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

1. STUDY SYNOPSIS 1.1 Rationale Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease, leading to impaired function, reduced quality of life, comorbidities and increased mortality. Fortunately, improved knowledge about disease mechanisms catalyzed rapid development of effective targeted

Lung cancer is the most common cancer, accounting for 20% of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In 2015, an estimated 610,200 patients (22 per cent of cancer-related deaths) died of lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancer ((NSCLC)) accounts for 80% to 85% of lung cancer. Most patients are locally

Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in adults has been defined as a non-specific systemic inflammatory process in the absence of infection, following incidents such as trauma, burns, pancreatitis, or major surgery. For children, age-specific SIRS criteria were established by the

• Patients: The inclusion criteria are: 1. age>18 years; 2. KT recipient. The exclusion criteria are: 1. metallic joint prostheses, cardiac stent or pacemakers, decompensated cirrhosis, pregnancy and limb amputations (due to bioimpedance technique limitations); 2. no prior diagnosis of pulmonary

Encephalopathy, thiamine deficiency, uremia, hypertension, electrolyte imbalance after dialysis are clinical pictures with high incidences in case of renal failure. There are multifactor reasons in its pathophysiology such as hormonal imbalance, oxidative stress, accumulation of metabolites in time,

2.1 Description and analysis of sex-specific differences in hemodialysis patients and the associated male-to-female mortality in Austria Hypothesis: There are sex-specific differences in hemodialysis incidence/prevalence and mortality among hemodialysis patients in Austria. There are differences in

The treatment of cystoid macular edema (CME) in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is well established in medical literature. These treatments include topical and oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAI), intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide, and laser photocoagulation. Oral acetazolamide, a carbonic

The disease is caused predominantly by Shiga toxin-producing enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (STEC) and is one of the most common etiologies of acute kidney injury (AKI) and an important cause of acquired chronic kidney disease in children [2]. The incidence of HUC tends to parallel the seasonal

Globally, the mortality after any infection in cirrhosis patients is very high. The cumulative mortality in patients with infections was 43.5% (11,987 patients) where as the mortality rate without infection was 13.6% (2317 patients). Over the years, variceal bleeding causing death in cirrhosis has

Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is of great value in supporting patients with severe cardiopulmonary failure, but the mortality rate is still high. Acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload (FO) are the leading causes of death in patients under Veno-arterial (VA) ECMO.

Fluid overload is a common problem in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and it is associated with left ventricular hypertrophy and other adverse cardiac consequences. Fluid management is therefore an important aspect in the management of dialysis patient. Despite improvements in dialysis methods and

Background - Optimal timing of renal replacement therapy (RRT) initiation in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) is unknown - No consensus guides clinical practice on this issue - Conflicting results from randomized controlled trials - Lack of consistency regarding outcome; should

Background: Acute pancreatitis is a common problem in the United States necessitating 275,000 hospital admissions per year, with resultant healthcare costs of approximately 2.5 billion USD annually. As numerous trials have failed to show a benefit to specific pharmacologic therapies in acute

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
