The impact of malnutrition on the outcome hospitalized adults with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) has not been fully investigated. This study evaluated prevalence and prognostic significance in a Korean population CAP.
It is unclear whether sarcopenia responsible for long-term mortality in patients who require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) acute respiratory failure. We retrospectively reviewed 127 underwent computed tomography imaging before initiating ECMO from June 2014 to November 2017. The were divided into two groups according the skeletal muscle index (SMI): low SMI (n = 47) and high 80). Mean age was lower group than (60.2 vs. 53.9 years, p 0.002). body mass higher (21.6 24.1 kg/m 2 ,...
Evidence for immediate postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) is still lacking in the era of minimally invasive video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). We evaluated safety and feasibility general ward (GW) after VATS lobectomy lung cancer.A total 451 patients who underwent cancer between June 2012 August 2017 were retrospectively studied. The divided into two groups (ICU 344 vs. GW 107). compared complications mortality propensity score matching. Furthermore, we clinical factors associated...
Objective Although a series of trials support that rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with increased atherosclerosis, the link between microvascular structural changes and disease activity RA has not been clarified. We measured in retinal micro-vasculature using fundus fluorescein angiography (FAG) investigated association vasculature clinical parameters RA. Methods Seventy-five patients sixty healthy control were included. Morphometric quantitative features capillary images including...
Background Oxygen supplementation through a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is powerful technique that promotes the absorption of air by delivering high concentrations oxygen to patients who are not intubated, and may be viable treatment option for pneumocephalus. Case Report A 75-year-old female presented in stuporous state. She had received an epidural injection due back pain 2 hours ago. Non-contrast brain computed tomography revealed pneumocephalus at interhemispheric fissure prepontine...
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a condition characterized by the calcification and ossification of soft tissue, can lead to severe cervical kyphosis, presenting with spectrum physical complaints including dysphagia, hoarseness, stridor, aspiration pneumonia, dyspnea due airway compromise.Restrictive ventilatory impairment very rare.We encountered 73-year-old man DISH progressive dysphagia over few months.The symptoms were evaluated video fluoroscopy swallowing study...
Apical ballooning syndrome (ABS), also referred to as stress cardiomyopathy, is characterized by acute left ventricular dysfunction following a stressful situation. Diagnosis of ABS made in the scenarios: transient hypokinesia or dyskinesia segment, absence obstructive coronary disease, new electrocardiogram abnormalities, recent significant head trauma, pheochromocytoma, myocarditis, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Prognosis usually favorable since wall motion abnormality returns normal...
Infliximab, which is indicated for refractory rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and Crohn's disease, has cutaneous adverse events including skin rash, urticaria, pruritus, lupus-like eruption. Psoriasis induced by infliximab very rare. In Korea, it infrequently reported in disease or RA never AS. We encountered a case of psoriasis treatment AS, report here on this along with review the relevant literature.
