This study was conducted in patients with acute myocardial infarction who undergo direct PCI in Chinese PLA General Hospital. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: the adequate hydration group guided by Vigileo and control group. For the adequate hydration group guided by Vigileo,

Fluid resuscitation is a key determinant in the management of these parturients. Hypovolemia exacerbates organ failure, whereas volume overload results in pulmonary edema. In this setting, the use of noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring is associated with reduced mortality. Point-of-care lung

Design: Retrospective cohort study that will review the data of patients seen in participating centers with a confirmed or probable diagnosis of COVID-19 between March and April 2020. Those patients who test positive for nasopharyngeal exudate for SARS-CoV-2 will be considered a confirmed case using

This will be a randomized, controlled trial of 300 women with a diagnosis of preeclampsia at any point in their current pregnancy or immediately postpartum. Immediately postpartum is defined as preeclampsia diagnosed after delivery but prior to discharge from the hospital. The diagnosis of

With the increasing prevalence of obesity, diabetes mellitus and the metabolic syndrome in the general population, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common cause of chronic liver disease. NAFLD refers to a wide spectrum of liver damage, ranging from simple steatosis to

Renal transplantation is the standard treatment for patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease, as it is effective in reducing the morbidity and mortality of patients in this condition. Despite satisfactory results, some patients have graft dysfunction and difficult-to-control hypertension, with

Patients with admitted to hospital with Acute Decompensated Heart failure (ADHF) suffer a significant morbidity and premature mortality. Administration of intravenous (IV) diuretics is largely guided by clinical judgment based on physical exam, net fluid measurement, changes in daily weights and

PhD project description The arterial wall in patients with diabetes: Do changes in arterial basement membrane proteins predict future arterial disease? Are remodeling processes altered? Applicant: Anne-Sofie Faarvang Thorsen1, MD Main supervisor: Professor Lars Melholt Rasmussen1 Co-supervisors:

Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in adults has been defined as a non-specific systemic inflammatory process in the absence of infection, following incidents such as trauma, burns, pancreatitis, or major surgery. For children, age-specific SIRS criteria were established by the

• Patients: The inclusion criteria are: 1. age>18 years; 2. KT recipient. The exclusion criteria are: 1. metallic joint prostheses, cardiac stent or pacemakers, decompensated cirrhosis, pregnancy and limb amputations (due to bioimpedance technique limitations); 2. no prior diagnosis of pulmonary

Background: Uveitis is a potentially blinding complication of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Treatment remains a substantial challenge, even though the use of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-antagonists has improved visual outcomes substantially. Among these agents, adalimumab has been recently

Short-term Efficacy of Transperineal Laser Ablation (TPLA) With Image Fusion and Multi-parametric (mpMRI) Follow-up in Focal Low-intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer. It is an interventional pilot study. The recruitment and evaluation of eligibility will be done by the Multidisciplinary Neoplasms Group

Efficacy of Ultrasound Guided Percutaneous Transperineal Laser Ablation in Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy Patients: Non-Pharmacological Interventional Study The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the efficacy of TPLA under US-guidance and the safety and the reproducibility in acute and

Introduction. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) are prioritized as a second-line therapy for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D), especially in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) or when there is a need to avoid weight gain and hypoglycemia. Randomized

Decision to perform this observational study was made due to the lack of information on the local incidence and risk factors for the development of immediate postoperative delirium (IPD). A literature review was done to study the already implicated perioperative causative factors as well as other
