To evaluate brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) blood levels as disease biomarkers of delirium in oncology inpatients.
METHODS
Seventeen oncology inpatients with delirium, 28 oncology inpatients without delirium, and 25 non-oncology controls
A case of acral skin necrosis in a 21-year-old farm workman, associated with Plasmodium falciparum malaria is reported. Patient presented jaundice, disorientation and delirium, high parasitemia, hypoglycemia, anemia, low platelets, and dark necrotic maculae surrounded by an erythematous halo,
BACKGROUND
The present study aimed to investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine on emergence delirium (ED) in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
METHODS

Elderly people are at particular high risk for postoperative delirium (POD) following spine surgery, which is associated with longer hospital stays, higher costs, risk for delayed complications, long-term care dependency, and cognitive dysfunction (POCD). It is insufficiently An autopsy case of fatal hyperthermia in a state of excited delirium is reported. On a hot summer night a 39-year-old man was suspected of being a rapist, and police officers and several men attempted to arrest him. He vigorously resisted, but after a 20-min struggle he was ultimately forced into a
Pancreatitis with infected necrosis is a severe complication of acute pancreatitis and carries with it high rates of morbidity and mortality. The management of infected pancreatic necrosis alongside concomitant colorectal cancer has never been described in Although a lot is known regarding the epidemiology and aetiology of this condition, the pathophysiology of delirium remains poorly understood. Today, the leading hypothesized mechanism for the pathogenesis of delirium focuses on a central cholinergic deficiency and dopamine excess. Besides, other
OBJECTIVE
To observe the role of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) in the protection against delirium by the use of dexmedetomidine (DEX) in endotoxin derived delirium and its mechanism.
METHODS
100 male adult C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal saline control group (NS
OBJECTIVE

Quetiapine, an atypical antipsychotic medication has lacked pre-clinical validation for its purported benefits in the treatment of delirium. This laboratory investigation examined the effects of quetiapine on the attentional set shifting task (ASST), a measure of cognitive flexibility and executive
Previous studies have not clarified the relationship of delirium to functional capacity during acute illness. We have investigated this relationship, incorporating the potential roles of APOE genotype and circulating cytokines in a longitudinal study of acutely admitted patients aged 70+ years. In
OBJECTIVE

BACKGROUND
Delirium is a common occurrence in critically ill patients and is associated with an increase in morbidity and mortality. Septic patients with delirium may differ from a general critically ill population. The aim of this investigation was to study the relationship between systemic
OBJECTIVE
To assess the associations between a priori-selected markers of inflammation and coagulation and delirium during critical illness.
METHODS
In this prospective cohort study, we collected blood from mechanically ventilated medical intensive care unit (ICU) patients and measured nine plasma
BACKGROUND
Stroke patients with development of delirium have unfavorable outcomes, higher mortality, longer hospitalizations, and a greater degree of dependence after discharge. Studies suggest that delirium is associated with abnormal immunological responses and a resultant increase in inflammatory
