To analyze the application of a lung ultrasound (LUS)-based diagnostic approach to patients suspected COVID-19, combining LUS likelihood COVID-19 pneumonia with patient's symptoms and clinical history.This is an international multicenter observational study in 20 US European hospitals. Patients were tested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) swab test had examination. We identified three phenotypes based on pre-existing chronic diseases (mixed phenotype), presence...
Objectives This retrospective study, conducted in Turin, Italy, between January 2021 and February 2023, investigates the impact of seasonal heatwaves on emergency department (ED) admissions for mental disorders.
Abstract Background Lung ultrasound (LUS) and chest radiography (CXR) are the most used imaging tools in early diagnosis of COVID-19 associated pneumonia. However, relationship between LUS CXR is not clearly defined. The aim our study was to describe comparison interpretation readings first approach patients suspected COVID-19. Methods In time pandemic surge, we prospectively evaluated adult presenting an emergency department complaining symptoms raising suspicion Patients were studied by...
Lung ultrasound (LUS) has a role in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) mainly based on visualization infarctions. However, examining whole chest to detect small peripheral infarctions by LUS may be challenging. Pleuritic pain, frequent presenting symptom patients with PE, is usually localized restricted area identified patient itself. Our hypothesis that sensitivity for PE pleuritic pain higher due possibility focusing examination painful area. We combined data from three prospective...
Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) are characterized by an altered sensitivity to cortisol-mediated modulation of circulating lymphocytes. Longitudinal studies needed address the clinical applicability these abnormalities as prognostic factors. Therefore, we designed a longitudinal study physiologic Natural Killer (NK) cell activity factor in AD. NK was assessed baseline measurement and response cortisol at 10(-6)M. To verify immunophysiological integrity population, tested augmentation...
The clinical use of lung ultrasound (LUS) has made more efficient many diagnostic processes at bedside. great power LUS is a superior sensitivity in applications, when compared to chest radiography (CXR). implementation emergency contributing reveal growing number radio-occult pulmonary conditions. In some diseases, the advantage, like for pneumothorax and edema. Diagnosing bedside pneumothoraxes, congestions, COVID-19 pneumonia that are visible by but undetected CXR may be decisive...
This case report presents a detailed account of 16-year-old student who experienced series psychiatric symptoms culminating in suicide attempt. He initially exhibited paranoid delusions, auditory hallucinations, and disorganized thinking, leading to his admission ward. The treatment with aripiprazole delorazepam led an improvement positive symptoms, but about two months after the onset psychotic patient developed debilitating depression persistent feelings sadness, hopelessness, suicidal...
BACKGROUND: Delirium is an acute state of confusion characterized by altered consciousness. This condition usually appears in hospitalized elderly subjects and increases its frequency as the patient's age increases. Patients with delirium arising during hospitalization have a higher short-term mortality rate, probability being institutionalized having physical disability exposes patients to greater risk developing neurodegenerative disorder. The aim this study specifically analyze percentage...
Transthoracic needle biopsy of lung lesions is a well-established procedure for the diagnosis lesions. The literature focuses on malignant with an often reported accuracy rate more than 90%. Experience showed that can identify sometimes incidentally, also benign There are many reasons why performed "benign lesion." First all, it may be unexpected diagnosis, as some pathologies have misleading presentations, very similar to cancer, otherwise reason only make exclusion, which leads pathology...
Safety of central venous catheter (CVC) placement relies on some general aspects, including selection the right vessel, correct lumen targeting while inserting needle, check position tip, and post-procedure for complications. All these four points can be guided by bedside ultrasound, but best technique to ensure CVC tip is still uncertain.
The emerging domain of epigenetics in molecular medicine finds application for a variety patient populations.Here, we present fundamental neuroendocrine immune evidence obtained patients with senile dementia the Alzheimer's type (sDAT), and discuss implications these data from viewpoint translational disease.We followed 18 subjects mild sDAT treated acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, 10 control matched age repeated measure design every six months months.We monitored psychosocial profile...
Many studies demonstrated that patients affected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may present venous thromboembolism (VTE) and respiratory complications from pulmonary embolism (PE) (1-3).However, PE in COVID-19 different clinical presentation, demographics, risk factors laboratory values when compared to other populations (4).Clinical indicators and/or predictors of should be carefully investigated standardized, which might allow rationalize the diagnostic process use computed...
Stress erythrocytosis is a well-known clinical condition with increased hematocrit, erythrocyte count and hemoglobin concentration in mixed venous blood. The due to lower-than-normal plasma volume rather than an number of erythrocytes; therefore, it constitutes false hemoconcentration polyglobulia. In the literature, description these patients arterial hypertension, obesity, sedentariness, as Gaisböck has already pointed out. syndrome associated this eponym presents severe significant...
<b>Background:</b> The Computed Tomography Scan (CT scan) was widely used for SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia evaluation and its correlation with clinical laboratory findings is useful in management. <b>Aims objectives:</b> This study examines the functional features of COVID-19 relation extent ground glass (GGO) consolidation areas defined by volumetric investigations on CT scan. <b>Methods:</b> Sixty-one patients attending emergency department were enrolled. A semi-automatic segmentation software to...
The evidence available suggests that cannabinoid-based products improve spasticity, chronic pain, and bladder dysfunction, which are common symptoms in more than 50% of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. In this paper we present three cases patients with progressive or relapsing forms MS, different severity, duration, various degrees hypertonia dysfuction, treated nabiximols (Sativex®). Nabiximols was administered as an oral spray to reduce MS-associated hypertonia. results show the efficacy...
