Does a two-hour intervention using START improve prehospital triage of mass casualty incidents?
The ability of prehospital providers of all levels of training and experience to triage patients in an MCI is less than optimal. However, this ability improved dramatically after a single didactic session, and improvement persisted one month later.
Our study provides the basis to explore the use of Msi-1 as a novel prognostic biomarker in colon cancer patients. Aberrant overexpression of Msi-1 during metastasis of colon cancer also suggests that it is a potential therapeutic target.
