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

BACKGROUND Since the first case of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome - Coronavirus - 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and its subsequent clinical manifestation (COronaVIrus Disease 19, COVID-19) in the city of Wuhan (Hubei, China) in December 2019, contagion abruptly spread to different regions of China

Background COVID-19 has shown a lower case-fatality rate compared to other major viral outbreaks in contemporary history, including severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) of 2002-2003. However, the relative susceptibility to symptomatic infection and the case fatality risk increase substantially

In December 2019, a group of patients with the acute respiratory disease was detected in Wuhan, Hubei Province of China. A month later, a new beta-coronavirus was identified as the cause of the 2019 coronavirus infection. Despite China's efforts to contain the disease, it spread rapidly outside the

Coronavirus disease (COVID-2019) is a devastating viral illness that originated in Wuhan China in late 2019. The number of confirmed cases worldwide has nearly reached 2 million and more than 125,000 people have died. Early studies from Wuhan reported a mortality rate of 2-3% with lower rates in

Surgical wound complications such as infection, dehiscence, necrotic tissue, surgical revision, and poor cosmesis are unfortunately highly prevalent in patients post breast reconstruction. In particular, necrosis/ischemia post breast reconstruction because of poor blood circulation is highly

Postoperative complications of any sort occurs in many of the patients undergoing high risk cancer surgery such as surgery for pancreatic, esophageal or ovarian malignancy (3, 4) These patients have a risk of wound infection mainly due to malnutrition and challenging surgical conditions (5, 6) A

- In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an important tool for those couples with difficulty conceiving or maintaining a pregnancy. In the United States, infants conceived with IVF account for approximately 1.6% of live births. - Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a highly prevalent gynecological disease,

Study Population and Clinical Examination A total of 40 individuals were recruited for the present study. Inclusion criteria included: 1) aged 25 to 45 years 2) non-smokers with no history of smoking 3) having at least 20 natural teeth. Exclusion criteria were as follows: 1) having any diagnosed

Major cardiac complications are responsible for at least a third of perioperative deaths and are associated with significant morbidity, prolonged hospitalization and increased costs. This number is expected to rise as more surgeries are undertaken in older and frailer patients. The term myocardial

Despite significant improvements in diagnostic and preventative measures, the incidence of sepsis has continued to escalate rapidly in hospitalized patients, with mortality rates ranging between 10 - 54%, depending on the level of severity. The earliest possible identification and assessment of

Surgical wound (e.g., post minor amputation, reconstruction surgery, or surgical incision) complications such as infection, dehiscence, necrotic tissue, surgical revision, and poor cosmesis are unfortunately highly prevalent in patients undergoing surgical interventions. In most cases surgical

Background Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) stands as the sixth most common cancer worldwide. The overall 5-year survival is approximately 50 % due to often advanced clinical stage at diagnosis, high rate of treatment resistance, and high incidence of second cancers. Currently there are

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: The incidence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in Denmark is approximately 4,000 per year, and the mortality remains approximately 90%. Furthermore, in the approximately 30% of patients who are resuscitated and admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), the
