Background The performance of pocket mobile ultrasound devices (PUDs) is comparable with that standard ultrasonography, whereas the accuracy a physical examination often poor requiring further tests to assess diagnostic hypotheses. Adding use PUD could lead an incremental benefit. Aim We assessed whether in context can reduce prescription additional when used by physicians different clinical settings. Methods conducted cohort impact study four hospital medical wards, one gastroenterological...
SARS-CoV2 infection is a systemic disease that may involve multiple organs, including the central nervous system (CNS).

Patients classified according symptoms at entry (1) isolated respiratory, (2) combined respiratory neurologic, (3) neurologic (4) stroke...
Only a few studies provided data on the clinical history of sepsis within internal Medicine units. The aim study was to assess short-term mortality and evaluate prognostic risk factors in large cohort septic patients treated medicine Thirty-one units participated study. Within each participating unit, all admitted were screened for presence sepsis. A total 533 included; 78 (14.6%, 95%CI 11.9, 18.0%) died during hospitalization; rate 5.5% (95% CI 3.1, 9.6%) with nonsevere 20.1% (95%CI 16.2,...
