Despite 2.5 million infections and 169,000 deaths worldwide (as of April 20, 2020), no maternal only a few pregnant women afflicted with severe respiratory morbidity have been reported to be related COVID-19 disease. Given the disproportionate burden fatal disease previously documented among following other coronavirus-related outbreaks (SARS-CoV in 2003 MERS-CoV 2012) influenza pandemics over last century, absence mortality is unexpected.To describe perinatal outcomes death case series...
To describe the prevalence of burnout among healthcare professionals dealing with COVID-19 patients and associated factors.In this cross-sectional survey, workers at six university-affiliated hospitals, who had been taking care were studied. Age, gender, marital status, having children, hospital, job category, experience, work load, as well level in each subscale measured.326 persons (53.0%) experienced high levels burnout. The average score emotional exhaustion, depersonalization lack...
Radiation therapy (RT), commonly used in cancer management, has been considered as one of the potential treatments for COVID-19 pneumonia. Here, we present results pilot trial evaluating low-dose whole-lung irradiation (LD-WLI) patients with pneumonia.Ten moderate pneumonia were treated LD-WLI a single fraction 0.5 or 1.0 Gy along national protocol. The primary endpoint was an improvement Spo2. secondary endpoints number days hospital/intensive care unit stay, intubations after RT, 28-day...
Abstract Background The unpredictable nature of the new COVID-19 pandemic and already alarming incidence healthcare workers being affected can have a significant impact on psychological well-being staff. Objective To describe prevalence burnout among professionals associated factors. Design Cross-sectional survey. Setting Eight university affiliated hospitals in capital city Tehran, Iran. Participants All at study sites who had been taking care patients. Measurements Age, gender, marital...
Hyperinflammatory state has a role in the pathogenesis of COVID-19. Anakinra could reduce inflammation and help to combat condition. In this study, we aimed assess safety efficacy anakinra (PerkinRA®) severe COVID-19.The study was an open-label, randomized, controlled trial conducted Imam Hossein Medical Center from May July 2020. Patients with confirmed diagnosis COVID-19 were included study. We administered 100 mg daily intravenously. All patients received pharmacotherapy based on...
Chronic infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV), Chlamydia pneumoniae, herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), and Helicobacter pylori may contribute to essential hypertension. However, the evidence now available does not clarify whether aggregate number of pathogens (pathogen burden) be associated Sera from 1,754 men women aged ≥25 years were analyzed for immunoglobulin G antibodies C. HSV-1, H. pylori, CMV using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The seropositives studied viral bacterial agents was...
The discrimination of bacterial infections from sterile inflammatory processes is great importance in the management inflammation. Currently available techniques cannot decisively address this issue. In respect, antimicrobial peptide Tc-ubiquicidin (UBI) 29-41 scans have been showing interesting results. aim study was to determine accuracy Tc-UBI scan detection osteomyelitis and compare it with Tc-methylene diphosphonate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Twenty patients (mean age=48.90 years)...
Background: Providencia species are opportunistic pathogens that can rarely cause nosocomial infections. They possess numerous virulence characteristics, such as intrinsic antibiotic resistance, which enable them to lethal outbreaks. The emergence of pan-drug resistant (PDR) isolates amplifies the threat spp. human health. Objectives: We described an outbreak caused by PDR in intensive care unit (ICU) our medical center. Methods: This occurred at Imam Hossein Hospital Tehran, Iran, between...
Purpose: Novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is the current global concern. Radiotherapy (RT), commonly employed in cancer management, has been considered one of potential treatments for COVID-19 pneumonia. Here, we present final report pilot trial evaluating efficacy and safety low-dose whole-lung irradiation (LD-WLI) patients with Methods Materials: We enrolled moderate pneumonia who were older than 60 years. Participants treated LD-WLI a single fraction 0.5 or 1.0Gy along national...
The global extent of COVID-19 mutations and the consequent depletion hospital resources highlighted necessity effective computer-assisted medical diagnosis. detection mediated by deep learning models can help diagnose this highly contagious disease lower infectivity mortality rates. Computed tomography (CT) is preferred imaging modality for building automatic screening diagnosis models. It well-known that training set size significantly impacts performance generalization However, accessing a...
A Case of pregnant woman (G2Ab1, twin pregnancy with microinjection, Gestational Age 23 weeks and 3 days) referred to our center a complaints fever dry cough dyspnea. She was admitted diagnosis COVID-19. During the hospitalization, O2 saturation progressively decreased, which led patient get intubate. Gradual recovery treatment occurred extubed. Unfortunately, she intubated again due decreased saturation, 5 days later. Liver enzymes increased, then both fetuses died intrauterine, cardiac...
IntroductionDiabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major complication of diabetes Mellitus. Early detection and intervention DN can slow its progression improve patients’ outcomes. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as marker tubular damage might become useful biomarker for the evaluation renal involvement in diabetic patients. We aimed to evaluate serum urine NGAL(s-NGAL u-NGAL) type 2 patients correlation with different stages nephropathy.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was...
Background and Objectives: Since the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic began, several vaccines have been manufactured to subside it.
