In December 2019, a novel coronavirus (severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 [SARS-CoV-2]) emerged in China and has spread globally, creating pandemic. Information about the clinical characteristics of infected patients who require intensive care is limited.To characterize with disease 2019 (COVID-19) requiring treatment an unit (ICU) Lombardy region Italy.Retrospective case series 1591 consecutive laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 referred for ICU admission to coordinator center (Fondazione IRCCS...
<h3>Importance</h3> Many patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are critically ill and require care in the intensive unit (ICU). <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate independent risk factors associated mortality of COVID-19 requiring treatment ICUs Lombardy region Italy. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This retrospective, observational cohort study included 3988 consecutive laboratory-confirmed referred for ICU admission to coordinating center (Fondazione IRCCS [Istituto di...
Few observations exist with respect to the pro-coagulant profile of patients COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Reports thromboembolic complications are scarce but suggestive for a clinical relevance problem.Prospective observational study aimed characterize coagulation ARDS standard and viscoelastic tests evaluate their changes after establishment an aggressive thromboprophylaxis.Sixteen received complete at admission in intensive care unit. Ten were followed subsequent 7...
Aim: To calibrate eight-polar bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) against dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for the assessment of total and appendicular body composition in healthy adults. Research design: A cross-sectional study was carried out. Subjects: Sixty-eight females 42 males aged 21-82 years participated study. Methods: Whole-body fat-free mass (FFM) lean tissue (LTM) were measured by DXA; resistance ( R ) arms, trunk legs BIA at frequencies 5, 50, 250 500 kHz; whole-body...
The purpose of this research was to investigate the phenomenon misbehavior described by Breland and (1961). Rats were trained obtain ball‐bearings drop them in a hole for food or water reinforcers. In confirmation Brelands' observation, many subjects slow deliver balls, frequently attempted chew before they dropped. A series four experiments, which same rats used throughout, showed that delivery times tended be longer with than water, these increased when nylon balls substituted. effect...
Lesions of the upper digestive tract due to ingestion caustic agents still represent a major medical and surgical emergency worldwide. The work-up these patients is poorly defined no clear therapeutic guidelines are available. aim this study was provide an evidence-based international consensus on primary secondary prevention, diagnosis, staging, treatment life-threatening potentially disabling condition. An extensive literature search performed by panel experts under auspices World Society...
Abstract Background Tocilizumab blocks pro-inflammatory activity of interleukin-6 (IL-6), involved in pathogenesis pneumonia the most frequent cause death COVID-19 patients. Methods A multicenter, single-arm, hypothesis-driven trial was planned, according to a phase 2 design, study effect tocilizumab on lethality rates at 14 and 30 days (co-primary endpoints, priori expected being 20 35%, respectively). further prospective cohort patients, consecutively enrolled after first accomplished,...
The study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity (SN) and specificity (SP) of body mass index (BMI) skinfold thicknesses in detecting excess adiposity children.Cross-sectional.986 children (500 females 486 males) aged 10 +/- 1 years (mean SD; range: 8-12 years) were studied. All underwent anthropometric measurements bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was performed 52 develop a population-specific algorithm for assessment fat-free (FFM) from BIA. applied...
A Covid-19 outbreak developed in Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia-Romagna (Italy) at the end of February 2020. Fear an imminent saturation available ICU beds generated notion that rationing intensive care resources could have been necessary.In order to evaluate impact on capacity manage critically ill patients, we performed a retrospective analysis first 2 weeks (February 24-March 8). Data were collected from regional registries case report form sent participating sites. increased 1545 1989...
The study of animal behavior and intelligence has a fairly long tradition, starting with Romanes naive mentalism. With few noble exceptions, like Tolman Kohler, psychological research on animals been dominated by the behaviorist paradigm, only in last fifteen years there substantial growth interest analysis cognitive processes animals. This renewed impetus towards approach, as opposed to strict perspective, resulted from both internal problems external influences: one hand, were difficulties...
Primary objective : To study the relationship between bone mineral content (BMC), lean tissue mass (LTM) and fat (FM) in a large sample of young elderly women. Research design Cross-sectional. Methods procedures BMC, LTM FM were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry 2009 free-dwelling Caucasian women aged 63 - 7 years (mean SD; range: 37-88 years). The majority postmenopausal (96%). Results explained 13% more variance BMC than ( R 2 adj = 0.39 vs 0.26, p < 0.0001) but weight (Wt)...
The success of cardiac surgery over the past 50 years has increased numbers and median age survivors with congenital heart disease (CHD). Adults now represent two-thirds patients CHD; in USA alone number is estimated to exceed 1 million. In this population, many affected women reach reproductive wish have children. While CHD pregnancy can be accomplished successfully, some special situations complex anatomy, iatrogenic or residual pathology are associated an risk severe maternal fetal...
An artificial fruit (AF) was used to test for social learning in pig-tailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) and adult humans (Homo sapiens). A monkey demonstrator opened the AF, showing alternative methods 2 groups of cage mates. Video films demonstrations were presented humans. Compared with chimpanzees children, watched significantly less a much more sporadic manner. They also produced only very weak transitory evidence learning. In contrast, performed as one might expect optimum imitators,...
This study investigates whether golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) pups can acquire a new behavior by interacting with an experienced adult conspecific. The consisted of using teeth and forepaws to retrieve piece food dangling from small chain. Instrumental learning techniques were used train the demonstrators. Four groups exposed different kinds social experience. In first group, interacted their skilled mother; in second they did same inexperienced third littermates; fourth tested...
We studied the effects of cooking on vitamin and mineral content vegetables (vegetable soup, cauliflower), meat (beefsteak) fish (sole) those cutting (fruit salad) squeezing (orange juice) fruits. In cooked dishes, retention ranged between 0 (folic acid, all dishes) 94% (retinol, sole) 63 (copper, cauliflower) 96% (iron, vegetable soup). orange juice, ascorbic acid appeared to be protected from oxidation for at least 12 h as compared with fruit salad. Our study shows that preparation foods...
This research is based on the idea that some prosimian species are good models in which to test certain postulates of "postural origins" theory proposed by MacNeilage and colleagues [Behavioral Brain Sciences 10:247-303, 1987] explain evolution hand preference within order Primates. We investigated manual laterality 16 wild indris (eight males eight females, living four social groups) their habitat, Madagascan tropical rain forest.
