Background/Objectives: In hematological patients receiving treatment for lymphomas, febrile neutropenia (FN) is a serious complication associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This prospective study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic prognostic value of novel biomarker presepsin (PSP) in episodes FN this specific cohort patients. Methods: The enrolled 37 18 without fever as control group. Patients were divided into two groups: those confirmed infections them. Various clinical...
This study tried to investigate the impact of oXiris filter on both clinical and laboratory parameters in critically-ill COVID-19 intensive care unit (ICU) patients receiving extracorporeal blood purification setting for initiation therapy. A consecutive sample 15 ICU with was treated membrane or support renal function due acute kidney injury. We have included 19 non as a control group. Two chest x-rays were analyzed determining x-ray severity score. found significant decrease SOFA score,...
Hypoxia frequently complicates the course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast (bFGF) are two most potent angiogenic factors may play a role in adaptation to hypoxia. The aims study were assess serum levels VEGF bFGF evaluate their mutual relationship hypoxic patients with exacerbated COPD. group consisted 50 (PaO(2) 53 mmHg) Control groups 30 stable COPD PaO(2) 70 mmHg, healthy blood donors. concentrations measured...
Abstract Objectives In this study, we investigated whether SARS‐CoV‐2 stimulates autoantibody production. Methods The study included 91 patients hospitalized due to COVID 19, with no previous history of immunological diseases. Immunofluorescence assays were performed detect antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) and antineutrophil cytoplasmic (ANCAs), along tests for specific autoantibodies. Results median age (57% male) was 74 years (range 38–95 years). Autoantibodies positive in 67 (74%), ANA 65...
In order to determine the initial values and dynamic changes of EPO (erythropoietin) after therapy, 57 consecutively presenting, typical COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) patients with chronic hypoxia acute exacerbated serum levels were serially measured. Initial mean slightly above normal range (41.4±83.5 units/l), but in majority significantly reduced. Following correction hypoxaemia, decreased 14.1±16.9 units/l (P=0.0093). However, not all showed this pattern; an important...
Colloid cysts are rare benign tumors of the third ventricle with diverse clinical presentation, which vary from incidentally found to acute death.An uncommon hemorrhage in these is a life threatening complication can cause obstructive hydrocephalus deterioration patient and sudden death.We present case 35-year-old man large hemorrhagic colloid cyst causing even though magnetic resonance image low T2 signal suggested its clinically stable nature.Only 3 cases vivo diagnosed have been reported...
Background.The aim of our study was to differentiate between cerebellar pilocytic astrocytomas and grade II ependymomas on the basis their diffusion properties.Patients methods.The prospectively included 12 patients with 5 ependymomas.Apparent coefficients (ADC) were compared tumour types.Results.ADC values significantly higher in than ependymomas, almost no overlapping range measured ADCs two types.Conclusions.Significant differences enable preoperative distinction, combination conventional...
To determine in-hospital and post-discharge mortality, readmission rates, predictors of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in patients treated at intensive care unit (ICU) due to acute exacerbations chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).A retrospective observational cohort study included all a respiratory ICU for AECOPD during one year. A total 62 (41 men) with mean age 68.4±10.4 years were analyzed outcomes including IMV. Patients' demographic, hematologic, biochemical data...
We present a patient with the combination of persistent primitive hypoglossal artery and origin left common carotid from brachiocephalic trunk, who had subarachnoid haemorrhage caused by ruptured aneurysm. The aneurysm was on distal anterior inferior cerebellar which feeder to arterio-venous malformation.
Migration of Enterprise stent in treatment intracranial aneurysms: a report two casesBackground. We present patients with acutely ruptured complex aneurysms the internal carotid artery, arising at origin posterior communicating artery (PComA).Case reports. The both had wide neck and closed-cell (Enterprise) was delivered to assist aneurysm coiling. In an inadvertent migration occurred, without periprocedural complications. Aneurysms were successfully embolized by endovascular...
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) are rare pulmonary vascular anomalies and hemothorax as a presenting feature of PAVM is very occurrence.A 45-year old woman presented with chest pain breathlessness. A x-ray showed left-sided pleural effusion. An emergency MSCT scan contrast no signs embolism but instead probable AV malformation was shown. Diagnostic thoracocentesis revealed hemorrhagic exudate negative cytology microbiology findings. Thoracic drainage performed resulting complete...
