Background and scientific rationale:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, health care systems around the world are overwhelmed.
Surge of patients requiring hospital admission have led to shortages of ICU beds and mechanical ventilators. As an emerging clinical entity, little is known about the precise
The FARAD MI will be a randomized, multicenter prospective study will be conducted. Patients with the diagnosis of ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction treated at the Sancta Maggiore Emergency Departments who have been thrombolyzed and aged up to 80 years will be included. After
Background
Acute chest pain triage in the Emergency Department (ED) may prove challenging, since similar symptoms can reveal both mild or life-threatening disorders, and the clinical presentation itself is known not to be reliable for evaluating the risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) .
The first
This study is a prospective, single arm, observational study of patients at Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital receiving treatment for laryngotracheal stenosis using a modified tracheal dilatation balloon. The tracheal balloon dilatation procedure is clinically well-established and is
Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a progressive disease affecting the pulmonary vessels and leading to an increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and thus right heart strain. The result is an increase in mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) and with time dilation of the right heart chambers as
The primary endpoint of this research study is to prove safety in healthy subjects breathing humidified hypoxic inspiratory gas mixture for 5 days.
The secondary endpoint of our study is to describe the physiological and biochemical changes during the 5-day hypoxic period and the 2 days after return
Ticagrelor is a reversibly binding, direct-acting, oral P2Y12 antagonist used for prevention of atherothrombotic events in patients with acute coronary syndrome. It does not belong to thienopyridines; it is a carbocyclic nucleoside, representing a "first-in-class" cyclopentyl-triazolo-pyrimidine.
In
Drugs such as fentanyl, midazolam, and propofol are widely used in emergency departments for procedural sedation and analgesia because they have a rapid onset and short duration of action. Unfortunately, all of these agents may cause respiratory depression, particularly when combined with other
1.0 BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESES
Post endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis is defined as the development of epigastric pain radiating to the back accompanied by either an increase in the pancreatic enzymes (amylase and lipase) to greater than three times the upper limit of
Acute chest syndrome (ACS) is a frequent complication of sickle cell disease and is diagnosed by a new infiltrate on chest x-ray and one of the following: chest pain, fever, or respiratory signs or symptoms (tachypnea, cough, new onset hypoxemia, or increased work of breathing.)The treatment for
BACKGROUND Cardiac troponins are sensitive markers for myocardial injury in ACS and even a minor elevation of cardiac troponins is associated with an increased risk for future adverse coronary events. However, a detectable troponin release occurs only in a part of patients admitted with ACS. The
Abdominal pain and Cystic Fibrosis Cystic fibrosis is the most common lethal autosomal recessive disease among Caucasians. CF is caused by a single gene mutation on chromosome 7, which encodes for a membrane protein, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). CFTR channel
BACKGROUND Cardiac troponins are sensitive markers for myocardial injury in ACS and even a minor elevation of cardiac troponins is associated with an increased risk for future adverse coronary events. However, a detectable troponin release occurs only in a part of patients admitted with ACS. The
Altitude affects human health and well being through its effect on tissue oxygenation by altering the partial pressure of oxygen in the gas that enters the lungs. The partial pressure of any component of a mixed gas is equal to the total pressure of the gas multiplied by the fraction of the gas that
