There is limited information on severe acute respiratory syndrome virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in children.We retrieved data from the national database SARS-CoV-2 infections. We studied in-family transmission. The level of viral load was categorized as high, moderate, or low based cycle threshold values.We 203 SARS-CoV-2-infected children (median age: 11 years; range: 6 days to 18.4 years); 111 (54.7%) had an asymptomatic infection. Among 92 (45.3%) with coronavirus disease 2019...
We evaluated the antibody responses in 259 potential convalescent plasma donors for Covid-19 patients. Different assays were used: a commercial ELISA detecting antibodies against recombinant spike protein (S1); multiplex assay total and specific isotypes three SARS-CoV-2 antigens (S1, basic nucleocapsid (N) receptor-binding domain (RBD)); an in-house to complete spike, RBD N 60 of these donors. Neutralizing (NAb) also Analyzed samples collected at median time 62 (14–104) days from day first...
Abstract Background Blood transfusions are common in cardiac surgery, but have been associated with increased morbidity and long-term mortality. Efforts to reduce blood product use during surgery include fluid restriction minimize hemodilution, protocols guide transfusion decisions. INVOS is a modality that monitors brain tissue oxygen saturation, could be useful guiding decisions transfuse. However, the role of (brain saturation) as part an algorithm direct has not evaluated. This study was...
The association of chronic inflammatory markers with the clinical outcome after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic (AAA) was investigated. We included 230 patients, treated electively EVAR. values neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet–lymphocyte (PLR) were measured pre- postoperatively. Any major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) acute kidney injury (AKI) recorded. Adverse events occurred in 12 patients (5.2%). Seven suffered from MACE five AKI. Median NLR...
Abstract Background Cardiac surgery is a major consumer of blood products, and hemodilution increases transfusion requirements during cardiac under CPB. As intraoperative parenteral fluids contribute to hemodilution, we evaluated the hypothesis that fluid restriction reduces packed red-cell (PRC) use, especially in transfusion-prone adults undergoing elective surgery. Methods 192 patients were randomly assigned restrictive (group A, 100 pts), or liberal B, 92 pts) intravenous administration....
The performance of separate Intensive Care Unit (ICU) status scoring systems vis-à-vis prediction outcome is not satisfactory. Computer-based predictive modeling techniques may yield good results but their has seldom been extensively compared to that other mature or emerging models. objective the present study was twofold: propose a prototype meta-level predicting approach concerning survival and evaluate effectiveness typical mining models in this context.Data on 158 men 46 women, were used...
It remains unknown whether chronic systemic inflammation is associated with impaired microvascular perfusion during surgery. We evaluated the association between preoperative basal inflammatory state, measured by plasma soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) levels, and intraoperative sublingual microcirculatory variables in patients undergoing major non-cardiac Plasma suPAR levels were determined 100 surgery using suPARnostic® quick triage lateral flow assay. assessed...
Amaç: Kan transfüzyonu sık uygulanan hayat kurtarıcı bir tedavidir ancak sıklıkla alloimmünizasyon ile komplike olur
Background: We evaluated the 30-day postoperative outcome after elective endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and possible predictors for outcome. Materials: Demographics, medical history, laboratory values, intensive care unit (ICU) admission complications classified as major (major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), acute kidney injury (AKI) death of any cause) minor (postimplantation syndrome (PIS), delirium (POD), urinary tract infection (UTI) technical graft failure) were documented...
We report three cases with concomitant ipsilateral proximal common carotid and internal artery stenosis treated in one stage endarterectomy retrograde primary stenting of the artery. The was clamped during to avoid cerebral embolization. All procedures were successfully completed all patients remain asymptomatic at 18 months follow up. one-stage hybrid approach appears be a safe effective procedure for treatment multifocal significant lesions.
The cost-effectiveness of universal leucoreduction blood components remains unclear. When using leucoreduced red cells, the decrease in rate febrile non-haemolytic transfusion reactions (FNHTR) is only proven, meaningful clinical benefit, whose relationship to costs can be calculated relatively easily. aim this study was evaluate avoiding FNHTR.Data were obtained from two large tertiary hospitals Athens, Greece, over a 4-year period (2009-2012). incidence FNHTR patients transfused with or...
The aim of this study was to assess the long-term outcome carotid disease treatment with endarterectomy or stenting (CEA CAS) in a real-world setting during 10-year period.A single center retrospective prospectively collected data including patients (symptomatic asymptomatic) being treated CEA CAS. Survival, restenosis, stroke and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were outcomes.A total 413 (mean age 69±3.5 years; 80%, 333/413 males) (83.7%, 346/413) CAS (16.3%, 67/413). Most asymptomatic...
Hospital admission during nighttime and off hours may affect the outcome of patients with various cardiovascular conditions due to suboptimal resources personnel availability, but data for acute heart failure remain controversial. Therefore, we studied outcomes according their time from global International Registry assess medical practice lOngitudinal obseRvation Treatment Heart Failure.Overall, 18 553 were divided into 'morning' (7:00-14:59), 'evening' (15:00-22:59), 'night' (23:00-06:59)...
This study evaluated the feasibility and safety of open radical cystectomy (RC) under combined regional anesthesia (CRA) in high-risk octogenarian patients.We retrospectively medical records high-risk, bladder cancer patients submitted to RC with CRA. Demographic clinical data, intraoperative parameters perioperative postoperative complications were recorded using Clavien-Dindo classification.In total, 14 male 4 female patients, a median age 82.5 years enrolled. Ureterocutaneostomy was...
