The multiplex PCR is a powerful and efficient tool that was widely used during the COVID-19 pandemic to diagnose SARS-CoV-2 infections has applications for bacterial identification, as well determining resistance antibiotics. Therefore, this study aimed determine usability of PCR, especially in patients self-medicated with antibiotics, where cultures often give false-negative results. A cross-sectional developed two units, 489 eligible were included antibiotic takers non-antibiotic takers....
COVID-19 has been associated with cardiovascular consequences, including myocardial infarction, thromboembolic events, arrhythmia, and heart failure. Numerous overlapping mechanisms, such as the IL-6 dependent cytokine storm unopposed angiotensin II stimulation, could be responsible for these consequences. Cardiac damage is hypothesized to a consequence of direct viral infection cardiomyocytes, resulting in increased metabolic demand, immunological activation, microvascular dysfunction....
In the field of oncology, plant kingdom has an inexhaustible supply bioactive compounds. Phytochemical compounds isolated from Helleborus species have been found to be useful in various chronic diseases. This brought attention medical researchers. H. purpurascens is a characteristic Carpathian area, known since ancient times for its beneficial effects. The aim study was evaluate flavonoids composition hydroalcoholic extract purpurascens, as well assess antioxidant activity and antitumor...
The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has had significant impacts on pulmonary function. This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate function and structure in patients 40 days post-SARS-CoV-2 infection, employing an array of testing methodologies including spirometry, plethysmography, forced oscillometry, CT scanning. It also sought establish potential correlations between these metrics if oscillometry could provide additional value post-infective lung assessment. A 40-day...
Background and Objectives: Stigma lack of acceptance in society might have detrimental effects on the quality life patients with psoriasis, sometimes being comparable other chronic diseases conditions that affect appearance a patient, such as burns. Therefore, we surveyed our diagnosed psoriasis to determine implications misinformation stigma for their life, depression, coping strategies stratified by different age categories. Materials Methods: A cross-sectional study was designed sample...
There is still no general agreement about the most effective form of syndesmosis fixation with syndesmotic screws for patients affected by ankle fractures that are accompanied injuries. In same manner, consensus has been reached yet on whether or not tibiofibular screw more beneficial if removed not, as well exact timing removal this proves superiority. The purpose research was to verify removing reduces risk developing a diastasis and compare outcomes in whose at all. A retrospective...
The aim of this study was to determine the chemical characterization and antimicrobial properties essential oil Romanian Origanum vulgare. isolated by hydro distillation. composition characterized Gas chromatography-Mass spectroscopy. Antibacterial activity evaluated disk diffusion method determination minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC).Thirty-two volatile constituents were identified in studied major compounds thymol (35.51%), g-terpinen (19.19%), durenol (17.99%), durene (11.40)...
The high mortality risk in severe SARS-CoV-2 infections is tightly correlated to the extreme elevation of inflammatory markers. This acute accumulation proteins can be cleared using plasma exchange (TPE), commonly known as plasmapheresis, although available data on performing TPE COVID-19 patients limited regarding optimal treatment protocol. purpose for this study was examine efficacy and outcomes based different methods. A thorough database search performed identify from Intensive Care...
A high percentage of oncological patients die yearly because colorectal cancer (CRC). Worldwide, CRC represents the fourth leading cause death among patients. Numerous studies have been conducted in order to identify new biomarkers for early diagnosis with CRC. From this point view, an ideal biomarker is represented by expression microRNAs. In paper, we wish summarize expressions microRNAs and present pathophysiological genetic interactions that protein systems these patients.For looked into...
The present research was conducted in order to investigate the tobacco smoker status and intensity relation marijuana consumption students of Timis County, Romania. representative sample 2076 county, 62.49% girls 37.51% boys, with mean age 21.09 years, included into a transversal populational study. 31.1% smokers 67.5% nonsmokers. Regarding smoking during previous month, 11.4% smoked between 1-5 cigarettes day, 8% 6 10 12% more than being significantly higher boys girls. Tobacco consumed 8.3...
Hospital acquired infections and bacterial multi-drug resistance (MDR) involve high costs, difficult to manage in medical systems with limited resources. This study, part of the PNCDII 42121/2008 national research project, proposed investigation multidrug-resistant bacteria prevalence, concurrent costs evaluation two intensive care units (ICUs) from Timisoara university hospitals: Emergency Clinical County (ECCH) Institute Cardiovascular Diseases (ICD). During January-October 2010, we...
Eye is the most important sensory organ concerned with perception of vision. Ocular infections are one common diseases eye. as blepharitis, conjunctivitis, canaliculitis, dacryocystitis, keratitis, scleritis, orbital cellulitis, endophthalmitis, panophthalmitis and other which responsible for increased incidence morbidity blindness worldwide, their vary from self-limiting trivial infection to sight threatening infection. To identify bacterial profile ocular in patients attending...
