TITLE: Characteristics of COVID-19 infection in pregnant women (CCOVID-PREG) Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease characterized by severe respiratory illness which can lead to multi-organ damage. It was reported in December 2019 in China, and was declared as a

Consecutive patients hospitalized between March 12, 2020 through March 27, 2020 are eligible for inclusion if they were 18 years of age or older, had confirmed COVID-19 infection, with radiographic evidence of bilateral pulmonary infiltrates, and required oxygen by nasal cannula, high-flow nasal

Participants will be randomly assigned (1:1) to one of two arms: Arm 1: Indwelling pleural catheter (with talc pleurodesis if suitable) Arm 2: Pleurodesis via Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery Arm 1: Indwelling pleural catheter is a long-term catheter that is tunnelled under the skin and allows

Blood pressure monitoring displays a crucial part of anesthetic management. An intraoperative hypotension (IOH) is an unwanted complication that can occur during an anaesthetization or during the following duration of the surgery. Causes for this can be vasodilatation (e.g. due to medication), loss

The thoracic surgeon tend to dissect the inferior pulmonary ligament during upper lobectomy, which in theory reduces the free space in the upper thoracic cavity by increasing the mobility of the residual lung. In reality,however,ligament dissection may lead to bronchial deformation, stenosis,

INTRODUCTION Stroke is defined as sudden neurological deficit due to an abnormality in cerebral blood flow, with sign and symptoms lasting for more than 24 hours. Strokes can be grouped into two fundamental classification according to the American Stroke Association (ASA), first is ischemic (87%)

Hypothesis Exhaled nitrogen oxide (FeNO) is elevated in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps (CRSwNP). FeNO can be used as screening for concurrent asthma and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Design The study is a prospective, observational multicenter trial. Patients are recruited

Background The pneumothorax may be defined as presence of air in the pleural cavity which then leads to a decrease in lung expansion, and consequently lung collapse. The pneumothorax occurs due to air lodged at the pleural space either between the pleural cavity and the alveolar between the pleural

ORIGINAL HYPOTHESIS Increasing pacemaker left ventricular stimulation output is safe and well-tolerated, and increases acute and longer term exercise capacity and quality of life through improved left ventricular function over a range of heart rates. The project consists of two closely related work

Aging leads to the biological and physiological changes in the human body but it is more pronounced in frail elderly. One of the body systems which will undergo changes due to aging is the respiratory system. Respiratory system changes can be in terms of mechanics, muscular and immunological

Primary Objective : To compare the percentage of patients achieving reduction in hemoptysis in intrabronchial voriconazole with standard medical therapy group vs standard medical therapy alone for inoperable symptomatic pulmonary aspergilloma. Secondary Objectives: 1. To compare the percentage of

1. The anticipated number of patient subjects will reach 120 in the study. The patient's condition should be informed to his/her next of kin and then agree to signs the informed consent. 2. When passing spontaneous breathing trials and removing tracheal tube, the patients should be divided into two

RESEARCH PROJECT OBJECTIVES The aim of the presented scientific project is to establish the factors, with special reference to the type of surgical technique, tissue accumulation of advanced glycation end products, and collagen content in transversalis fascia, associated with development of

This will be a double-blind, 3-arm, randomized controlled trial with a treatment 1: treatment 2: control allocation ratio of 1:1:1. Primary outcomes of interest are opioid requirements and pain scores over initial 72 hours of the postoperative period. Opioid requirements will be assessed by

Patients with pleural effusions routinely undergo thoracentesis in which a catheter is placed into the pleural space to remove the fluid both for diagnostic and therapeutic reasons. In this setting, large amounts (often liters) of fluid are removed to palliate the patient's symptoms of
