A searchable index of real negative results, null findings, and replication failures from the published literature — so you can learn what didn't work before repeating it.
WASTE indexes published research — it does not host or republish full papers. Each entry is a metadata record (title, authors, DOI) compiled from open scholarly databases, with the abstract shown in full only where the paper is openly licensed (e.g. Creative Commons); otherwise a short excerpt is shown for reference under fair use. WASTE classifies each work by failure type; classifications are automated and approximate.

Background: Left ventricular (LV) twist is due to oppositely directed apical and basal rotation and has been proposed as a sensitive marker of LV function. We sought to assess the impact of chronic pure mitral regurgitation (MR) on the torsional mechanics of the left human ventricle using tissue Doppler imaging. Methods: Nineteen severe MR patients with a normal LV ejection fraction and 16 non-MR controls underwent conventional echocardiography and apical and basal short-axis color Doppler myocardial imaging (CDMI). LV rotation at the apical and basal short-axis levels was calculated from the

Introduction: Shoulder Impingement Syndrome (SIS) is one of the common cause of shoulder ailment which leads to pain and restriction of the movements. Though Mobilisation with Movement and cryotherapy, both are found to be effective in managing SIS, there is no comparison done between the two treatments. Aim: To compare the effectiveness of Mobilisation With Movement (MWM) and cryotherapy in SIS. Materials and Methods: A randomised clinical trial was conducted on 22 subjects who aged between 18-64 years, and those who had a positive painful arc, three positive tests out of five i.e., Neer’s Im

Factors related with hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) and the impact of HHcy in Parkinson’s disease (PD) are not well understood. We investigated the factors associated with increased levels of homocysteine (Hcy) and the relationship between HHcy and motor symptoms, cognitive status, and vascular risk in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Among 60 patients (29 males, 48.3%) with PD, the stage of the disease, the severity of clinical symptoms, and the patients’ cognitive status were measured using a modified Hoehn and Yahr Staging Scale (mHY), Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) II and

Abstract Background Fluoroscopic imaging involves exposure of the patients and the laboratory staff to ionizing radiation. One of the strategies that reduce such exposure in an electrophysiology laboratory is using a three‐dimensional electroanatomic mapping (3D EAM) system for performing these procedures. In this analysis, we have analyzed the effect of fluoroscopy frame rate on the radiation exposure and in‐hospital outcomes in ablation procedures performed under 3D EAM guidance. Methods We retrospectively analyzed all the ablation procedures performed under 3D EAM guidance at our institute

The Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain (MAPP) Research Network has yielded neuroimaging and urinary biomarker findings that highlight unique alterations in brain structure and in urinary proteins related to tissue remodeling and vascular structure in patients with Urological Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (UCPPS). We hypothesized that localized changes in diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) measurements might be associated with corresponding changes in urinary protein levels in UCPPS. To test this hypothesis, we created statistical parameter maps depicting the linear corre

Introduction The Crisis and Home Treatment Teams (CRHT) in psychiatry manages patients with risk to self and others in the community. The number of patents under CRHT who attempt or die of suicide is high in the UK (Hunt et al BJPsych Bull. 2016;40:172-4). The CRHT is an option to help support patients in managing their risk using various interventions and also aim to prevent admission to acute psychiatric wards where possible. Objectives We intended to study the change in risk to self and others and the factors associated with it during the intervention from a CRHT taking care of adult patien

Abstract Aims Given recent suggestions that serum levels of insulin‐like growth factor‐binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) may identify patients who derive greater cardiorenal benefits from treatment with sodium‐glucose transport 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), this exploratory sub‐analysis of the EMPA‐HEART CardioLink‐6 randomized controlled trial evaluated the association between serum levels of IGFBP7 and empagliflozin‐mediated left ventricular mass regression. Methods and results The EMPA‐HEART CardioLink‐6 trial used gold‐standard cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to detect change in left ventricular mass

Aging is associated with a decline in sensory acuity that may lead to impaired nutritional status. Thus, the study aimed to evaluate gustatory sensitivity in relation to the nutritional status of elderly women participating in an Activity Center for the Elderly (ACE). For that, an observational, analytical cross-sectional study was performed with elderly participants of an ACE, in Curitiba, PR. An anamnesis was applied to know and characterize the evaluated population, then an evaluation of the nutritional status was made through anthropometry. The taste sensitivity evaluation was carried out
