General Objective: To determine the frequency of COVID-19 in pregnant and postpartum women admitted with flu syndrome, to evaluate the clinical and laboratory predictors of COVID-19 progression and to identify the factors associated with adverse maternal and perinatal / neonatal outcomes in six

The epidemiological survey of chronic kidney disease in China shows that the current incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in China is about 10.8%, with about 119 million patients. About 2% of patients will enter the stage of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and require dialysis or kidney

AIMS OF STUDY The aim of this study is to investigate whether ingestion of curcumin will prevent hepatic insulin resistance (assessed by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)) induced by short-term oral glucocorticoid (prednisolone) administration in overweight and obese

Current treatments of periodontitis have limited efficacy since they fail to suppress microorganisms satisfactorily over time. The aim of present study was to investigate whether there are differences between initial treatment of chronic periodontitis (SRP) and SRP in conjunction with injectable

In order to reduce PEP risk, a rectal non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug was administered 30 minutes before the ERCP in all patients. As the standard of care at the study hospital, the patients swallowed 2% lidocaine hydrochloride gel for local pharyngeal anesthesia, and 10 mg of diazepam were

1. Test population: Patients with stage III gastric cancer confirmed by postoperative pathology 2. Sample size calculation: single arm design was used in this study, and the main outcome was progression free survival. In this study, PD-L1 + CPS ≥ 10% / MSI-H + / EB +, the sample size was estimated

1. Background In the case of acute cholecystitis, in which acute inflammation was manifested in patients with gallstones and was accompanied by pain and fever, cholecystectomy through surgery was the standard treatment, and the use of empirical antibiotics to treat inflammation and prevent

Introduction TheraSphere® TheraSphere® consists of insoluble glass microspheres where Y-90 is an integral constituent of the glass. The mean sphere diameter ranges from 20 to 30 µm. Each milligram contains between 22,000 and 73,000 microspheres. TheraSphere® is supplied in 0.6 mL of sterile,

Sarcoidosis is a relatively rare, poorly defined autoimmune disease characterized by the formation of sterile granulomas in affected organs, including the liver. The diagnosis of hepatic sarcoid is often presumed based upon an elevated liver-specific isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase or imaging

Polytrauma and serious complex injuries evoke a vast acute response of the organism to the injury in patients with serious trauma, not only in the form of trauma-haemorrhagic instability; the metabolic response of the organism to trauma also changes, these changes are manifested with activation of

Gallstones in the common bile duct (CBD) may be asymptomatic but may lead to complications such as acute cholangitis or acute pancreatitis. EST is widely used for the treatment of bile duct gallstones. Despite its efficacy and improvements over time, EST is still associated with complications such

Surgery and anesthesia are stressful events, thus there is a possibility that liver enzymes and bilirubin may increase postoperatively. Mild elevations of serum aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, or bilirubin levels are frequent after surgical procedures, whether performed under general or

Bowel cancer, or colorectal cancer (CRC), is the second most common cancer affecting both men and women in England. The majority of CRCs develop from a pre-cancerous type of growth in the bowel called an adenoma. Detecting and removing these adenomas is important in reducing CRC risk. A study which

Background: Despite recent advances in supportive care for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), mortality remains >40%. Fever worsens and hypothermia mitigates animal models of ALI and in small non-randomized in patients with ARDS. Since hypothermia reduces oxygen utilization as

Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic, relapsing and remitting, inflammatory disorder of the GI tract. The mainstay of medical therapy is comprised of 5-aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, immunomodulators such as mercaptopurine and MTX, and biologics such as infliximab and
