The study aimed to describe the clinical course, outcomes, and prognostic factors of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure.This retrospective involved failure due COPD any cause admitted intensive care unit (ICU) for non-invasive or invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) support between December 2015 February 2020.One hundred were evaluated. main causes bronchitis, pneumonia, heart failure. patients' mean Acute Physiology Chronic...

There is little data regarding the diagnostic ability of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in acute coronary syndrome. Therefore, we aimed to assess predictive value NLR discrimination troponin-positive patients. We enrolled 244 patients (mean age 61.3 ± 11.7 years, 70.5% male) who presented emergency service with chest pain. Patients were divided into 2 groups based upon troponin positivity 12- 24-hour follow-up. The admission was significantly higher group (5.49 4.01 vs 2.40 1.36, P <...

The aims of the study are to detect whether there any possible effects chronic carbon monoxide (CO) exposure on argyrophilic nucleolar-organizing region (AgNOR)-associated protein synthesis and evaluate relationship between amount AgNOR level myocardial injury also histopathological evaluation methods. Adult male albino Wistar rats (n = 18) were randomly divided into three groups (groups A, B, C). Group A served as control, while B C exposed CO gas chronically (1000 3000 ppm concentration...

Weather conditions are thought to increase the risk of stroke occurrence. But their mechanism has not yet been clarified. We investigated possible relationships between ischemic and weather including atmospheric pressure, temperature, relative humidity, wind speed.One hundred twenty-eight patients with who had admitted our hospital January 1 December 31, 2010 were enrolled in this study. relationship daily cases same day or 1, 2, 3 days before stroke.A negative correlation was found maximum...

This study aimed to assess the demographic characteristics, emergency department (ED) complaints, laboratory findings, and latent phase periods of patients who presented ED due mushroom poisoning (MP) as well efficacy conventional hemofiltration therapies.The was conducted on with MP between 2010 2012. The patient's complaints at ED, phases, treatments cases were evaluated.The mean age 38.03 ± 15.96, where 63.8% them female 36.2% male. Visits occurred most frequently in autumn (32.6%). When...

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless and odourless gas appearing as result of incomplete combustion carbon-containing fuels. Many domestic or occupational poisonings are caused by CO exposure. Malfunctioning heating systems, improperly ventilated motor vehicles, generators, grills, stoves residential fires may be listed in the common sources The aim this study was to emphasize significance early diagnosis poisoning with non-invasive measurement levels patients non-specific symptoms using...

Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate therapeutic and preventive effects N-acetyl cysteine erdosteine on renal injury associated with paracetamol (acetaminophen) intoxication. Materials methods: Female albino Wistar rats were divided into six groups: control; (1 g/kg, oral); oral) + (150 mg/kg/day, (140 mg/kg bolus, followed by 70 mg/kg, control oral). Potential assessed using biochemical analyses, radionuclide imaging, histopathological parameters. Results: In group, blood...

Objective: To compare the usefulness of shock index (SI) and lactate for prediction 24-hour 28-day mortality in acute heart failure (AHF) patients.Study Design: A descriptive study.

This study aims to evaluate possible effects of chronic carbon monoxide (CO) exposure on argyrophilic nucleolar–organizer region (AgNOR)-associated protein synthesis in striated muscle cells. Eighteen rats were randomly divided into three groups. Rats group II and III given CO gas (1000 3000 ppm, respectively) for 30 min a day 7 d. Mean AgNOR number per nucleus ratio total area nuclear (TAA/NA) determined. Both TAA/NA mean provided information about the existence or absence exposure. was...

Reviewing the reasons for return visits within 24 hours is a very important method of determining possible problems emergency health care. Several causes stay behind unscheduled visits. Therefore, identifying these factors crucial to set strategies in order decrease number unnecessary visits.To define characteristics patients returning Paediatric Emergency Department (PED) via rate, and demographic data patients.The present study design involves retrospective collection who returned PED...

The control...

Abstract Aim of the Study Non-thyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS) is often observed in critically ill patients. This study aimed to examine thyroid hormone changes patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) experiencing acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHRF) and evaluate impact these alterations on clinical outcomes. Materials Methods retrospective investigation involved 80 COPD (age 71.5±9.5 years; 57.5% male) admitted intensive care unit (ICU) due AHRF. NTIS was...

Background: Mad honey is the type of made by bees that are nourished from plants Rhododendron (Rh.) family, and it contains grayanotoksin (GTX). The most significant types Rh which contain GTX, Rh. purpose this study was to analyze cases came emergency room because GTX intoxication in detail order help diagnosis, treatment, follow-up prognosis daily medicine practice. A total 36 patients with symptoms diagnosis after consuming mad honey, were included study. Ten healthy individuals who did...
