To assess the clinical pictures, possible pathogenesis, management, and therapy of patients with infectious scleritis associated multifocal scleral abscesses following pterygium excision.The records after excision who developed presenting from 1988 to end 1995 were reviewed. Early culture was performed, topical, systemic antimicrobials, or both given all patients. Fourteen eyes operated on in addition antimicrobial treatment.The initial reports ulcers identified Pseudomonas species 12 these...
Abstract Background Neurological outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) depend on multiple factors, including the patient’s baseline condition and post-arrest management. The SLANT, developed specifically for OHCA survivors treated with targeted temperature management (TTM), requires further validation, particularly in Asian populations. Methods This multicenter retrospective cohort study analyzed data from 2016 to 2023, examining demographics, pre-arrest conditions,...
Background ABO blood type has been associated with various disease outcomes, but its relationship outcomes in patients sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) remains unexplored. Methods This was a retrospective analysis of adult out-of-hospital SCA treated at three major branches the National Taiwan University Hospital between January 2016 and July 2023. The variables examined for their possible influence on neurological survival were sociodemographic characteristics, pre-existing diseases,...
The mitogenic effect of activated coagulation factor X (factor Xa) was examined in cultured aortic smooth muscle cells (VSMC) from Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). Factor Xa stimulated DNA synthesis and cell growth VSMC, not through the phospholipase C-protein kinase C pathway because increase inositol monophosphate (IP) accumulation intracellular Ca2+ concentration observed, but probably via PDGF receptor tyrosine since pathway's components, Ras, Raf-1, MAPK (both 42 44 kD), transcription factors,...
AIM: To investigate causes and clinical findings of non-tuberculous mycobacterial keratitis, to study its response topical antibiotic therapy surgical extirpative keratectomy. METHOD: A single centre, retrospective review 22 patients with keratitis seen in a 3 year period. Laboratory diagnoses were established Ziehl-Nielsen acid fast staining Löwenstein-Jensen cultures. RESULTS: In 20 (91%), there was an antecedent history foreign body eye trauma (18 patients) or elective surgery (two...
We report six eyes in patients which corneal decompensation developed 18 or more months after argon laser iridectomy (ALI). In addition to the level of energy used, other risk factors included performing ALI during an attack, diabetes, and a cornea damaged by glaucomatous attack. The interval between ranged from 3 1/2 years.
Cerebral computed tomography (CT) and various severity scoring systems have been developed for the early prediction of neurological outcomes cardiac arrest survivors. However, few studies combined these approaches. Therefore, we evaluated value combination cerebral CT score neuroprognostication.
Objectives While corticosteroids have been hypothesized to exert protective benefits in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, data remain mixed. This study sought investigate the outcomes of methylprednisone administration an Italian cohort hospitalized confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods Patients confirmatory testing for were retrospectively enrolled from a tertiary university hospital Milan, Italy March 1st April 30th, 2020 and divided into two groups by corticosteroids....
The Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) score proposed by Sepsis-3 as a sepsis screening tool has shown suboptimal accuracy. Heparin-binding protein (HBP) been to identify early with high Herein, we aim investigate whether or not HBP improves the model performance of qSOFA.We conducted multicenter prospective observational study 794 adult patients who presented emergency department (ED) presumed between 2018 and 2019. For each participant, serum levels were measured hospital...
The paper considers the optimal design of two-channel nonuniform-division maximally decimated filter bank (NDMDFB) systems with linear-phase analysis/synthesis filters. Based on L1 error criterion, authors formulate two problems, namely, reconstruction and stopband response for analysis filters, least-squares They are usually nonlinear optimisation problems. To avoid requirement performing any complicated techniques each design, problems reformulated using a linearisation scheme. As result,...
Traumatic thyroid hemorrhage is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. Bilateral even rarer. Herein, we report case of traumatic bilateral treated with nonoperative management. A 49-year-old woman preexisting goiter presented to the emergency department after traffic accident. She had neck swelling and tenderness; however, no stridor or respiratory distress was noted. mild tracheal deviation right diagnosed computed tomography. Nonoperative management intensive monitoring were...
BACKGROUND Multiple trauma deserves early prognostication and stratification. Copeptin, a precursor of vasopressin, is produced in response to stress. We examined the association between serum levels copeptin mortality risk patients with multiple trauma. aimed also enhance previously established Trauma-Related Injury Severity Score (TRISS) Mechanism, GCS, Age, Arterial Pressure (MGAP) score additional consideration levels. METHODS This single-center prospective cohort study enrolled who...
