Since last December 2019, a syndrome of severe pneumonia associated with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. It is highly contagious and rapidly spread to many other parts of China and almost all countries all over the world, representing one of the most
The aim of this study is to study factors associated with physical functional limitations in daily living in patients SARS-CoV2 infected and hospitalized in the acute phase then requiring rehabilitation.
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
Although anesthesiologists recognize that residual neuromuscular block can adversely affect postoperative recovery, a high percentage of patients continue to arrive in the PACU with TOF ratios < 0.9. An important reason this problem occurs is that anesthesiologists rarely use quantitative
Enhanced recovery pathways and early extubation of subjects undergoing cardiac procedures has now become mainstay, especially with the advent of minimally invasive procedures .
To facilitate optimal recovery after extubation; muscle strength is vital to prevent reintubation, improved deglutition and
Pain following urethroplasty with buccal mucosal graft (BMG) harvesting is primarily related to the oral graft harvest site. This pain results in significant increases in narcotic use, patient morbidity, and limits nutritional intake following surgery. During BMG harvesting, lidocaine with
Inclusion was based on the availability of all the following possible predictive pre-operative variables: age, gender, weight, height, body mass index, diabetes, creatinine, duration of MG, severity of MG (based on Osserman's classification), pathological type of MG, history of myasthenic crisis,
Neuromuscular blocking agents are used as part of most general anesthetics to help facilitate tracheal intubation and optimal surgical conditions (Barish et al). These medications cause universal paralysis of patients while unconscious. After most surgeries where extubation is planned, the standard
Endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation are always used to treat acute respiratory failure in critically ill patients. Successful weaning from ventilator and extubation are crucial to determine the prognosis when patient's underlying disease getting improvement. The reasons for extubation
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Canada. In addition to lung impairment, secondary effects of the disease are well established including impairments in muscle function and exercise capacity. However, individuals with COPD also have marked
Admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) with critical illness is typically associated with profound physical impairments including peripheral skeletal muscle wasting and dysfunction. These effects demonstrate a rapid onset from the point of ICU admission, affect those with higher illness acuity
Purpose and Design. Large numbers of children snore on a regular basis in UK. It is known that habitual snoring is associated with cognitive weakness but not known if it is the cause of cognitive weakness. Teenagers who snored at a young age do less well at school than peers, who did not snore at a
Citrulline is an amino-acid almost exclusively released by the small intestine after its synthesis from glutamine by the OTC in enterocytes. Citrulline from the small intestine is released into the portal vena and, because it does not enter hepatocytes, it reaches the systemic circulation to be
