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

Pheochromocytoma (pheo) is a catecholamine secreting tumor arising from chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla in 90% of cases & in 10% is extra-adrenal arising from the sympathetic chain. It is malignant in 10% of cases, bilateral in 10% of patients & 10% of all pheo are inherited (Familial Pheo)

Arterial blood gas testing is considered one of the most important and widely used test in the detection of acidosis, alkalosis, electrolytes disturbance and tissue perfusion. in regard to tissue perfusion serum lactate above 4 mmol/L indicates poor tissue perfusion. serum lactate could be measured

There are several indications for elective central venous cannulation in major colorectal surgery, particularly in those at a higher risk of morbidity and mortality. These include: the ability to infuse certain vasoactive medications, monitor central venous pressure, allow for frequent blood

One hundred and twenty patients were randomly assigned into three groups (dopamine norepinephrine group, restrictive hydration group and liberal hydration group) undergoing open abdominal procedures (radical cystectomy and hemi colectomy). In Restrictive group (n=40): Ringer's solution was infused

Postoperative pain is a major cause of postoperative suffering, prolonged hospitalization, complications and increased costs. It has been shown that postoperative pain is a frequent and unresolved problem in Norwegian hospitals, and so also internationally. Building knowledge on pain prophylaxis and

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

Major depression prevail in patients with malignant tumor with an incident rate of 20% - 40%, 2-3 times more than the prevalence of population, especially high in patients with advanced solid tumor patients as 40% - 50.6%. National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) palliative care guideline

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

Background Perioperative fluid management in abdominal surgery is a subject of controversy and current standard fluid therapy is not evidence based. Standard fluid therapy includes replacement of basic fluid requirements, loss by perspiration, by exsudation through the surgical wound, and loss into

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
