Background
On February 21th 2020, SARS-CoV-2 outbreak erupted in Italy and, in the immediately subsequent period, all the Italian regional Health Systems had to face with an overwhelming increase of COVID-19 admissions requiring isolation, oxygen, ventilation and ICU beds.
The COVID-19 related
Design: Retrospective cohort study that will review the data of patients seen in participating centers with a confirmed or probable diagnosis of COVID-19 between March and April 2020. Those patients who test positive for nasopharyngeal exudate for SARS-CoV-2 will be considered a confirmed case using
Thromboembolism is a frequently seen complication in patients who undergo long-term movement restriction and undergo surgical intervention, causing serious consequences such as pulmonary embolism . For this reason, heparin is frequently used for protective or therapeutic purposes in clinical
Study Type: Interventional, randomized, parallel Assignment and no masking
Study Arms & Intervention: Drug 1: Aspirin, 100mg/day orally; Drug 2: rivaroxaban, 10mg/day orally; Drug 3: low molecule heparin, 4000IU(0.4ml)/day subcutaneous injection; Reference: mechanical prophylaxis.
Follow-up Period:
In the United States more than 5 million patients each year get a central venous catheter. Indications for central venous catheterization include infusion of irritant drugs like chemotherapy or total parenteral nutrition, poor peripheral venous access and long term administration of drugs such as
For chronic pulmonary embolism thrombus hypertension, the potentially curative treatment is endarterectomy, however in 12 to 60% it does not present surgical susceptibility, so pulmonary balloon angioplasty is the secondary option. In these procedures the complication that occurs most frequently is
Acute and chronic venous disorders of the lower extremities affect millions of people and cause substantial disability. Surgeons and pathologists identified the presence of 'spur-like' abnormalities of the left common iliac vein, these abnormalities were hypothesized to result from compression
Decision to perform this observational study was made due to the lack of information on the local incidence and risk factors for the development of immediate postoperative delirium (IPD).
A literature review was done to study the already implicated perioperative causative factors as well as other
The study protocol-mandated baseline data will include demographics, comorbidities, EuroSCORE[European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation] II, C-reactive protein, left ventricular ejection fraction (by transthoracic echocardiography) and peak expiratory flow rate (assessed by spirometry).
The study consists of four sub studies
- Troponin monitoring implementation - Sub study A
- Preoperative and postoperative hs-cTnT threshold - Sub study B
- Economic analysis - Sub study C
- Advanced cardiac imaging case-control study - Sub study D
Study A:To implement and evaluate a Troponin T
This study is a one-center observational study examining DVT with PET/CT. 80 individuals with recent deep venous thrombosis (DVT) will be recruited from MGH. Imaging and clinical evaluation will be performed to look for predictors of a major complication of DVT: the post-thrombotic syndrome
Thromboembolic events in patients with chronic kidney disease are out of proportion to age matched controls occurring 2.34 times more frequently than in non-CKD patients (PMID 19561505). At the same time, patients with kidney disease are not offered the gold standard for pulmonary embolus diagnosis,
Breast reconstruction (BR) is commonly requested following mastectomy, and recent measures have been taken to ensure patient access is universal. Transferring autologous tissue from the abdomen using microvascular surgical techniques provides a reliable reconstruction method with high levels of

Methods:
The training protocol and pilot study have been developed through a collaborative effort involving emergency medicine physicians at University of Michigan (UM) and KATH. Select resident physicians (approximately 1/3 of the emergency medicine resident physicians) at KATH will participate in
