The novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19, is a highly contagious infectious disease declared by the World Health Organization to be pandemic and global public health emergency. During outbreaks, care workers are submitted an enormous emotional burden as they must balance fundamental “duty treat” with their parallel duties family loved ones. aims of our study were evaluate perceptions, levels stress, distress, coping strategies among medical staff (COVID-19 versus non-COVID-19 departments) in...
Background and objectives: The aims of the study were to evaluate utility neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) as inflammation markers prognostic factors in patients with known interstitial lung disease secondary connective tissue diseases (CTD-ILD) compared idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Materials Methods: Forty-two (21 IPF 21 CTD-ILD) 42 control matched healthy included. NLR was calculated absolute neutrophil count divided by lymphocyte count,...
Background: Taraxacum officinale (TO) or dandelion has been frequently used to prevent treat different liver diseases because of its rich composition in phytochemicals with demonstrated effect against hepatic injuries. This study aimed investigate the possible preventing ethanolic TO root extract (TOERE) on a rat experimental acute chronic failure (ACLF) model. Methods: Chronic (CLF) was induced by human serum albumin, and ACLF CLF D-galactosamine lipopolysaccharide (D-Gal-LPS). Five groups...
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) affects the quality of life (QOL) due to effects on patient's physical and mental function. QOL in may improve under continuous airway positive pressure (CPAP) therapy. The purpose this study was assess OSA patients before after 3 months CPAP therapy using Calgary Sleep Apnea Quality Life Index (SAQLI).We conducted a 79 subjects diagnosed cardiorespiratory portable monitoring, therapy, monitored our Laboratory from January 2011 December 2014. This is...
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a complex condition with significant impact on prognosis, especially in advanced stages where symptom burden becomes critical. Breathlessness affects patients' quality of life, and despite various therapeutic strategies, the role opioids palliative care for COPD remains under investigation. The acceptance trial different types increasing not only end-of-life situations but also stable patients experiencing intolerable refractory breathlessness...
Background/Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the need for adaptive public health strategies and effective decision-making tools to optimize clinical responses policy measures based on regional contexts. This study aims identify key criteria developing a patient-centered strategy enhance resilience of Romania’s healthcare system during pandemic. Methods: research introduces Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) model using Simple Multiple Attribute Assessment Technique (SMART)...
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder significantly associated with cardiovascular complications. Electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities are common in patients type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and can serve as early markers for risk. Objective: This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the impact of T2DM on electrocardiographic changes, focusing major ECG abnormalities, fragmented QRS (fQRS) complexes, prolonged corrected QT (QTc) intervals. Materials Methods: A systematic...
Nanoparticles, although considered a topic of modern medicine, actually have an interesting history. Currently, advances in nanomedicine hold great promise as drug carrier systems for sustained release and targeted delivery diverse therapeutic agents. Nanoparticles can be defined complex which incorporate protect certain or particle. administered via different routes, such intravenous injection, oral administration, pulmonary inhalation. Even though the use nano-carriers inhalation is...
Inflammation along with coagulation disturbances has an essential role in the evolution towards a severe disease patients coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). This study aimed to evaluate inflammatory and biomarkers when predicting need visit intensive care unit (ICU) diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. In retrospective study, laboratory parameters were examined for 366 participants: ICU = 90, of which 44 had DM no admittance 276. The ability markers distinguish severity COVID-19 was determined using...
The aim of this study was to investigate the concentration level some major-to-trace elements and toxic minerals polyphenols (catechin, epicatechin quercetin) in fruits belonging different apple cultivars (‘Auriu de Cluj’, ‘Florina’, ‘Generos’, ‘Golden Delicious’, ‘Prima’, ‘Productiv Cluj’ ‘Starkrimson’), under specific climate conditions northwestern Romania. were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) optical emission (ICP-OES) after...

During outbreaks, care workers are submitted to enormous emotional burden as they must balance fundamental "duty treat" with parallel duty family loved ones. aims of our study evaluate perceptions, levels stress, distress, coping strategies among medical staff (COVID 19 versus non-COVID department) in tertiary...
Background: As the global battle against COVID-19 pandemic endures, spread of Delta variant has introduced nuanced challenges, prompting a examination. Materials and Methods: We performed multilevel logistic regression analysis encompassing 197 patients, comprising 44 vaccinated individuals (V group) 153 unvaccinated counterparts (UV). These afflicted with SARS-CoV-2, were hospitalized between October 2021 February 2022 at department University Centre in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. compared...
Foster care young people have an increased overall risk for the development of chronic health conditions.Smoking is a major factor many conditions with inflammatory component. We performed cross-sectional pilot study to assess correlation between tobacco consumption status and profile among adolescents living foster parents in central region Romania. A number 35 teenagers aged 10-18 were enrolled. Blood samples collected by venipuncture complete blood count (CBC), fibrinogen, Interleukin-6...
