Aortic stiffness, a cardiovascular risk factor, depends on the operating mean arterial pressure (MAP). The impact of aortic stiffness outcomes is proposed to be mediated by attenuation or reversal gradient. We hypothesized that gradient less influenced changes in MAP. aimed study relationship between MAP and brachial In cross-sectional dialysis cohort (group A, n=304) hypertensive kidney transplant recipient with an estimated glomerular filtration rate >45 mL/min/1.73 m 2 B, n=114), we...
Background Reservoir‐wave approach is an alternative model of arterial hemodynamics based on the assumption that measured pressure composed volume‐related (reservoir pressure) and wave‐related components (excess pressure). However, clinical utility reservoir‐wave remains debatable. Methods Results In a single‐center cohort 260 dialysis patients, we examined whether carotid radial parameters were associated with all‐cause cardiovascular mortality. Central pulse augmentation index at 75 beats...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability emergency physicians with various levels point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) experience detect appendicitis POCUS among children visiting a pediatric department (ED).A prospective cohort conducted in an urban, tertiary care ED. Children aged 2 18 years old who presented acute abdominal pain suggesting were included. Patients excluded if they had history appendectomy or hemodynamic instability requiring resuscitation transferred proven diagnosis...
The application of emergency point-of-care ultrasound has been expanding in pediatric medicine for a decade. In this case series, we describe the detection papilledema patients presenting to department using technology and its potential impact on their clinical care.
Angiopoietin-like-2 (ANGPTL2) is a secreted proinflammatory glycoprotein that promotes endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Circulating ANGPTL2 increased in chronic kidney (CKD), where the risk of CVD amplified. The objectives present study were to (i) examine whether transplantation (KTx) reduces levels, (ii) identify determinants after KTx, (iii) association with aortic stiffness, (iv) assess impact on mortality KTx.In 75 patients, serum levels...
Abstract Objectives The objective was to compare the efficacy of an oral sucrose versus placebo in reducing pain infants 1 3 months age during intravenous ( IV ) cannulation emergency department. Methods A randomized, double‐blind, clinical trial conducted. Participants were randomly allocated receive 2 mL 88% solution or a orally. outcome measure mean difference score at minute post– assessed by Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability Pain Scale FLACC Neonatal Infant NIPS ), crying...
Abstract We present a case series of 2 patients who presented to pediatric emergency department with history and symptoms suggestive diaphragmatic hernia. Point-of-care ultrasound was used at the bedside demonstrate presence bowel in thorax accurately guided care these children.
In chronic kidney disease, the enhanced aortic stiffness increases risk of cardiovascular events. Kidney transplantation (KTx) may improve stiffness; however, it is unclear whether improvement merely outcome reduction blood pressure (BP) post-KTx. Furthermore, long-term trajectory remains uncertain, as activation immune system have a negative impact on arterial wall property.Using β0 BP-independent parameter, and statistical adjustment for BP, we aimed to examine early vs. late changes in...
Abstract Objective The aim of our study was to evaluate the test characteristics point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) performed by emergency physicians with varying levels experience among children having undergone diagnostic radiology for intussusception in a pediatric department (PED). Methods This subanalysis prospective cohort conducted at tertiary care PED. population sample younger than 5 years old who required an abdominal suspected intussusception. Participating had POCUS experience....
Background: Trying to differentiate serious bacterial infection (SBI) from a self-limiting illness in febrile infants seen the pediatric emergency department (PED) is significant challenge. The aim of study was determine prevalence dehydration and its relationship SBI full-term newborns under 1 week age PED. Methods: A retrospective observational carried out on all children younger than 8 days with fever who presented single, tertiary care, PED January 2009 April 2014. Dehydration defined as...
Persons with inherited bleeding disorders are at a substantial risk of following dental procedures.To compare the outcomes and use haemostatic treatment pre- post-implementation standardized protocol for procedures Hemophilia Treatment Centre.We conducted retrospective cohort study outpatient inpatient maxillofacial surgeries sustained by people treated comprehensive Centre (2013-2020), comparing patients' before after introduction in 2018. The protocol, built using multidisciplinary...
Delirium is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in critically ill medical surgical patients. However, patients suffering from trauma are generally excluded these studies. Our objectives were to assess the incidence of delirium identify modifiable risk factors among
The Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM- ICU) and Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC) are recommended routine delirium screening. However, literature about assessment in traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains scarce. aim of our study was to evaluate validity reliability CAM-ICU ICDSC patients with mild moderate TBI.
