Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is an infectious illness that frequently motivates hospital admission when comorbid conditions are present. However, the epidemiology of CAP in relation to underlying disease patients not well known. We performed a prospective multicenter study with aim assessing clinical characteristics, etiology, and outcome chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD) CAP. Between October 1992 December 1994 we studied 124 COPD (mean FEV1 40 +/- 11% predicted, mean FVC/FEV1 49...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a frequent comorbidity in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). We investigated the impact of COPD on outcomes CAP patients. prospectively studied clinical presentation 1,379 admitted during 4-yr period. A comparative analysis severity and course was performed between 212 COPD, as confirmed by spirometry, 1,167 non-COPD (mean forced expiratory volume 1 s 47.7 ± 16.3% predicted) were older more likely to have previously received...
Processes of care and adherence to guidelines have been associated with improved survival in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). In sepsis, bundles processes also increased survival. We aimed audit compliance guideline-recommended its impact on outcome hospitalised CAP patients sepsis. prospectively studied 4,137 13 hospitals. The evaluated were antibiotic prescription guidelines, first dose within 6 h oxygen assessment. Outcome measures mortality length stay (LOS). Oxygen assessment was...
The aetiological diagnosis of nosocomial pneumonia in intensive care unit (ICU) patients requires a valid, cheap and safe method. This method should be suitable for all mechanically-ventilated ICUs. aim this study was to assess the diagnostic yields three methods: "blind" bronchial brushing (Accu-Cath)(protective specimen brush-nonbronchofibroscopic (PSB-non BF)); bronchofibroscopic protected (PSB-BF) bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). We prospectively studied values methods as well agreement...
This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of influenza-like illness (ILI), from October 2009 May 2010, in a group patients suffering chronic inflammatory rheumatism and treated with biological therapies. At end 2009-2010 influenza season, 159 under therapies answered questionnaire distributed 8 months before were deeply interviewed. The included 69 men 90 women (mean age 47.6); forty-nine rheumatoid arthritis, 61 psoriatic 32 ankylosing spondylitis 17 other spondyloarthritis; 146...
We report a case of cavitary pneumonia caused by N. otitidiscaviarum in man with diabetes mellitus and thrombocytopenia treated systemic corticosteroid. Taxonomic identification involved phenotypic testing molecular that was carried out DNA sequencing the 16SrRNA gene.
• Oxygen-derived free radicals have been shown to be important mediators in ischemia-reperfusion injury skin flaps. Agents that reduce the level of these used improve flap survival model systems. An vitro study interactions between amino acids and hydroxyl by electron spin resonance spectroscopy suggests an intrinsic radical scavenging activity certain acids. The ability acute axial-random was examined a rat model. Cysteine, methionine, proline, hydroxyproline, histidine, phenylalanine,...
Abstract Aim To evaluate the application of an angiographic tool (Global Limb Anatomic Staging System - GLASS) designed to predict immediate treatment failure (ITF) and other clinical outcomes in patients undergoing revascularisation for chronic limb threatening ischaemia (CLTI) using a large prospective registry. Method The Bypass versus Angioplasty Severe Ischaemia Leg Prospective Cohort Study (BASIL-PCS) collated data regarding 152 with CLTI who presented academic vascular unit underwent...
Paratesticular fibrous pseudotumors are rare, benign proliferations that pose significant diagnostic challenges due to their resemblance fibroblastic soft tissue tumors. We report a young adult male who presented with right scrotal mass, initially considered be solitary tumor (SFT) but ultimately diagnosed as pseudotumor. Histopathologic examination revealed well-circumscribed, hyalinized, hypocellular spindle cell mass inflammatory features. Despite the marginal Signal transducer and...
