Although noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is becoming very popular, little known about its pattern of clinical and technical utilisation in different environments. We conducted a web-based survey Europe to identify the perceived NIV reason for choosing specific ventilator interface type four common scenarios: acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHRF), cardiogenic pulmonary oedema (CPE), de novo hypoxic weaning/post-extubation (W/PE). A response was obtained from 272 (51.3%) out 530 selected...
Abstract OBJECTIVE: Controversy exists about the indications and timing for surgery in head injured patients with an intradural mass lesion. The aim of this study was to survey contemporary approaches treatment lesion, placing a particular focus on utilization decompressive craniectomy. METHODS: A prospective international conducted over 3-month period 67 centers from 24 countries neurosurgical management lesion and/or radiological signs raised intracranial pressure. Information obtained...
Despite the fact that metanalyses and clinical guidelines do not recommend routine use of domiciliary non-invasive ventilation (NIV) for patients diagnosed with severe stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) chronic respiratory failure, it is common practice in some countries.We conducted an international web-survey physicians involved provision long-term NIV to examine patterns COPD.The response rate was 41.6%. A reduction hospital admissions, improvements quality life dyspnea...
Thyroid gland manipulation, surgical stress response, and postoperative outcome in cases of video-assisted thyroidectomy (VAT) conventional were compared to verify the safety VAT.Twenty consenting patients randomly assigned undergo VAT or thyroidectomy. Serum thyroglobulin levels monitored as indicators thyroid C-reactive protein white blood cell count assess response. capsule integrity presence spilled cells bed verified.No significant differences found manipulation response between groups....
Introduction: Lingual thyroid (LT) is a rare embryologic anomaly. Diagnosis challenging and treatment still controversial. Case Report: We report case of 46 years old man with occasional sore throat, who underwent an otorhinolaryngology evaluation. Fiber optic flexible indirect laryngoscopy (FIL) highlighted mass at the base tongue. Subsequent surgeon-performed neck ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) scan scintiscan confirmed diagnosis LT. The patient had never investigated before as he...
Background: Postoperative neck hematoma is an uncommon but potentially fatal complication following thyroid surgery. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the impact direct oral anticoagulants on occurrence complication. Methods: Patients who underwent thyroidectomy, between January 2020 and December 2022, in nine high-volume surgery centers Europe, were retrospectively evaluated. Based taking anticoagulants, patients divided two groups: DOAC Group Control Group. Propensity score...
Background: Postoperative neck hematoma is an infrequent but potentially fatal complication following thyroidectomy. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the impact direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) on occurrence complication. Methods: Patients who underwent thyroidectomy between January 2020 and December 2022 in nine high-volume thyroid surgery centers Europe were retrospectively evaluated. Based taking anticoagulants, patients divided into two groups: DOAC Group Control Group....
In 1998, we developed a technique for video-assisted thyroidectomy (VAT) which proposed using also in patients with small low-risk papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC). some cases, enlarged lymph nodes are incidentally found at surgery PTC. These should be removed because of the risk metastases. this paper, report on whom central neck during VAT PTC and discuss feasibility safety node dissection (VALD).The procedure is performed by totally gasless through single 1.5-to 2.0-cm skin incision...
BACKGROUND The objective of the current study was to evaluate ability serum thyroglobulin mRNA assay in detecting local and distant recurrences patients who underwent surgery for thyroid carcinoma. METHODS Sixty-six consecutive were studied. One year after surgery, all clinical examination radioiodine scan, a blood sample taken (Tg) immunoassay Tg by reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RNA extracted from cells pellet analyzed RT-PCR using specific primers Tg. RESULTS...
