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
In this study PLMA, Air-Q® and Ambu AuraGain were compared undergoing elective surgeries under general anaesthesia. Primary outcome measure was insertion time. Airway sealing pressure,ease of insertion, number of attempts,overall success rate, glottis view,number of attempts of gastric tube
The key aspects in the pathophysiology of pre-eclampsia are placental oxidative stress (and hypoxia), placental release of the anti-angiogenic factors Soluble Fms Like Tyrosine Kinase -1 and soluble endoglin and maternal endothelial dysfunction. A drug that can counter these pathological steps could
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and its complication, Barrett's esophagus (BE), are risk factors for esophageal adenocarcinoma. In BE, GERD causes inflammation with oxidative DNA damage and genomic instability that contributes to carcinogenesis. In BE, one response to oxidative stress is p38
Due to several promoting factors related to the physiological immaturity of the gastro-intestinal tract, gastro-esophageal reflux (GER) is a frequent condition among preterm infants.
GER clinical presentation may vary within a wide range of symptoms, being vomiting, regurgitations and
OSA is a chronic disorder characterized by frequent reduction and/or cessation of inspiratory airflow during sleep, with resulting hypoxemia and hypercapnia that are terminated by arousals. This pattern of repetitive arousals and nocturnal hypoxemia leads to disruption of sleep architecture and
Reflux esophagitis is thought to be caused by gastric acid that refluxes into the esophagus, causing injury. Newer data suggest that reflux of gastric juice into the esophagus stimulates HIF-2a, which increases production of inflammatory cytokines. These cytokines are thought to lead to reflux
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and asthma are both common disorders in Hong Kong, with prevalence of at least 4% among the middle-aged male Hong Kong (HK) Chinese populations and 7.2% in young adults respectively. OSAS is characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction,
Abdominal pain and Cystic Fibrosis Cystic fibrosis is the most common lethal autosomal recessive disease among Caucasians. CF is caused by a single gene mutation on chromosome 7, which encodes for a membrane protein, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). CFTR channel
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE
The safe transportation of infants has formed a critical part of public health policy for many years. Clearly crash tolerance of the seat, the ease of installation, the position of the seat and the relative position to airbags has been the focus of intensive research.
