Albumin administration prevents the onset of pressure ulcers in intensive care unit patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pressure ulcers (PUs) are a common problem in critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care units (ICUs) and they account for more than 70% of patients with low serum albumin at admission. The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of intravenous administration of albumin in patients

An evaluation of serum albumin and the sub-scores of the Waterlow score in pressure ulcer risk assessment.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND From previous work serum albumin is predictive of pressure ulcers over and above the Waterlow score. However the sub-scores of the Waterlow score were not available, and the accuracy of calculation of the total score was poor. This study has used sub-scores and is an order of magnitude

Serum albumin, serum antiproteases and polymorphonuclear leucocyte neutral collagenolytic protease in the tear fluid of patients with corneal ulcers.

Only registered users can translate articles

Using a micro-electroimmune assay, the concentration of polymorphonuclear leucocyte neutral collagenolytic protease, serum-albumin, alpha-1-antitrypsin and alpha-2-macroglobulin were measured in the tear fluid from 18 eyes of 16 patients with severe, melting corneal ulcers. By this method, PML-c-ase

The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on ischemia-modified albumin levels in people with diabetes with foot ulcers.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) treatment accelerates the healing process of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) by increasing tissue oxygenation in hypoxic tissues. Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is produced as a result of serum albumin flowing through ischemic tissues. We aimed to investigate the

Preoperative Albumin Alone is Not a Predictor of 30-Day Outcomes in Pressure Ulcer Patients: A Matched Propensity-Score Analysis of the 2006-2011 NSQIP Datasets.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND While there has been a great deal of literature describing the relationship between nutritional status and development of pressure ulcers, statistically rigorous studies analyzing the relationship between hypoalbuminemia and outcomes are lacking. METHODS The American College of Surgeons'

Low serum albumin may predict the need for gastric resection in patients with perforated peptic ulcer.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Perforated peptic ulcer (PPU) is a common surgical emergency and treatment involves omental patch repair (PR). Gastric resection (GR) is reserved for difficult pathologies. We audit the outcomes of GR at our institution and evaluate the pre-operative factors predicting the need for

Low serum albumin levels, confusion, and fecal incontinence: are these risk factors for pressure ulcers in mobility-impaired hospitalized adults?

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Studies of risk factors for clinically significant pressure ulcers in the hospital have been limited by the small number of study subjects that develop pressure ulcers, resulting in contradictory findings regarding some risk factors. OBJECTIVE To determine if three risk factors (low serum

Serum albumin metabolism in rheumatic diseases: relationship to corticosteroids and peptic ulcer.

Only registered users can translate articles

Serum albumin concentrations and albumin metabolism were assessed in 150 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and healthy subjects. Hypoalbuminemia was more marked in RA patients than in SLE patients. There was no correlation in RA patients between albumin

Low serum albumin level as an independent risk factor for the onset of pressure ulcers in intensive care unit patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

Critically ill patients are at high risk of developing pressure ulcers (PUs) and patients who develop PUs remain significantly longer in the intensive care unit (ICU) with significantly increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the identification of patients at truly increased risk is important.

Relation between the serum albumin level and nutrition supply in patients with pressure ulcers: retrospective study in an acute care setting.

Only registered users can translate articles

This retrospective study examined the validity of the commonly used serum albumin level as an indicator of nutrition status of patients with pressure ulcer(s), particularly because the serum albumin level is affected by various factors and may not be specific to malnutrition. Specifically, we

Serum albumin level is a limited nutritional marker for predicting wound healing in patients with pressure ulcer: two multicenter prospective cohort studies.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the predictive validity of serum albumin for pressure ulcer healing, according to patient condition and wound characteristics. METHODS This study was a secondary analysis of pooled data from two multicentre cohort studies undertaken in 2005 and 2007. All adult

Intravenous albumin shortens the duration of hospitalization for patients with hypoalbuminemia and bleeding peptic ulcers: a pilot study.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Patients with hypoalbuminemia have an increased risk of ulcer rebleeding and longer length of hospitalization. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to test whether intravenous albumin can decrease the incidence of rebleeding or shorten the duration of hospitalization in patients with bleeding

Interaction of lafutidine in binding to human serum albumin in gastric ulcer therapy: STD-NMR, WaterLOGSY-NMR, NMR relaxation times, Tr-NOESY, molecule docking, and spectroscopic studies.

Only registered users can translate articles

In this study, lafutidine (LAF) was used as a model compound to investigate the binding mechanism between antiulcer drugs and human serum albumin (HSA) through various techniques, including STD-NMR, WaterLOGSY-NMR, (1)H NMR relaxation times, tr-NOESY, molecule docking calculation, FT-IR
