Invasive mechanical has been associated with high mortality in COVID-19. Alternative therapy of flow nasal (HFNT) greatly debated around the world for use COVID-19 pandemic due to concern increased healthcare worker transmission.This was a retrospective analysis consecutive patients admitted Temple University Hospital Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from 10 March 2020 24 April moderate-to-severe respiratory failure treated HFNT. Primary outcome prevention intubation. Of 445 COVID-19, 104 met our...
Abstract Ascaroside pheromones stimulate dispersal, a key nematode behavior to find new food source. Ascarosides produced by entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) drive infective juvenile (IJ) emergence from consumed cadavers and dispersal in soil. Without ascarosides host cadavers, Steinernema feltiae (EPN) reduce substantially. To determine whether other spp. exhibit the same behavior, we compared S. carpocapsae IJs without cadaver pheromones. Unlike , continued disperse. However, exhibited...
Background: Most safety and efficacy trials of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines excluded patients with cancer, yet these are more likely than healthy individuals to contract become seriously ill after infection. Our objective was record short-term adverse reactions COVID-19 vaccine in compare magnitude duration those without determine whether related active cancer therapy. Patients Methods: A prospective, single-institution observational study performed at an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer...
The use of high-flow nasal therapy (HFNT) to treat COVID-19 pneumonia has been greatly debated around the world due concerns about increased health care worker transmission and delays in invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Herein, we analyzed utility noninvasive ROX (ratio oxygen saturation) index predict need for timing IMV.This study aimed assess whether can be a useful score intubation IMV patients receiving HFNT as treatment COVID-19-related hypoxemic respiratory failure.This is...
Abstract Use of high flow nasal therapy (HFNT) to treat COVID-19 pneumonia has been greatly debated around the world due concern for increased healthcare worker transmission and delays in invasive mechanical Ventilation (IMV). Methods A retrospective analysis consecutive patients admitted Temple University Hospital Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from March 10, 2020, May 17, 2020 with moderate severe respiratory failure treated High Flow (HFNT). HFNT were divided into two groups: only progressed...

Abstract Background Lung transplant patients (LTPs) experience considerable infection-related morbidity and mortality, including from pneumonia. Our institution performs the highest volume of lung transplants in US, providing an opportunity to describe scope impact pneumonia LTPs. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study all who received at our late 2017 early 2020. Patient records were reviewed pre-transplant period 1-year after for data pertinent comorbidities, transplantation...
