Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Outcome has improved during last decades due to secondary prevention and widespread coronary interventions, but recent studies still show sex differences insufficient drug adherence. We aimed determine in treatment strategies outcomes between women men with ST-elevation (STEMI) Germany.From Federal Association Local Health Insurance Funds (Allgemeine Ortskrankenkasse), 175,187 patients were identified who hospitalized...
Dysphagia is a common complication of critical illness, and many known risk factors are also present in critically ill coronavirus disease 2019 victims.To investigate dysphagia patients with severe 2019.In this case series, we report results dedicated evaluation swallowing function six consecutive, tracheotomized after they had survived acute respiratory distress syndrome were weaned from the respirator.Dysphagia was assessed flexible endoscopic swallowing.Three suffered airway compromise...
Background: The prone position (PP) is increasingly used in mechanically ventilated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. However, studies investigating the influence of PP are currently lacking these This first study to investigate on oxygenation and decarboxylation COVID-19 Methods: A prospective bicentric design was used, patients, indicated from a partial pressure oxygen arterial blood (PaO2)/fraction inspired (FIO2) ratio <200....
Background: Temporary mechanical circulatory support devices (tMCS) are increasingly being used in patients with infarct-associated cardiogenic shock (AMICS). Evidence on patient selection, complications and long-term outcomes is lacking. We aim to investigate differences clinical characteristics, between receiving no tMCS or either intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) Impella® for AMICS, a particular focus outcomes. Methods: Using...
Excessive tryptophan metabolism to kynurenine by the rate-limiting enzyme endothelial indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO) controls arterial vessel relaxation and causes hypotension in murine endotoxemia. However, its relevance human endotoxemia has not been investigated so far. We thus aimed study changes blood pressure parallel with levels during experimental humans.Six healthy male volunteers were given E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 4 ng/kg) as a 1-min intravenous infusion. They had of...
Abstract Background Capnocytophaga canimorsus , a Gram-negative rod, belongs to the Flavobacteriaceae family and colonizes oropharynx of dogs cats. Infections with C. are rare can induce systemic infection severe course disease. So far, only five case reports infections associated Waterhouse–Friderichsen Syndrome (WFS) have been reported two patients having history splenectomy. Case presentation Here, we report fatal WFS due bacteremia mycetal superinfection in 61-year-old female asplenic...
Abstract Acute myocardial infarction-associated cardiogenic shock (AMICS) remains a condition with high mortality. Some patients require mechanical circulatory support (MCS) as their deteriorates. Sex-specific differences in risk factors and outcomes of cardiovascular disease have previously been described but are inconclusive regarding the use MCS AMICS. We aimed to investigate these focus on long-term outcomes. Health claim data from AOK – Die Gesundheitskasse (local health care funds) for...
