Summary Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality world-wide, the use thrombolytic therapy has been associated with favourable clinical outcomes in certain patient subsets. These potential benefits are counterbalanced by risk bleeding complications, most devastating which intracranial haemorrhage (ICH). We retrospectively evaluated 9703 patients from 2003–2012 nationwide in-patient sample database (NIS) who received thrombolytics for PE. All ICH during PE...
Abstract The current emphasis in aerospace component development is on creating safe, reliable and cost-effective technologies. However, the intricate design of stage separation systems renders reliability a critical factor determining mission success or failure. One technical challenges involves various mechanisms, such as payload separation, heavy propulsion system ejection auxiliary components detachment rigid components. These mechanisms commonly employ pyrotechnic devices, which, by...
The absolute white blood cell (WBC) count and neutrophil to lymphocyte (N/L) ratio are predictors of death/myocardial infarction in patients who have undergone coronary angiography. We hypothesized that a pre-procedural elevated WBC an N/L would be predictor development significant ventricular arrhythmias subjects undergoing percutaneous intervention (PCI).We retrieved the data for all developing arrhythmia during PCI between 1999 2009 from our cath lab database (from 30,798 records), total...
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) has been implicated as a risk factor for the development of several adverse cardiovascular outcomes, but can be mitigated with positive airway pressure therapy (PAP). The nonadherence patients SDB on PAP in outpatient setting ranges from 29% to 84%. However, adherence congestive heart failure (CHF) admitted decompensated CHF and whom diagnosed hospital is not known. We hypothesized that despite diagnosis hospital, compliance these would different...
We describe a case of 62 year old man who presented with transient loss consciousness following exertion. On presentation to hospital, he was haemodynamically stable and not breathless, tachycardic or hypoxic at rest. The finding exercise-induced desaturation on pulse oximetry triggered further investigations which confirmed the presence PE.
Aims & Objectives: Fluid overload following neonatal cardiac surgery is associated with adverse outcomes. Delineation of optimal fluid management strategies warranted. In this multicenter study, we aim to report (1) variability across institutions; (2) Associations between early diuretic use [receiving in the operating room and/or on postoperative day (POD)0] and outcomes Methods: Retrospective analysis, including neonates (<30 days) who underwent at 22 institutions participating Pediatric...
Polycythemia is an independent predictor of mortality and hospitalization in patients with congestive heart failure. Sleep disordered breathing highly prevalent failure also implicated secondary polycythemia. We describe a case polycythemia patient who was later diagnosed sleep-disordered breathing. The resolved initiation positive airway pressure therapy.
