COVID‐19 outbreak has a profound impact on almost every aspect of life. Universal masking is recommended as means source control. Routinely exercising in safe environment an important strategy for healthy living during this crisis. As sports clubs and public spaces may serve viral transmission, become integral part physical activity. This study aimed to assess the physiological effects wearing surgical masks N95 respirators short‐term strenuous workout. was multiple cross‐over trial...
Exacerbations of COPD (ECOPD) have a major impact on patients and healthcare systems across the world. Precise estimates global burden ECOPD mortality hospital readmission are needed to inform policy makers aid preventive strategies mitigate this burden. The aims present study were explore in-hospital mortality, post-discharge rates after ECOPD-related hospitalisation using an individual patient data meta-analysis (IPDMA) design.
In modern conflicts, extremities are mainly affected, with limb amputations required for approximately 5% of severely injured combatants and 7% those serious injuries. Amputations some the most challenging injuries endured by survivors, significantly affecting patients healthcare system. This study aims to describe rates, characteristics, risk factors in extremity trauma during 2023 conflict Israel. nationwide retrospective cohort study, based on Israel National Trauma Registry, includes all...
We describe a case of young man admitted to due mild COVID-19 infection. During his hospitalization in an isolation ward, he had no respiratory distress or fever but developed symptoms consistent with anxiety and insomnia. Despite the appropriate supportive intervention, on hospital day 7, attempted suicide by jumping from third-floor ward. The patient was urgently operated transferred level I trauma center under strict isolation. Our findings emphasize importance mental health aspects...
Knowledge of the outcomes critically ill patients is crucial for health and government officials who are planning how to address local outbreaks. The factors associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) required treatment in an intensive care unit (ICU) yet be determined. Methods: This was a retrospective registry-based case series laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 were referred ICU admission treated ICUs 13 participating centers Israel between 5 March 27 April 2020. Demographic...
Background/Objectives: Patients with hematologic malignancy (HM) often experience high rates of thrombocytopenia, thrombocytopathy, anemia, leukopenia, and coagulopathy, which can significantly increase the risk procedural postoperative complications. This study aimed to evaluate safety outcomes percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) in critically ill patients HM. Methods: retrospective cohort included HM who underwent PDT between 2012 2023 at a tertiary academic center. The primary...
The pivotal role of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in sepsis is well recognized. This study aimed to evaluate associations between defecation frequency as a basic assessment GI function and clinical outcomes intensive care unit (ICU) patients with suspected sepsis. retrospective, single-center included having number defecations consecutive days without during 72 hours preceding infection were assessed. primary outcome was 30-day all-cause mortality. Multivariate regression analysis...
Study Design. Nationwide retrospective cohort study. Objective. Determine the incidence and epidemiology of combat-related spinal injuries during Israel-Hamas war. Summary Background Data. In recent conflicts, injury mechanisms have evolved. Advancements in body armor trauma care increased survival rates, significantly altering combat leading to changes characteristics injuries. Methods. This study included patients hospitalized between October 9, 2023, 31, 2024, with Data was obtained from...
Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) is a safe and cost-effective alternative to surgical tracheostomy. Cirrhotic patients often require ICU admission prolonged mechanical ventilation. Patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) are known have coagulopathy relatively simple procedures such as may be associated high complication rates, specifically bleeding rates. Current guidelines unable make specific recommendation on the safety of PDT among cirrhotic patients. We aimed evaluate in...

To determine the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients who were discharged from emergency department (ED) subsequently proved to have bacteremia, we prospectively assessed all examined in ED during an 18-month period whose blood cultures a significant organism was isolated. Discharged contacted reevaluated. Two case-control studies conducted, which each study patient matched with total 4 control patients. During period, 46,336 ED; 78% adults 22% children. Blood performed...
Abstract: Patients with heart failure (HF) iron deficiency (ID) have worse New York Heart Association class and are at a higher risk of recurrent hospitalizations. Intravenous (IV) has been shown to improve exercise ability reduce IV sodium ferric gluconate complex (SFGC) found be safe affordable but not studied in this population randomized trial. This was prospective, single-blind, investigator-initiated, controlled admitted for acute ID were randomly assigned 1:1 receive SFGC on top...
BACKGROUND The Israeli Defense Force Medical Corps (IDF‐MC) recently implemented the use of low titer group O whole blood (LTOWB) in airborne combat search and rescue unit (CSAR) for both military civilian patients during transport to definitive care. LTOWB is preferentially used by CSAR instead red cell units freeze‐dried plasma (FDP) with signs hemorrhagic shock. Ten percent donors were eligible donate as they had anti‐A ‐B IgM titers <50. METHODS All treated providers between July 2018...
Efforts are constantly made to decrease the rates of readmission after acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). ADHF admissions internal medicine departments (IMD) were previously associated with higher risk for compared those admitted cardiology (CD). It is unknown if earlier still applies recent advancement in care over last decade. This contemporary cohort compares characteristics and outcomes patients IMD CD.The data this single-centre, retrospective study utilized a 8332 between 2007...
Early hypocalcemia (EH) is common in adult major trauma patients and has been associated with coagulopathy, shock, increased transfusion requirements, mortality. The incidence of EH pediatric severe not investigated. We aimed to explore the among severely injured children.We conducted a retrospective cohort study at tertiary children's hospital level 1 center. extracted medical records all patients, defined as an age less than 18 years Injury Severity Score (ISS) greater 15, admitted after...
Hemorrhage is a leading cause of death among children. Recent data from adult trauma suggests that early, transfusion-unrelated, hypocalcemia common and it associated with an increased need for blood transfusion, mortality, coagulopathy. The objectives this study are to evaluate the prevalence admission in severely injured children its correlation urgent transfusion.This retrospective cohort all (Injury Severity Score [ISS] > 15) pediatric (<18 years) patients admitted Rambam Health Care...
This cohort study investigates bleeding and mortality outcomes of percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy among critically ill patients receiving dual antiplatelet therapy.
Abstract Background: The ABCD 2 stroke risk score is recommended in national guidelines for stratifying care transient ischaemic attack (TIA) patients, based on its prediction of early risk. We had become concerned about the accuracy and clinical value modern TIA cohorts. Methods: identified emergency department‐diagnosed at two hospitals over 3 years (2004–2006). Cases were followed occurrence scores determined from expert record review. Sensitivity, specificity positive predictive values...
The objectives of our study were to determine the effect strenuous physical training on prevalence iron deficiency anemia (IDA), (ID) with normal hemoglobin (Hb), and without ID.Our was a prospective observational study.
