Does accelerometer feedback on high-quality chest compression improve survival rate?
The use of accelerometer feedback devices to facilitate high-quality chest compression may not be appropriate for lightweight rescuers because of the potential for compression depth overestimation.
Most of the anti-Dsg1 antibodies in nonendemic PF bind to the amino-terminus of Dsg1, a region critical for intercellular adhesion of cadherins, and this skewed amino-terminal immunoreactivity prevails across various activity stages in most patients, even upon remission. These findings are valuable for understanding the biology of Dsg-mediated cellular adhesion as well as for the development of epitope-based monitoring and therapeutic strategies.
