Research Methodology A prospective cohort study will be conducted. The follow-up periods are 18 weeks.
Diagnostic criteria of mild and moderate traumatic brain injury. Diagnostic criteria of traumatic brain injury will be according to (1) American Association of Neurosurgical Surgeons (AANS)
Purpose: Over the last 10 years, recommendations regarding the ideal level of oxygen for resuscitation in preterm infants have changed from 100 percent, down to low levels of oxygen (<30 percent), up to moderate concentration (30-65 percent). In addition, in 2010, oxygen saturation targeting was
Background Each year, 50,000 extremely preterm infants are born in high-income countries with access to neonatal intensive care. Of these, 10,000 will die and a further 10,000 will suffer cerebral palsy or moderate-to-severe neuro-cognitive disability. Time spent outside normal cerebral oxygenation
Purpose: Over the last 10 years, recommendations regarding the ideal level of oxygen for resuscitation in preterm infants have changed from 100%, down to low levels of oxygen (<30%), up to moderate concentration (30-65%). In addition, in 2010, oxygen saturation targeting was recommended as standard
Many patients visit an emergency room because of their trauma. Trauma patients account for around 25-35% in an emergency room. Trauma is the biggest cause of acquired disabilities, and is greatly related to death and disabilities of those aged less than 44. As such, since trauma leads to lowering
Interventions:
Forty patients were enrolled in total. The first 20 patients (hyperoxia group) underwent a 2-hour period of normobaric hyperoxia (FiO2 1.0), according to the protocol applied in. No variation in the FiO2 was applied for the other 20 patients (control group). All patients were enrolled
The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a syndrome of severe acute lung inflammation and hypoxemic respiratory failure with an incidence of 180,000 cases annually in the U.S.Despite decades of research and recent advances in lung protective ventilator strategies, morbidity and mortality
In recent years many scientific studies demonstrated that lutein, a nutrient belonging to the family of carotenoids, may constitute a valid and important preventive and protective factor against a large number of chronic diseases affecting millions of people around the world . Studies from
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) affects the retinal microvasculature, mostly of very-low-birth-weight (VLBW: < 1500g) premature infants, and is a significant complication of extreme prematurity leading sometimes to devastating consequences. Although ROP is usually mild with no harm, it happens not
Infants with complex congenital cardiac defects frequently undergo cardiopulmonary bypass (CBP) during surgical repair of their cardiac lesions (1). CBP exposes infants and children to endothelial damage, hyperoxia, hemolysis, and systemic inflammatory response (2-7). The systemic inflammatory
80 patients will be divided in two equal groups (Group 1: to receive 20% mannitol 0.7 g/kg or Group 2: 1.4 g/kg).
The anesthetic technique and monitoring will be standardized. The administration of mannitol will start following the induction of general anesthesia. The infusion will be given
INTRODUCTION Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Due to improvements in emergency medical care, transportation and specialized trauma facilities, the number of people surviving TBI with impairment has significantly increased in recent years. The
