Some environmental factors have been already associated to increased risk of multiple sclerosis (MS), but it is plausible that additional might play a role.To investigate in MS patients the relationship between inflammatory activity, detected by brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium (Gd), and air pollution, namely, particulate matters diameter less than 10 μm (PM10).We analyzed from 52 remitting 226 MRIs, 34% (Gd+MRI) 66% without (Gd-MRI) T1-Gd-enhancing lesions. Daily...
Air pollution has been recently identified as a risk factor for multiple sclerosis. Aim of this study was to investigate the immunological mechanism underlying clinical association between air pollution, namely exposure particulate matter 10 (PM10), and inflammatory activity sclerosis (MS) METHODS: Daily recording PM10 obtained by monitors depending on residence subjects. Expression molecules involved in activation, adhesion, migration T lymphocytes were tested flow cytometry 57 MS patients...
Abstract Background Pro‐protein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 (PCSK9) is a proenzyme primarily known to regulate low‐density lipoprotein receptor re‐uptake on hepatocytes. Whether PCSK9 can concurrently trigger inflammation or not remains unclear. Here, we investigated the potential association between circulating levels of and mortality in patients with severe sepsis septic shock. Methods Plasma at days 1, 2 7 were measured 958 shock previously enrolled Albumin Italian Outcome Sepsis...
Abstract Our study aims to evaluate clinical predictors of menstrual cycle disorders in female athletes who compete running disciplines. This is a prospective observational study. Women were recruited between January and May 2022. Fifty-three patients enrolled completed questionnaire about cycle, physical activity, food habit characteristics. Of the women our population, 39.6% had irregularities reported significantly higher number kilometers run per week (67 vs. 35, p:0.02). The was...
ABO blood type A was reported to correlate with an increased risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in white patients severe sepsis and major trauma compared other types. Information regarding phenotypes outcomes ARDS is unavailable. The primary aim determine the relationship between intensive care unit (ICU) mortality hypoxemic failure (AHRF). secondary describe association ICU length stay (LOS) this study population.In a multicenter, retrospective cohort study, we collected...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a bedside monitoring technique of the respiratory system that measures changes within thorax. The close correlation between variations in (ΔZ) and lung volumes (Vt) known. Unless Vt measured by an external reference (e.g., spirometry), its absolute value (in milliliters) cannot be determined; however, measurement would useful nonintubated subjects. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> To...
In Intensive Care Unit (ICU) survivors, critical illness has an impact on individual’s long-term health status and quality of life. Adults who have recovered from intensive care management could develop muscle weakness, neurocognitive impairment, difficulties in managing activities daily living to returning work, psychological problems such as depression anxiety. A prospective, observational study was designed. Data were collected January December 2018 a structured follow-up program, at 3...
Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the implementation an intensive care unit (ICU) diary in Italian general ICU. Methods A mixed-methods pilot performed, enrolling all patients who received ICU during period. Results Study results are presented 2 sections: (1) evaluation and content themes (2) follow-up program results. Sixty-six were assessed for eligibility. Diary administration possible 31 (47%). overall entries, analyzed diaries, 1331, with a median 25 entries...
Background: Venovenous ECMO is a lifesaving technique for patients with severe respiratory failure. Management of carbon dioxide (CO2) levels at start crucial, as recent studies found an association between rapid CO2 shifts and increased incidence neurological complications.Purpose: To describe the role end tidal (etCO2) monitoring to minimize shifts.Research design: Retrospective cohort study.Methods: We performed retrospective analysis who started venovenous support our institution 2011...
