A. Early detection of systemic relapses in breast cancer. WP 1. Analysis of primary tumor. Analysis of primary tumor and metastases (Pathology group). In this work package both DNA and RNA from the primary tumors of 125 high-risk (Luminal-B) patients will be analyzed by next-generation sequencing

Obesity, defined as body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight (kg)/ [height (m)] 2) of 30 or greater, is a common medical comorbidity of pregnancy affecting one third of reproductive-aged women. Maternal obesity is also a well-recognized risk factor for dysfunctional labor and cesarean delivery

Successful and fast intubation are crucial for the safety of general anaesthesia. Failed intubation and acute hypoxia remain among the major contributing factors of anaesthesia related deaths. Difficult intubation prevalence in literature is very inconsistent and varies between 1.5-20% of cases in

The ordinary pathway of intubating a morbidly obese patient for sleeve gastrectomy is bordered by the risk of difficult ventilation and intubation with the subsequent events of hypoxia and hypoventilation. When the patient is easy ventilated, it gives some sort of confidence and pleasure for the

1. Background and objectives: Coronavirus infection 2019 (COVID-19), linked to the SARS-Cov-2 virus, is rapidly spreading worldwide. After the city of Wuhan and the province of Hubei, European healthcare systems are facing an outbreak of seriously ill patients, but few are fully equipped to manage

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

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

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a severe condition among sleep respiratory disorders, characterized by intermittent episodes of partial (hypopnea) or total (apnea) obstruction of the upper airways during sleep. These obstructive episodes result in hypoxemia and hypercapnia, changes in intrathoracic

Snoring is the vibration of respiratory structures and the resulting sound due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping. Snoring during sleep may be a sign, or first alarm, of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Snoring can cause significant psychological and social problems to

A total of 90 adult patients undergoing FESS procedure for sinusitis with postoperative nasal packing. Written informed consent will be obtained from all patients before randomization. Patients will be divided equally into two groups the first 45 patients will be assigned to chlorepheniramine

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by an increasing insensitivity of muscle, fat and liver cells to the hormone insulin. About 9% of the global population is affected by this condition and mortality risk is twice as high in individuals with diabetes compared to similar-aged people without

Bariatric surgery patients: The main objective of this study is to evaluate the time spent in the SpO2 target (+/- 2% SpO2 target) and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) values on patients with morbid obesity after bariatric surgery. COPD patients: The main objective of this study is to
