In December 2019, China reported the first cluster of severe acute respiratory syndrome due to a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). The disease rapidly spread into a global pandemic of public health emergency worldwide leading to more than 330.000 deaths (data from May 25th, 2020). We have, to date, no
Background:Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS- CoV-2) infection represents a pandemic emergency of dramatic proportions. The clinical course of SARS-CoV-2 infection often meets the criteria for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), with progressive severity ultimately
There are clinical data to support the observation that hospitalized acutely ill medical patients with severe viral pneumonitis/Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), such as those with influenza H1N1 infection, have an over 23-fold increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) - especially
Introduction The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently declared SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) disease as an international alarm public health emergency. This ongoing pandemic of COVID-19 disease is devastating, despite widespread implementation of control measures, which is creating a challenge for
This is a single center, pilot study to evaluate critically ill patients diagnosed with acute pulmonary embolism using endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS). The investigators anticipate to enroll 20 subjects at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica. The enrolled subjects
Background
Acute chest pain triage in the Emergency Department (ED) may prove challenging, since similar symptoms can reveal both mild or life-threatening disorders, and the clinical presentation itself is known not to be reliable for evaluating the risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) .
The first
Cardiac arrythmias are the most common cardiac complications after thoracic surgery. They are made primarily of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF).
They are associated with an increased risk of stroke, increased length of hospital stay and cost of care, and increased long-term
The standard test to diagnose PE is the Pulmonary Computed Tomography Angiogram (CTA). This can be prohibitive with some patients due to the amount of radiation exposure as well as the complications associated with the need to use intravenous (IV) contrast. CTA can detect acute PE with a sensitivity
Anesthesiology care demonstrates wide variation in practice. Sometimes, this variation is appropriate because the anesthesiologist is responding to patient comorbidities or procedure specific events. However, even after controlling for patient specific factors, there is a substantial amount of
I. SUBJECT ENROLLMENT
1. Methods of enrollment, including procedures for patient registration. Patients will be screened in the "Cardiac surgery pre-operative clinic", Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Cox building floor 6 (before surgery). If the patient is eligible and after obtaining the
BACKGROUND Radiation Necrosis: Stereotactic radiosurgery has become integral in treatment of brain tumors and arteriovenous malformations (AVM). In up to 10% of cases, this can lead to radiation necrosis (RN) with significant surrounding vasogenic edema and mass effect. Medical treatment for RN
Langerhans cells are antigen-presenting cells of monocyte-macrophage lineage present in various epithelium like airways. Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), also called histiocytosis X or pulmonary eosinophilic granulomatosis, are characterized by proliferation and infiltration of Langerhans cells
Hip and knee arthroplasty are safe and reliable surgeries for the majority of patients, but a small percentage experience major complications such as myocardial infarction, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism (PE). As these complications are related to local tissue hypoxemia and
In recent years the focus in medicine has shifted towards efficient utilization of resources and improving patient outcomes. Incentive spirometry (IS) is a tool that mimics the natural process of yawning or sighing by allowing the user to take deep breaths in a controlled setting. This is a lung
