attention deficit hyperactivity disorder/hypoxia

Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in over 6 million confirmed infected cases worldwide and over 397,000 deaths as of June 8th, 2020 according to the World Health Organization. Currently, there is no specific medication for COVID-19, as there are different protocols of treatments that

The study will be divided into two phases, each with different variables to evaluate, as described below: The primary objective of the first phase (proof-of-concept) will be to evaluate the effect of pyridostigmine on the serum level of interleukin (IL)-6 as an indicator of severe inflammation, as

Non-small cell Lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most frequent type of lung cancer worldwide. Brain metastases (BM) are the most frequent neurological complications related to NSCLC and it is estimated that 20% to 40% of these patients will present them at some point during the progression of their

Upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy (UGIE) is a valuable procedure that is commonly used for the diagnosis of possible causes of upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT) symptoms such as bleeding, pain, dysphagia, recurrent vomiting and reflux. Moreover, it is a safe and easy procedure for taking

There are many differences between children's OSAHS and adult OSAHS. Children's OSAHS mainly causes cognitive and neuropsychological disorders, hyperactivity disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, aggressive behavior, learning decline and nocturnal enuresis. At present, there are many

Major cardiac complications are responsible for at least a third of perioperative deaths and are associated with significant morbidity, prolonged hospitalization and increased costs. This number is expected to rise as more surgeries are undertaken in older and frailer patients. The term myocardial

Cardiac arrest (CA) is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in pediatric patients. Yearly incidence of CA is 7- 8 cases per 100000 children. Hypoxia is the leading cause of OHCA with up to 1/3 being of respiratory origin, and drowning in ¼ of cases. Up to 2/3 of children admitted to

Obese patients are often scheduled for colonoscopy under analgo-sedation. Analgo-sedation is characterized by deep conscious sedation and preserved spontaneous breathing. Continuous intravenous application of sedatives favors patients' circulatory stability and application of oxygenation contributes

Respiratory distress syndrome, also known as hyaline membrane disease, occurs almost exclusively in premature infants. The incidence and severity of respiratory distress syndrome are inversely related to the gestational age of the newborn infant. The incidence of RDS is around 60 - 80% among infants

Preoxygenation before endotracheal intubation in the ICU is a prerequisite to limit complications, ranging from desaturation, severe hypoxemia and bradycardia with potential cardiac arrest and death. International recommendations suggest the use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) technique whenever

Anesthesia requirements for advanced endoscopic procedures are approaching those of specialized surgical interventions. Although many other sedative agents are used prior to and during endoscopy, none approach propofol in terms of desirable properties. The risk of propofol sedation for

Introduction Sepsis affects at least 19 000 people in Sweden each year. Despite being a time critical condition with a high mortality, sepsis is often not identified in a timely fashion. The current study aims to identify predictors of sepsis in the ambulance setting. Early treatment is a

Following the initial recruitment, all individuals who are willing to participate and sign the informed consent document will be provided with a medical history form to complete. In addition, the investigators will ask participants to sign a HIPAA authorization form in order to look into their

Study subjects will be patients who have failed to achieve an adequate mobilization of hematopoietic progenitor cells (so-called stem cells) into their blood stream to safely proceed with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as a component of treatment for a hematological malignancy. There are
