Aim: To evaluate the prediction capacity of urinary biomarkers for death in critically ill patients with COVID-19. Methods: This is a prospective study due to COVID-19 infection. The NGAL, KIM-1, MCP-1 and nephrin were quantified on ICU admission. Results: There was 40% death. Urinary had no association Tubular (proteinuria, NGAL KIM-1) predictors cut-off values them useful stratify worse prognosis. In multivariate cox regression analysis, only remains associated two-mount survival chance....
Background: Histoplasmosis is the most common endemic mycosis among people living with advanced HIV infection. Purpose: Describe general aspects and challenges of this disease its association HIV. Research Design: Review literature. Study Sample: Articles found using different combinations terms including “disseminated histoplasmosis” AIDS/HIV or immunosuppression in PubMed, Scopus, WHO Global health library, Scielo database. Analysis: We look for information on epidemiology, pathogenesis,...
Abstract Predicting risk factors for death in leptospirosis is challenging, and identifying high-risk patients crucial as it might expedite the start of life-saving supportive care. Admission data 295 were enrolled, a machine-learning approach was used to fit models derivation cohort. The comparison accuracy metrics performed with two previous models—SPIRO score quick SOFA score. A Lasso regression analysis selected model, demonstrating best predict mortality [area under curve (AUC-ROC) =...
Over the last years much research has been carried out, especially after influenza pandemic in 2009. It is known that many strains of virus are widely spread global population causing seasonal outbreaks every year. Influenza leads to flu-like symptoms, which present favorable prognosis, since most patients completely recover from it within two five days. Many new antiviral drugs have developed few years, but infection generally presents a mild course, symptom-based care often enough. can...
