BACKGROUND:Novel Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) has been in the spotlight since first cases were reported December 2019. COVID-19 found to cause severe acute respiratory distress syndrome and, more uncommonly, subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum. We present a case series of 3 patients with infection managed Intensive Care Unit have pneumomediastinum on chest imaging. CASE REPORT:We men, ages 36, 47, 78 years, diagnosed via RT-PCR, syndrome, Unit. Two described this mechanically...
Hypertension is a global health issue associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to investigate contemporary hypertension identification management trends following the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines.
Background: Chest pain is a prevalent and critical complaint among patients in emergency departments (EDs) across the United States. Professional societies have refined clinical guidelines to establish most effective diagnostic pathways for identifying obstructive coronary artery disease. However, many healthcare systems do not adhere guideline-validated instead order repeat testing. This study evaluated efficiency of care delivered chest our tertiary medical center. Methods: We performed...
Delivering bad news to patients is a challenging yet impactful everyday task in clinical practice. Ideally, healthcare practitioners should receive formal training implementing these protocols, practice simulation environments, and real-time supervision with feedback. We aimed investigate whether providers involved delivering have indeed received do so. conducted cross-sectional survey study that targeted all the intensive care units of 174 institutions 40 different countries. Participants...
BACKGROUND:Naloxone remains the mainstay for treatment of opioids overdose both in clinical and public settings. Naloxone has been showing relative safety, leading to trivial adverdse effects which are mostly due acute withdrawal effects, but when used patients with known long-term addiction, it usually requires additional dosing or rapid infusion achieve detoxification a timely manner sustain after they fade away. In some this resulted fatal adverse including non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema...
Abstract Background Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is usually a benign, yet underdiagnosed clinical condition associated with subacute to acute neurological manifestations primarily affecting white matter. PRES when recognized promptly and treated early by removal of the insulting factor; however, can lead irreversible life-threatening complications such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebellar herniation, refractory status epilepticus. Methods We utilized National Inpatient...
The objective of the study was to compare renal outcomes in patients presenting with all-cause cardiogenic shock who were supported by either Impella devices (Abiomed, Danvers, MA), intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), or vasopressors alone. Outcomes remain poor even advancement early revascularization and circulatory supportive care. Percutaneous mechanical support (MCS) device has emerged as an effective strategy protecting end organ function especially during high risk percutaneous coronary...
Degeneration of the cardiac conduction system resulting in complete heart block (CHB), ventricular arrhythmias (VA), and sudden death (SCD) is recognized patients with Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS) potentially preventable permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation. However, other mechanisms for SCD have been proposed, efficacy implanting a defibrillator instead PPM remains to be investigated.We utilized National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database 2016-2019 investigate risk VA or dysrhythmic arrest...
After several decades of continuous decline, the incidence tuberculosis (TB) has increased over last 10 years in regions world. No reports have been published describing epidemiology TB Kuwait.To examine trend Kuwait from 1965 to 1999 and analyse factors associated with this trend.Annual central unit were examined. Tuberculosis registers recommended by World Health Organization (WHO) International Union Against Lung Disease (IUATLD), which available for 1998 1999, also examined.The...
Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a well-known complication of diabetes mellitus with significantly high mortality if not immediately and properly treated. Therefore, strategies for prevention DKA are ever so important when managing mellitus, especially in the non-compliant patient population. Previously studies have suggested insulin pump use to carry an increased risk compared injections, while European suggest opposite. We aimed perform retrospective cohort study determine versus...
(1) Background: Jersey Shore University Medical Center (JSUMC) is a 646-bed tertiary medical center located in central New Jersey. Over the past several years, development and maturation of services at JSUMC has resulted tremendous growth, with inpatient volume increasing by 17% between 2016 2018. As hospital floors functioned maximum capacity, was frequently forced into crisis mode substantial increases emergency department (ED) waiting times paradoxical increase in-hospital length stay...
Coronary sinus thrombosis (CST) is a rare but life-threatening condition that involves clot formation within the vessel responsible for draining all of venous blood from myocardium itself. The coronary situated in right atrium approximately half-way between tricuspid value and inferior vena cava. rarely cited medical literature due to limited knowledge as well rarity clinical encounters. CST can be rapidly progressive emergency interruption vascular drainage result pericardial effusions,...
Colonoscopy is a procedure that enables physician (usually gastroenterologist) to directly image and examine the entire colon. It has both diagnostic therapeutic benefits with relatively low morbidity rate. Complications have been well described in literature. Nevertheless, it necessary for operators be aware of rare complications colonoscopy. Acute appendicitis an unusually occurrence following colonoscopy, can easily confused other procedure. Prompt recognition this complication lead...
Several prediction models have been proposed to assess the short outcomes and in-hospital mortality among patients with heart failure (HF). variables were used in common those models. We sought focus on other, yet important risk factors that can predict outcomes. also stratify based ejection fraction, matching both groups different factors.We conducted a retrospective cohort study utilizing Healthcare Cost Utilization Project National Inpatient Sample (HCUP-NIS) 2016 database.There totally...
