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

1. Introduction: Global cerebral ischaemic-reperfusion brain injury following cardiac arrest (CA) can lead to intracranial hypertension and, occasionally, acute brain swelling. Even small increases in brain volume due to edema can result in harmful increases in intracranial pressure due to the

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has the characteristics of high morbidity, high mortality, high disability rate and high recurrence rate. Progressive cerebral infarction (PIS) is a subtype of AIS, accounting for 10% - 40%. Because of the gradual aggravation of neurological deficit symptoms, it has a

The FARAD MI will be a randomized, multicenter prospective study will be conducted. Patients with the diagnosis of ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction treated at the Sancta Maggiore Emergency Departments who have been thrombolyzed and aged up to 80 years will be included. After

Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of more intensive BP lowering target (<120 mmHg) compared to higher BP management target (140-180mmHg) on functional outcome in patients with successful recanalization post-MT for AIS due to large vessel occlusion (LVO). Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥18

Deep vein thrombosis is associated with severe morbidity and mortality. It is the most frequent type of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and responsible for approximately 800.000 deaths per year in the European Union and the United States combined. The post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a frequent

Preeclampsia is a multisystem disorder that complicates 3-5% of pregnancies and remains a major cause of maternal, fetal, and neonatal morbidity and mortality.(1) Preeclampsia is characterized by the development of new onset hypertension (HTN) and the establishment of proteinuria. Other signs and

Protocol: The Effect of Intraoperative Sequential Compression Devices on Fibrinolysis in Plastic Surgery Outpatients 1. Study Synopsis Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a serious and potentially life-threatening surgical complication. Sequential compression devices (SCDs), also called intermittent

The aim of the study is to evaluate the acute safety and feasibility of implantation of the sirolimus-eluting bioresorbable Fantom scaffold BVS in the setting of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), as well as the mid and long-term clinical efficacy and healing pattern of the device,

INTRODUCTION Chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI), which is firstly proposed by Japanese scholars in 1990s, is considered as a pathological status induced by persistent reduction of cerebral blood volume and flow (CBV and CBF), leading to ischemia and hypoxia in the brain tissue. Long-time

Since it was first described in 1967 by Ashbaugh et al, ARDS/ALI remains a global clinical problem resulting in high morbidity and mortality. These lung syndromes are life threatening, rapidly progressive disease occurring in critically ill patients characterized by hypoxemia, alterations in lung

Introduction: Fall with head injury is becoming an epidemic challenge especially with the ageing population. Contributing factors for mortality and poor functional outcome included development of cerebral contusion and delayed traumatic intracerebral haematoma. There is a higher prevalence

Study Methods: Study Population A 60 adult (aged >18 years) patients were included with a diagnosis of acute thromboembolic ischemic stroke within 48 hours after onset, according to clinical picture and imaging findings by brain computed tomography (CT) without evidence of hemorrhage, upon admission

Hemodialysis (HD) is the most worldwide prescribed renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease. This treatment that relies heavily on technology has undergone major modifications in the last five decades in order to improve patients' outcomes. Those changes that aimed at

PATIENT POPULATION Consecutive patients with first STEMI, candidates for PPCI (typical cardiac chest pain, within 12h of symptom onset, with ST segment elevation of more than 1 mm in at least two contiguous leads) and proximal coronary artery culprit lesion will be considered for
