To evaluate the quality information on testicular cancer uploaded YouTube™ videos.YouTube™ videos were searched using "Testicular cancer" as a keyword. The Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool, Misinformation scale, and DISCERN tool used to assess of cancer.According selection criteria, 121 collected for analysis stratified according uploading year (2009-2014 vs 2015-2020). According Tool audio-visual content, overall Understandability score was 60% (interquartile range 45.5-75)...
Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) represent a severe complication of COVID-19, yet they are under-estimated. We conducted retrospective analysis including all the COVID-19 patients admitted to Infectious Diseases Unit Federico II University Hospital Naples until 1 July 2021. Among 409 patients, we reported seven cases IFIs by Candida spp., Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, three invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, and one Trichosporon asahii. None presented underlying predisposing conditions,...
Burnout is one of the main chronic health problems with negative consequences on caregivers but also quality care. This a multidimensional occupational syndrome, characterized by three criteria: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and low personal accomplishment (PA). particularly identified in professionals working caregiving human services, especially ones who are interpersonally stressed emotionally vulnerable. Intensive care seem to face critical risk burnout. study aiming...
Several cases of invasive fungal diseases in patients with COVID-19 have been reported, mostly due to Aspergillus spp., anecdotic reports Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) as co-infections immunocompromised patients. We describe the first case PJP an immunocompetent patient who recovered from pneumonia.Our was hospitalized for 18 d respiratory failure Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and successfully treated continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) support,...
Abstract Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) reconstructs functional lung images and evaluates the variations of during breathing cycle. The aim this study was to evaluate effect protective mechanical ventilation on distributions recorded by EIT elective robotic-assisted laparoscopy surgery with steep Trendelenburg position. This prospective, randomized single center included patients healthy lungs undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic urological in general anesthesia. Patients were...
Background: Very few cases of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) have been reported in COVID-19 so far, and mostly patients with concomitant HIV infection or solid-organ transplant recipients. Despite being associated lymphopenia the use steroids, there are no studies specifically aimed at investigating risk factors for PJP COVID-19. Methods: A retrospective case-control study was performed. We matched controls a 1:2 ratio, based on age ± 10 years, transplantation (SOT), hematological...
Background: An adequate early mobilization followed by an effective and pain-free rehabilitation are critical for clinical functional recovery after hip proximal femur fracture. A multimodal approach is always recommended so as to reduce the administered dose of analgesics, drug interactions, possible side effects. Peripheral nerve blocks should be considered in addition spinal or general anesthesia prolong postoperative analgesia. The pericapsular group (PENG) block appears a less invasive...
In late December 2019, SARS-CoV-2 was identified as the cause of a new pneumonia (COVID-19), leading to global pandemic declared by WHO on 11 March 2020, with significant human, economic, and social costs. Although most COVID-19 cases are asymptomatic or mild, 14% progress severe disease, 5% develop critical illness complications such interstitial pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), multiple organ dysfunction (MODS). primarily targets system but can affect organs due...
The virus SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2) causes COVID-19, a potentially fatal disease. COVID-19 vaccine is indicated for active immunization to prevent caused by SARS-CoV-2. We reported the case of 66-year-old woman with medical history hypertension and anxious-depressive syndrome who developed Guillain Barré (GBS) 4 weeks after receiving vaccine. During patient’s hospital stay, they received cycles high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) plasmapheresis...
The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2, has rapidly spread to become a global pandemic, putting strain on health care systems. SARS-CoV-2 infection may be associated with mild symptoms or, in severe cases, lead patients the intensive unit (ICU) or death. critically ill suffer from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis, thrombotic complications and multiple organ failure. For optimization of hospital resources, several molecular markers algorithms have been...
Obstetric patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) represent a challenge physicians. The purpose of this study is evaluate the incidence, characteristics, and mortality pregnant postpartum requiring ICU admission.A retrospective cohort was performed between January 2008 December 2013 at University Hospital Federico II Naples including puerperal women until 42nd day ICU.Patients with an obstetric diagnosis had higher incidence least one previous cesarean section, were treated more...
Abstract Background Percutaneous tracheostomy (PT) in patients with coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) included several critical steps associated increased risk of aerosol generation. We reported a modified PT technique aiming to minimize the generation and increase staff safety COVID‐19 patients. Methods was performed including use smaller endotracheal tube (ETT) cuffed at carina during procedure. Results The we proposed successfully three critically ill COVID‐19. Conclusions In patients,...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> Neurally-adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) improves patient-ventilator synchrony and reduces the risk of respiratory over-assistance. Variable pressure support ventilation (PSV) is a recently introduced mode assisted that has also shown reduction in asynchronies. We hypothesized NAVA would reduce asynchronies inspiratory effort compared to variable PSV because breathing variability was intrinsically determined by patient not ventilator. This study aimed evaluate...
Our hospital became a referral center for COVID-19-positive obstetric patients from 1 May 2020. The aim of our study is to illustrate management protocols patients, maintain safety standards and healthcare workers. Women who underwent vaginal or operative delivery induced spontaneous abortion with SARS-CoV-2-positive nasopharyngeal swab using real-time PCR (RT-PCR) were included in the study. Severity onset new symptoms carefully monitored postoperative period. All workers received...
Aim of the study: Maternal mortality and ICU admissions have increased during COVID-19 pandemic. We reported a case-series pregnant patients with admitted to an we compared them historical cohort without COVID-19. Methods: included all laboratory-confirmed infection our in 2021. As control group, women who were between 1 January 2008 31 December 2013. Results: In 2021, 11 (pts) ICU, representing 2.87% admissions. found that (1) had higher BMI (34.6 vs. 28.8, p = 0.04) lower gestational age...
