Abstract Past suicide attempt has been consistently reported to be the best predictor of future attempt. The need identify predictors that can targets therapy is great importance. Coping styles and defense mechanisms have now linked in numerous reports. In this study, we expand on past research by exploring differences mechanism use between three groups: 1) without current ideation/attempt; 2) with ideation/no attempt; 3) We also explored contribution covariates, such as symptom severity...
Self-deception has become a construct of great interest in individual differences research because it been associated with levels resilience and mental health. The Balanced Inventory Desirable Responding (BIDR) is self-report measure used for quantifying self-deception. In this study we Rasch modeling to examine the properties self-deception scale BIDR terms dimensionality, use response category, sample appropriateness, reliability. A total 315 university students (ages 18-21) were...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has recently been found to cause cutaneous vasculitis in patients. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a type of small and medium vessel that often associated pulmonary issues shown raise diagnostic complications COVID-19 infection. In this report, we discuss the first case new-onset GPA setting active Symptoms overlap between two diseases, while there no current cure for COVID-19, rapid immunosuppressive initiation can be lifesaving patients...
Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a very rare form of skin that localized primarily to the subcutaneous adipose tissue without palpable involvement lymph nodes. Diagnosis SPTCL challenge, especially during its early phases when symptoms mimic other, more common conditions, such as benign panniculitis, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis and cellulitis. Clinical systemic features are nonspecific can include fever, chills, weight loss. Further complicating diagnosis high...
Alcohol and drug abuse continue to be major causes of morbidity mortality have significant social economic ramifications. Studies shown that for every $1 spent on substance use disorder treatment, $4 are saved healthcare costs. Characterizing the resource utilization these patients may shed light burden disease opportunities intervention. A retrospective chart review all admitted ICU between July 1, 2017 December 31, was completed. Variables regarding demographic clinical characteristics as...
Paucity of data exists on presenting symptoms and outcomes in infants with COVID-19. Reports coinfection COVID-19 influenza B are sparse the literature. Coinfection was uncovered during evaluation neonatal apnea. Apnea has been reported SARS-CoV-2 infection, though it is rare. We describe a 2-week-old healthy term infant apnea coinfection. The had mild clinical course complete recovery.
Pericardial effusions are not uncommon in rheumatoid arthritis (RA); however, they rarely the presenting symptom of disease. We describe a 55-year-old female who presented to emergency department with complaints chest pain and dyspnea on exertion. Initial workup revealed medium-sized pericardial effusion. The wide spectrum etiologies, including infectious non-infectious disease, was explored. Eventually, after ruling out an array disease states, rheumatologic positive for RA. initial...
Bacteremia and sepsis are significant contributors to the morbidity, mortality, economic burden of health care systems worldwide. Procalcitonin has been identified as a potentially useful marker disease severity in sepsis. However, assumption that greater procalcitonin levels correlate with not adequately studied.A retrospective chart review adult patients admitted an urban teaching hospital suspected was undertaken test association elevated (>30 ng/mL) other markers (lactic acid, white...
Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an organism causing significant mortality and morbidity with nosocomial infections. Ceftaroline a new cephalosporin antibiotic that has activity against MRSA. In the USA, this not been approved for use in pneumonia caused by Objectives: To review of ceftaroline MRSA US hospital evaluate its clinical success. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted urban community assessing pneumonia. Results: The success comparable to...
Abstract Objectives To compare clinical characteristics and outcomes of infants born to COVID-19 non mothers at delivery in a community hospital Queens, New York. Methods Case-control study conducted March 15 June 15, 2020. Cases were with laboratory-confirmed infection delivery. The infant mother before after each case selected as controls. Results Of 695 deliveries, 62 (8.9%) mothers; 124 controls selected. Among cases, 18.3% preterm compared 8.1% (p=0.04). In birth weight was not...
