tachycardia/obesity

General Objective: To determine the frequency of COVID-19 in pregnant and postpartum women admitted with flu syndrome, to evaluate the clinical and laboratory predictors of COVID-19 progression and to identify the factors associated with adverse maternal and perinatal / neonatal outcomes in six

Hemorrhage remains the leading cause of direct pregnancy-related death in both the developing world and the developed world. Young, healthy patients compensate for hemorrhage via peripheral vasoconstriction, delaying the emergence of vital sign abnormalities until 15-30% of total blood volume has

INTRODUCTION Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, having a prevalence of about ~ 2% in the general population. Among healthy men and women age 40 years, the risk of lifelong AF occurrence is approximately 25%. The current estimated prevalence of AF is

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) occurs in groups that are neither traditionally considered high-risk nor have been the subject of large-scale studies. These include obesity, inflammatory arthropathy and gene-specific cardiomyopathy. Existing data to explain higher risk of arrhythmia in these cohorts rely

Background and significance: The human ether-a-go-go-related gene (HERG) encodes Kv11.1 voltage-gated potassium channels throughout different parts of the human body including the heart, pancreas and intestine. Potassium channels are important for ending the depolarization by causing repolarization

BACKGROUND Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a dreaded major complication after colorectal surgery. The overall incidence of anastomotic dehiscence and subsequent leaks is 2 to 7 percent when performed by experienced surgeons. The lowest leak rates are found with ileocolic anastomoses (1 to 3 percent) and

The integrative vascular laboratory has recently observed that the small blood vessels in the skin (the cutaneous microvasculature) in obese (BMI>30kg/m2), but otherwise healthy individuals, require a greater amount of nitric oxide (NO) to achieve the same degree of dilation when compared to age,

The advent of robotic approach to laparoscopic surgery has transformed the practice of transabdominal procedures, especially those involving the pelvic region, such as, prostatectomy, hysterectomy, among others. In-line with the advantages of robotic intervention (greater access and precision), the

BACKGROUND Anastomotic leakage is a dreaded major complication after colorectal surgery. The overall incidence of anastomotic dehiscence and subsequent leaks is 2 to 7 percent when performed by experienced surgeons. The lowest leak rates are found with ileocolic anastomoses (1 to 3 percent) and the

This protocol will examine and elucidate a mechanistic model for tuned vibroacoustic stimulation (TVS), an exteroceptive cue that has been shown to reduce subjective and physiological indicators of stress and increase behavioral performance in healthy subjects. In this study, we will test whether

Recent studies have shown alarming increases in some of the major modifiable risk factors for heart disease (cholesterol, blood pressure, adiposity) in young children. We have previously found an association between self-reported exercise during pregnancy and improved heart measures of the fetus and

Background Urolithiasis is a pathology known since antiquity although they are not known totally the causes of the formation of all the different types of calculus existing As a consequence of this, only in some cases has it been possible to develop an efficient treatment. Renal lithiasis affects a

The use of videolarygoscopy (VL) as first choice for tracheal intubation versus direct laryngoscopy (DL) is a matter of debate. These two methods were compared in several studies. First attempt intubation success and glottic visualization with VL versus DL by pediatric emergency medicine providers

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has made health care and health systems integration one of its main priorities to ensure that behavioral health is consistently incorporated within the context of health care delivery systems. However, this initiative has been

The intraoperative assessment of analgesia remains problematic and no analgesia monitor is used in routine practice. Currently, this assessment is based on hemodynamic changes, although hypertension or tachycardia is neither sensitive nor specific. An overdose in opioids exposes to many side effects
