An analysis of falls in the hospital: can we do without bedrails?
Reducing the use of bedrails did not alter patient fall rates significantly, but it was associated with a reduction in serious injuries. Unless it can be shown that bedrails are beneficial, their continued use in older patients must be seriously questioned.
The results might confirm the hypothesis that IFN-α induces gefitinib sensitivity of NSCLC, and IFN-α inhibits phosphorylation of STAT3, which may be dependent on EGFR signal activation playing a role in the reduction of gefitinib sensitivity after IFN-α treatment in NSCLC cell lines.
