A pre-emptive transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (pTIPS) reduces mortality in high-risk patients with cirrhosis (Child-Pugh C/B+active bleeding) acute variceal bleeding (AVB). Real-life studies point out that <15% of eligible for pTIPS ultimately undergo (TIPS) due to concerns about hepatic encephalopathy (HE). The outcome undergoing HE is unknown. We aimed (1) assess the prevalence AVB; (2) evaluate presenting at admission after pTIPS; and (3) determine if a risk factor death...
External trigeminal nerve stimulation (ETNS) is an emergent, non-invasive neurostimulation therapy delivered bilaterally with adhesive skin electrodes. In previous studies, ETNS was associated to a decrease in seizure frequency patients focal drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE).To determine the long-term efficacy and tolerability of DRE. Moreover, explore whether its depends on epileptogenic zone (frontal or temporal), impact mood, cognitive function, quality life, excitability.Forty consecutive...
Supplemental magnesium sulfate has a potential neuroprotective role in acute brain injury. It is safe, widely available, and inexpensive. This study evaluated the effect of perioperative intravenous administration on damage caused by neurosurgery. Prospective randomized double-blind controlled study. Fifty adult patients undergoing supratentorial neurosurgery (25 were assigned to group 26 control group). On arrival operating room, intervention received sulfate, 4 g bolus 100 mL 0.9% saline...
(1) OBJECTIVE: To assess the performance of CA125, HE4, ROMA index and CPH-I to preoperatively identify epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) or metastatic in ovary (MCO). (2) METHODS: single center retrospective study, including women with a diagnosis adnexal mass. We obtained AUC, sensitivity, specificity predictive values were for EOC MCO. Subgroup analysis harboring masses inconclusive malignancy by ultrasound features Stage I was performed. (3) RESULTS: 1071 patients included, 852 (79.6%)...
Long-term benefits of initiating stroke prophylaxis in the emergency department (ED) are unknown. We analyzed long-term safety and ED prescription anticoagulation atrial fibrillation patients.Prospective, multicenter, observational cohort consecutive patients was performed 62 Spanish EDs. Clinical variables thromboprophylaxis prescribed at discharge were collected inclusion. Follow-up 1 year post-discharge included data about its complications, major bleeding, death; risk assessed with...
Abstract Background & Aims Sustained virological response (SVR) to direct‐acting antivirals ameliorates portal hypertension, improves hepatic function and may reverse the procoagulant state observed in patients with cirrhosis. However, an unexpected incidence of vein thrombosis (PVT) immediately after antiviral therapy has recently been reported. Therefore, we analysed long‐term impact SVR on development non‐tumoural PVT. Methods Our study comprised two well‐characterized prospective...
Researchers in public health are often interested examining the effect of several exposures on incidence a recurrent event. The aim present study is to assess how well common-baseline hazard models perform estimate multiple presenting an episode event, presence event dependence and when history prior-episodes unknown or not taken into account.Through comprehensive simulation study, using specific-baseline as reference, we evaluate performance by means criteria: bias, mean squared error,...
Unprotected and fragile elderly people in nursing homes experienced the highest mortality rates during initial coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Our aim was to study role of two oral anti-inflammatory drugs, colchicine prednisone, patients with COVID-19 geriatric centers. A phase II/III, randomized, controlled, multicenter clinical trial performed a population comparing efficacy safety an combination prednisone (60 mg/day for 3 days) (at loading doses 1–1.5 days, followed by 0.5...
