BACKGROUND
An attempt to find a prediction method of death risk in patients affected by acute mediastinitis. There is not such a tool described in available literature for that serious disease.
METHODS
The study comprised 44 consecutive cases of acute mediastinitis. General anamnesis and biochemical
We analyzed the treatment of a recent group of patients with life-threatening acute posterior mediastinitis due to esophageal perforation to elucidate common factors in successful treatment. Life-threatening acute posterior mediastinitis due to esophageal perforation was diagnosed in 16 patients
We present the second draft of a consensus-assisted protocol on the adjuvant treatment after cardiac surgery with immunoglobulins of mediastinitis. CLINICAL PHASE: Phase III.
OBJECTIVE
Placebo-controlled investigation of the clinical efficacy of Pentaglobin (Biotest, Germany) as an added treatment
Multiple venous collateral pathways have been described in patients with superior vena cava obstruction. Systemic venous-to-pulmonary venous communication is the most unusual, having been described in a few cases of thoracic malignancy. In a patient with fibrosing mediastinitis radionuclide
The parameters of endogenous intoxication (EI) were studied in patients with purulent mediastinitis (PM). The integral index of E1--the coefficient C(EI) that included the relative indices (as to the normal values) of the total and effective concentrations of albumin, medium molecular-weight
Twenty cases of mediastinitis after coronary artery bypass graft operations in 1985-1987 were reviewed to determine risk factors. Two distinct clusters with a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain occurred in 1986. One resident was exposed to six cases but to only 5 of 24
BACKGROUND
Monitoring of biochemical markers of inflammation in acute mediastinitis (AM) can be useful in the modification of treatment. This study was a retrospective evaluation of selected biochemical parameters with negative impact on the prognosis in surgically treated patients.
METHODS
There
This study attempts to find a prediction method of death risk in patients with acute mediastinitis (AM). There is no such tool described in available literature for this serious disease. The study comprised 37 consecutive cases of iatrogenic AM. General anamnesis and biochemical data were included.
BACKGROUND
Sternal reconstruction with vascularized flaps is central to the management of sternal wound infections and mediastinitis but carries a high risk of complications. There is a need to identify reliable predictors of complication risk to help inform patients and clinicians in preparation
The nutritional status of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) harboring dysphagia is often poor. The efficacy and safety of enteral nutrition (EN) versus total parenteral nutrition (TPN) have not been addressed in patients with ESCC requiring nutritional support OBJECTIVE
To determine the cause of a coagulase-negative staphylococcal outbreak and to identify risk factors for surgical-site infections among patients following Medtronic Freestyle bioprosthesis implantation.
METHODS
Retrospective case-control study.
METHODS
An 800-bed university referral
BACKGROUND
Placement of self-expanding stents is an effective palliation for dysphagia in non-resectable oesophageal or proximal gastric cancer. The aim of this analysis was to assess the efficacy of temporary stent placement for dysphagia relief during neo-adjuvant treatment for locally advanced
A young man with severe multiple injuries following a motorcycle accident was admitted with head and mandible fractures, coma, fracture dislocation at C5-C6 resulting in total leg paralysis, partial paralysis of the right arm and intercostal muscles, and closed chest injury with possible pulmonary
OBJECTIVE
The current study aims to determine the correlation between nutritional status upon presentation and disease severity, as well as treatment and survival outcomes.
METHODS
Patients who were diagnosed with deep neck infection, underwent at least one surgical drainage/debridement, and had
OBJECTIVE
Outcome of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis was studied.
METHODS
Between January 1996 and August 2004, 49 consecutive hemodialysis patients [38 males and 11 females, mean age 60.0 years (range 47-74 years)] underwent CABG using
