels associated with disease activity in Egyptian rheumatoid arthritis patients ]?
