Post-extubation stridor poses a significant challenge in critical care settings, often necessitating prompt intervention to prevent respiratory compromise and potential reintubation. This case report details the successful management of post-extubation 55-year-old female patient with complex medical history, using heliox therapy. Heliox, gas mixture helium oxygen, has emerged as novel therapeutic option such scenarios, owing its ability reduce airway resistance improve flow dynamics....
Objectives To evaluate the impact of transferring patients with Fournier's gangrene (FG) to a tertiary referral hospital (TRH) on survival and outcomes. Methods We conducted retrospective analysis FG cases treated at our TRH from January 2015 2022. Clinicodemographic, laboratory, perioperative, mortality data were collected. Patients categorized into two groups: those directly presented (DP) transferred for treatment (TT) other hospitals. Primary outcome was 30-day mortality. Secondary...
F. Mason Sones Jr. (1918-1985) was a pioneering cardiologist whose groundbreaking work revolutionized the field of cardiology. His accidental discovery coronary angiography in 1958 at Cleveland Clinic provided physicians with first clear visualization arteries living patients, paving way for development artery bypass surgery and interventional This review article explores Jr.'s life career, his lasting impact on Born Noxapater, MS, 1918, attended Western Maryland College (Westminster, MD)...
Prebiopsy prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) is a well-known predictor of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). Since (PSA) and volume (PV) increase normally with aging, PSAD thresholds may vary. The purpose the study was to determine if predictive csPCa in different age strata. We retrospectively reviewed our institutional database for patients who underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between January 2016 December 2021. included had post-MRI biopsies....
Background: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is increasingly used for risk stratification and preoperative staging of prostate cancer. It remains unclear how Grade Group (GG) interacts with the ability mpMRI to determine presence extraprostatic extension (EPE) on surgical pathology. Methods: A retrospective review a robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) database from 2016-2020 was performed. Radiology reports by multiple attending radiologists without...
Background Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a leading cause of hospitalizations and readmissions, placing significant burden on the healthcare system. Identifying factors associated with readmission risk crucial for developing targeted interventions improving patient outcomes. This study aimed to investigate impact socioeconomic demographic 30-day 90-day rates in patients primarily admitted CHF. Methods The was carried out using cross-sectional design, data were obtained from Nationwide...
With the rise in antibiotic resistance, new methodologies are needed to combat musculoskeletal infections. Silver is an antimicrobial that can be synthesized different forms, but its pharmacokinetics difficult control. This study details antibacterial efficacy and cellular cytotoxicity of a formulation consisting silver carboxylate (AgCar) released through titanium dioxide/polydimethylsiloxane matrix with predictable release profile on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacterium baumannii,...

Citrobacter infections have emerged as now a common nosocomial pathogen. Most of the manifest in patients with underlying medical conditions. The features infection can range from lower urinary tract, respiratory gastrointestinal disease, or bacteremia, however renal abscesses remain uncommon. Here we present case 48-year-old female history diabetes that presented right abscess secondary to koseri managed drainage and antimicrobial treatment.
Background: This study presents the effectiveness of a combined silver carboxylate (AgCar) and chlorohexidine gluconate (AgCar:CHG) chemistry assessed against two commonly encountered nosocomial pathogens, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Cutibacterium acnes, within context surgical antisepsis wound care. Methods: Through an Institutional Review Board- Animal Care Use Committee (IACUC)-approved protocol, AgCar:CHG was applied to live Yucatan porcine skin visualized by fast...
Vasculitis involving the gastrointestinal (GI) tract typically occurs in association with multisystem disease. Isolated superior mesenteric artery (SMA) vasculitis is a rare disorder that has high degree of morbidity and mortality. Patients often present nonspecific symptoms, this condition can lead to varying degrees intestinal ischemia, significant bleeding, bowel infarction, leading perforation, peritonitis, sepsis from bacterial translocation. Diagnosing be very challenging. High...

Background: The global burden of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is high, but few studies have measured the prevalence PAD in low- and middle-income countries. objective this pilot study was to estimate associated risk factors a naïve population Kigali, Rwanda. Methods: This mixed-methods, cross-sectional conducted at three health centers Kigali. Patients meeting criteria were administered an ankle-brachial index (ABI) survey. An ABI </=0.9 value diagnostic for >1.3 used inconclusive...
Background: Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis and multi-drug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii are rising contributors to spinal fusion fracture-associated infections (FAI), respectively. These MDR bacteria can form protective biofilms, complicating traditional antibiotic treatment. This study explores the effects of antibiotic-independent antimicrobial silver carboxylate (AgCar)-doped coating on adherence sand proliferation these pathogens orthopedic implant materials...
