Background Current guidelines suggest the use of loop diuretics as preferred agent for decongestion in patients with heart failure. However, there is no clear evidence to superiority one diuretic over other. The understanding pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic torsemide furosemide has generated hypothesis that these features could result better clinical outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Several studies had suggested that non-diabetic renal disease (NDRD) was common among non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients with involvement. METHODS: We prospectively studied the prevalence of NDRD a Chinese NIDDM population. Renal biopsy specimens were evaluated light-, immunohistological and electron-microscopy. The cohort consisted 51 who proteinuria > 1 g/24 h. RESULTS: Patients both isolated diabetic nephropathy (DN, n = 34) (n 17) comparable duration DM,...

Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) has become a pandemic. Diabetic patients tend to have poorer outcomes and more severe (Kumar et al. in Diabetes Metab Syndr 14(4):535-545, 2020. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dsx.2020.04.044 ). However, the vast majority of studies are representative Asian Caucasian population fewer represent an African-American population.In this single-center, retrospective observational study, we included all adult (> 18 years old) admitted Einstein Medical Center,...

In critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019, there has been considerable debate about when to intubate acute respiratory failure. Early expert recommendations supported early intubation. However, as we learned more this disease, the risks versus benefits of intubation are less clear. We report our findings from an observational study aimed compare difference in outcomes 2019 who were intubated later course. need for was defined either at admission or within 2 days having a...
