Proposal for a recovery prediction method for patients affected by acute mediastinitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND An attempt to find a prediction method of death risk in patients affected by acute mediastinitis. There is not such a tool described in available literature for that serious disease. METHODS The study comprised 44 consecutive cases of acute mediastinitis. General anamnesis and biochemical

Life-threatening acute posterior mediastinitis due to esophageal perforation.

We present the second draft of a consensus-assisted protocol on the adjuvant treatment after cardiac surgery with immunoglobulins of mediastinitis. CLINICAL PHASE: Phase III. OBJECTIVE Placebo-controlled investigation of the clinical efficacy of Pentaglobin (Biotest, Germany) as an added treatment

Superior vena cava obstruction in fibrosing mediastinitis: demonstration of right-to-left shunt and venous collaterals.

Only registered users can translate articles

Multiple venous collateral pathways have been described in patients with superior vena cava obstruction. Systemic venous-to-pulmonary venous communication is the most unusual, having been described in a few cases of thoracic malignancy. In a patient with fibrosing mediastinitis radionuclide

[Integral assessment of endogenous intoxication in patients with purulent mediastinitis].

Only registered users can translate articles

The parameters of endogenous intoxication (EI) were studied in patients with purulent mediastinitis (PM). The integral index of E1--the coefficient C(EI) that included the relative indices (as to the normal values) of the total and effective concentrations of albumin, medium molecular-weight

Mediastinitis following coronary artery bypass surgery: a 3-year review.

Only registered users can translate articles

Twenty cases of mediastinitis after coronary artery bypass graft operations in 1985-1987 were reviewed to determine risk factors. Two distinct clusters with a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain occurred in 1986. One resident was exposed to six cases but to only 5 of 24

Evaluation of prognostic value of selected biochemical markers in surgically treated patients with acute mediastinitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Monitoring of biochemical markers of inflammation in acute mediastinitis (AM) can be useful in the modification of treatment. This study was a retrospective evaluation of selected biochemical parameters with negative impact on the prognosis in surgically treated patients. METHODS There

Evaluation of recovery in iatrogenic evoked acute mediatinitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

This study attempts to find a prediction method of death risk in patients with acute mediastinitis (AM). There is no such tool described in available literature for this serious disease. The study comprised 37 consecutive cases of iatrogenic AM. General anamnesis and biochemical data were included.

Cross-sectional area of the abdomen predicts complication incidence in patients undergoing sternal reconstruction.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Sternal reconstruction with vascularized flaps is central to the management of sternal wound infections and mediastinitis but carries a high risk of complications. There is a need to identify reliable predictors of complication risk to help inform patients and clinicians in preparation

Comparison of enteral nutrition with total parenteral nutrition for patients with locally advanced unresectable esophageal cancer harboring dysphagia in definitive chemoradiotherapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

The nutritional status of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) harboring dysphagia is often poor. The efficacy and safety of enteral nutrition (EN) versus total parenteral nutrition (TPN) have not been addressed in patients with ESCC requiring nutritional support

An outbreak of coagulase-negative staphylococcal surgical-site infections following aortic valve replacement.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To determine the cause of a coagulase-negative staphylococcal outbreak and to identify risk factors for surgical-site infections among patients following Medtronic Freestyle bioprosthesis implantation. METHODS Retrospective case-control study. METHODS An 800-bed university referral

Temporary placement of self-expanding oesophageal stents as bridging for neo-adjuvant therapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Placement of self-expanding stents is an effective palliation for dysphagia in non-resectable oesophageal or proximal gastric cancer. The aim of this analysis was to assess the efficacy of temporary stent placement for dysphagia relief during neo-adjuvant treatment for locally advanced
