Recent studies suggested intrathecal vasodilator administration as a therapy to mitigate post-ischemic cerebral hypoperfusion following cardiac arrest. We examined the effects of two commonly used vasodilators, sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and nicardipine, on pial microcirculation, cortical tissue oxygen tension (PctO 2 ), electrocortical activity in early post-resuscitation period using porcine model Thirty pigs were resuscitated after 14 min untreated At 30 resuscitation from arrest,...
We evaluate the efficacy and safety of sonographically guided ethanol sclerotherapy for benign thyroid cysts.We examined 22 patients with cysts (13 complex nine pure cysts) confirmed by fine-needle aspiration biopsy. Sonographically cystic fluid was followed instillation absolute (99.9%) into cavity: injected volume 40-100% aspirated. The procedure performed every 1 or 3 months one two sessions (mean, 1.2 sessions). Follow-up sonography 1-10 after final session, we observed complications.The...
Recently, myocarditis following messenger RNA (mRNA) coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination has become an important social issue worldwide. According to the reports so far, related mRNA COVID-19 is rare and usually associated with a benign clinical course without intensive care or any sequelae of fulminant myocarditis. Here, we report case acute cardiogenic shock after vaccination, requiring extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Clinicians should keep in mind possibility...
This article presents an adaptive precompensation technique for the Wiener system: a class of nonlinear systems that can be represented by interconnection linear dynamic subsystem and memoryless subsystem. An algorithm adjusting parameters precompensator, structured Hammerstein model, is derived using stochastic gradient method. The validity proposed confirmed in computer simulation applying it to known systems.
We investigated the association between lactate clearance or serum levels and neurologic outcomes in-hospital mortality in cardiac arrest survivors who were treated with targeted temperature management (TTM).A retrospective analysis of data from TTM 2012 2015 was conducted. Serum measured on admission at 12, 24, 48 hours following admission. Lactate also calculated. The primary outcome discharge. secondary mortality.The study included 282 patients; 184 (65.2%) discharged a poor outcome, 62...
We investigated awakening time and characteristics of compared nonawakening factors contributing to poor neurologic outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors no withdrawal life-sustaining therapy settings.Retrospective analysis the Korean Hypothermia Network Pro registry.Multicenter ICU.Adult (≥ 18 yr) comatose who underwent targeted temperature management at 33-36°C between October 2015 December 2018.None.We measured from end rewarming awakening, defined as a total Glasgow Coma...
Aims: This study evaluated whether the initial venous glucose level at presentation is associated with fatality in organophosphate (OP)-poisoned patients without diabetes mellitus (DM) and association between outcome differs depending on chemical formulation of OP ingested. Methods: retrospective observational case series consisted 184 DM who had a history poisoning. Initial presentation, general clinical data were recorded. The categorized into following groups according to their...
Growing evidence indicates that inflammation is associated with neurological sequelae after CO poisoning. Several scores incorporating the peripheral complete blood cell (CBC) count have been introduced as indicators of systemic inflammation. This study investigated whether these can improve predictive accuracy for long-term outcome acute carbon monoxide (CO) Two hundred seventy-nine patients who suffered from poisoning were included. Data on demographic details, serial CBC counts and based...
The aim of this study was to examine epidemiologic data regarding acute herbicide or insecticide poisoning in adults from 2011 2014 at the national level South Korea. Further, association between governmental regulations involving pesticides and changes pesticide occurrences over time determined. Data were obtained emergency department (ED)-based Injury In-depth Surveillance system conducted by Korea Center for Disease Control Prevention (KCDC). Governmental on downloaded homepage Rural...
To evaluate the effects of social distancing on incidence and characteristics injuries during COVID-19 pandemic.This cross-sectional study used National Emergency Department Information System (NEDIS) database.Injured patients who visited all 402 emergency departments (EDs) between 29 February May 2020 (after-distancing), in corresponding period 2019 (before distancing) to control for seasonal influences.The outcome was injury. Using interrupted time-series analysis models, we analysed...
This study aimed to identify whether quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) performed immediately upon arrival can predict the outcome of patients with glyphosate surfactant herbicide (GlySH) poisoning.Adult GlySH poisoning between January 2006 and April 2017 were included in this retrospective observational study. The qSOFA score (respiratory rate ≥22 breaths per minute, systolic blood pressure <100 mm Hg, altered mental status) was assessed at emergency department. primary...
This retrospective study investigated whether the serum albumin (SA) concentration at presentation is associated with mortality and mechanism underlying association. enrolled 217 patients poisoned organophosphate (OP). Hypoalbuminemia (albumin <3.5 g/dL) was identified in 18.4% of OP. The hypoalbuminemia group experienced a more complicated clinical course had higher rate than normoalbuminemia hyperalbuminemia groups. SA correlated CRP level but not body mass index OP poisoning. Furthermore,...
Background and objectives The study sought to investigate the impact of early extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support before revascularization in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by profound cardiogenic shock after resuscitated cardiac arrest. It is difficult determine optimal timing ECMO AMI Methods Among 116,374 experiencing out-of-hospital arrest South Korea, a total 184 shock, who were treated successfully percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)...
The present study aimed to analyze and compare the prognostic performances of Japanese Ministry Health Welfare (JMHW) score, Korean Society on Thrombosis Hemostasis (KSTH) International Haemostasis (ISTH) Association for Acute Medicine (JAAM) revised JAAM (rJAAM) 28-day mortality in severe trauma. This retrospective observational included patients admitted trauma between 2012 2015. Receiver operating characteristics analysis was performed examine performance 5 different DIC score systems....
