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

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

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

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

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'

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

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 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

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.

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

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

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

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
