The Lazarus phenomenon, or auto-resuscitation, refers to the spontaneous return of circulation (ROSC) after failed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). First described in 1982, it remains rare and poorly understood, with clinical ethical implications regarding death declaration organ donation. Proposed mechanisms include pulmonary hyperinflation, delayed drug effects, myocardial stunning, absent reflexive brainstem activity. We present case a 71-year-old man admitted cranial thoracic trauma...
Background Several devices have been proposed to assess arterial stiffness in clinical daily use over the past few years, by estimating aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) from a single measurement of brachial oscillometric blood pressure, using patented algorithms. It is uncertain if these systems are able provide additional elements, beyond contribution carried age and pressure levels, definition early vascular damage expressed stiffening wall. Methods Results The aim our study was compare...
Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a valuable tool to predict and monitor the COVID-19 pneumonia course. However, influence of cardiac dysfunction (CD) on LUS findings remains be studied. Our objective was determine effect CD in hospitalized patients with pneumonia.Fifty-one participated study. Focused echocardiography (FoCUS) carried out day 1 separate into two groups depending whether they had FoCUS signs (CD+ vs CD-). scores, based thickness pleural line, B-line characteristics, presence or not...
Abstract Background People with HIV (PWH) may experience accentuating aging in relation to immuno-activation. Little is known regarding thymus (THY) involution this process. We sought investigate the relationship between THY imaging detection/size and clinically relevant outcomes such as metabolic syndrome (MetS), multimorbidity (MM), frailty PWH. Methods This was a cross-sectional observational study including 665 patients (81% males; median age, 53 years) attending Modena Metabolic Clinic...

HSTCL rare and aggressive neoplasm which usually difficult to diagnose. We present case was the initial presentation.Hepatosplenic (HSTCL) diagnose, has poor prognosis presents with hepatosplenomegaly, B symptoms cytopenias.Hypercalcaemia an extremely clinical presentation HSTCL.Severe life-threatening condition should always be...
Objective: To evaluate patient perception of Arterial Hypertension (HTN). Design and method: Questionnaire posed to patients at our hospital clinics. Results: Of the 100 who filled out questionnaires 64% were women, with an average age 63. Only 23% had normal weight, 12% smokers, 41% practiced physical exercise regularly. was present in 78% patients, but only could define it correctly. In 97% cases, salt a known contributor HTN. Although 6% admitted adding extra table, 77% didn’t think they...
