noradrenaline/necrosis

1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Theoretical Framework Schizophrenia is a chronic mental illness characterized by significant clinical heterogeneity and a long evolution over time, determined by periods of psychotic exacerbation and phases of stabilization. The semiology of this nosological entity is

In Brazil, the search for satisfaction with self-image has been increasing, since the profile of the population has been altered by cultural factors such as industrialized foods with high caloric content and sedentary lifestyle. These factors result in the accumulation of adipose tissue in typical

1. Background 1.1 Major depressive disorder (MDD) MDD is a clinical syndrome characterized by the presence of low modo, anhedonia, appetite and weight changes, sleep disturbances, psychomotor alterations, fatigue, guilt and low self-esteem, ideas related to death or suicide, and concentration

FURTHER will enroll consecutive patients with AKI KDIGO stage 1 or 2 associated with a sepsis or following a cardiac surgery with CPB within 72h. Patients must have achieved a hemodynamic stabilization confirmed by clinical (no need for intravenous fluids, no significant variation of noradrenaline)

1. Background Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a complex and long-term illness that involves marked disabilities in affected patients. It has been one of the leading causes of global burden of disease, especially in the middle-age groups (GBD Lancet 2016; 388:1603-58). It is also a common

The aim of this study is to evaluate if IV albumin administration improves short-term survival in patients with advanced cirrhosis (serum creatinine ≥ 1.2 mg/dl, serum sodium ≤ 130 mEq/l -milliequivalents per liter- and/or serum bilirubin ≥4 mg/dl) and bacterial infections other than spontaneous

There is increasing evidence of a reciprocal interrelationship between chronic heart failure (CHF) and insulin resistance (IR). Studies have shown that patients with CHF have IR and that the degree of IR is associated with reduced exercise capacity and peak oxygen consumption (VO2). IR has also been

BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE The combination of acute renal failure (ARF) and sepsis is associated with a very high morbidity and mortality (1). Accordingly, there have many attempts to develop better treatments for this condition. Much clinical and molecular biology research suggests that septic shock

Recent studies have shown that the administration of cefotaxime (first choice treatment for SBP) associated with plasma volume expansion with albumin in patients with SBP, was more efficient to prevent renal failure than cefotaxime treatment alone (10% vs. 33%, respectively). The in-hospital and
