Meropenem is a widely prescribed β-lactam antibiotic. exhibits maximum pharmacodynamic efficacy when given by continuous infusion to deliver constant drug levels above the minimal inhibitory concentration. Compared with intermittent administration, administration of meropenem may improve clinical outcomes.To determine whether reduces composite mortality and emergence pandrug-resistant or extensively drug-resistant bacteria compared in critically ill patients sepsis.A double-blind, randomized...
Importance Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is common among patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Despite multiple randomized clinical trials of hemoglobin (Hb) thresholds for transfusion, little known about how these are incorporated into current practice. Objective To evaluate and describe ICU RBC practices worldwide. Design, Setting, Participants International, prospective, cohort study that involved 3643 adult from 233 ICUs in 30 countries on 6 continents March 2019 October...
Objective Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is responsible for one of the most common types neuropathic pain, described as a burning pain that shakes, hits, and tightens includes allodynia paresthesia. Aim Study To evaluate efficacy Pregabalin when used during transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) in patients with PHN to analyze any changes physical activity sleep quality. Methods Patients aged 50 80 years were included this randomized study. We enrolled 15 male (average age 65±8.6 y)...
The aim of this study was to assess colistin use in a country endemic for multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB).Colistin prescription patterns were evaluated 22 Italian centres. Factors associated with combination other anti-MDR-GNB agents also assessed.A total 221 adults receiving included the study. Their median age 64 years (interquartile range 52-73 years) and 134 (61%) male. Colistin mostly administered intravenously (203/221; 92%) mainly targeted therapy (168/221; 76%)....
Due to tolerance development and adverse side effects, chronic pain patients frequently need be switched alternative opioid therapy To assess the efficacy tolerability of an transdermally applied (TDS) in with cancer receiving insufficient analgesia using their present treatment. A total 32 received therapy, 16 were from buprenorphine fentanyl buprenorphine. The dosage used was 50% that indicated equipotency conversion tables. Pain relief assessed at weekly intervals for next 3 weeks as by...
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a very severe X-linked dystrophinopathy. It due to mutation in the DMD gene and causes muscular degeneration conjunction with several secondary co-morbidities, such cardiomyopathy respiratory failure. characterized by chronic inflammatory state, corticosteroids represent main therapy for these patients. To contradict drug-related side effects, there need novel more safe therapeutic strategies. Macrophages are immune cells stringently involved both...
(1) Background: Infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria represent one of the major global public health problems 21st century. Beta-lactam antibacterial agents are commonly used to treat infections due Gram-negative pathogens. New β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations urgently needed. Combining relebactam (REL) with imipenem (IMI) and cilastatin (CS) can restore its activity against many imipenem-nonsusceptible (2) Methods: we performed a systematic review studies...
Chronic pain is a common problem in clinical practice and women are affected more often than men. Morphine used for long-term relief, but it induces side effects including endocrine alterations. The aim of the present study was to assess behavioural hormonal transdermal buprenorphine suffering from persistent non-malignant pain. Hormones (LH, FSH, total free testosterone, estradiol, cortisol) measures (visual analogue scale, McGill Pain questionnaire, intensity test) were evaluated at...
There is no consensus on which lung-protective strategies should be used in cardiac surgery patients. Sparse and small randomized clinical animal trials suggest that maintaining mechanical ventilation during cardiopulmonary bypass protective the lungs. Unfortunately, such evidence weak as it comes from surrogate minor endpoints mainly limited to elective coronary surgery. According available data academic literature, an unquestionable standardized strategy of lung protection cannot...
This pilot study was designed to compare the efficacy of ultramicronized palmitoylethanolamide (um-PEA) as add-on therapy tapentadol (TP) with TP only in patients suffering from chronic low back pain (LBP). observational consists two arms: prospective arm and retrospective one. In consecutively selected received um-PEA for 6 months; were treated months. Pain intensity neuropathic component evaluated at baseline, during after The degree disability dosage assumption baseline Statistical...
