Patients with brain metastasis (BM) from solid tumors are in an advanced stage of cancer. BM may occur during a known oncological disease (metachronous BM) or be the primary manifestation previously unknown cancer (synchronous BM). The time diagnosis might decisively impact patient prognosis and further treatment stratification. In present study, we analyzed prognostic synchronous versus (vs.) metachronous occurrence following resection BM.Between 2013 2018, 353 patients had undergone...
Sepsis is as a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by dysregulated host response to an infection. The mortality of sepsis and particular septic shock very high. Treatment mostly focuses on infection control but specific intervention that targets the underlying pathological lacking present time. investigators hypothesize early therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) will dampen maladaptive removing injurious mediators thereby limiting improving survival in patients with shock. Although small...
Abstract Postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) monitoring is an established option to ensure patient safety after resection of newly diagnosed glioblastoma. In contrast, secondary unplanned ICU readmission following complicating events during the initial postoperative course might be associated with severe morbidity and impair initially intended surgical benefit. present study, we assessed prognostic impact aimed identify preoperatively ascertainable risk factors for development such...
Abstract Background Sepsis and septic shock, defined by a profound immune dysregulation, are among the leading causes of death in intensive care unit (ICU). Despite advances understanding underlying pathophysiology, evidence for specific immunomodulatory treatment does not exist to date. Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) represents an adjunctive approach rebalance homeostasis. In EXCHANGE-1 trial, we recently demonstrated rapid hemodynamic improvement, possibly caused removal harmful...
The reaction of 1,2-C6H4(P(O)-t-Bu2)(Li) (Ph*Li) with B(OMe)3 furnishes a mixture Li[Ph*B(OMe)3] (Li[2a]) and Ph*B(OMe)2 (2b). Further treatment Li[AlH4] provides the trihydroborate Li[Ph*BH3] (Li[3]), which can subsequently be converted into intramolecular P═O–B adduct Ph*BH2 (4) through hydride abstraction Me3SiCl. Addition C6F5MgBr yields Mg[Ph*BH2(C6F5)]2 (Mg[5]2), is inert toward Me3SiCl but reacts water to give Ph*B(H)C6F5 (6). Upon addition further C6F5MgBr, formed, from crystals...
Object In the light of an aging population and ongoing advances in cancer control, optimal management geriatric patients with brain metastases (BM) poses increasing challenge, especially due to scarce data available. We therefore analyzed our institutional regard factors influencing overall survival (OS) BM. Methods Between 2013 2018, aged ≥ 65 years surgically treated BM were included this retrospective analysis. search preoperatively identifiable risk for poor OS, addition underlying...
Object: Inflammatory response is an important determinant of subsequent brain injury after deep-seated intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The ratio red blood cell (RBC) distribution width to platelet count (RPR) has been established as a new index reflect the severity inflammation. To best our knowledge, no association between RPR and prognosis spontaneous ICH yet reported. Methods: In all patients with treated at Neurovascular Center from 2014 2020, initial laboratory values were obtained...
Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) has become an accepted treatment option for severely ill patients. Due to a limited availability of ECMO support therapy, patients must often be transported specialised centre before or after cannulation. According the ELSO guidelines, specialist should present such interventions. Here we describe safety and efficacy reduced team approach involving one anaesthesiologist, experienced in intensive care medicine, critical nurse. This study is 10 years...
