To compare outcomes of patients with infective endocarditis (IE) first treated in secondary hospitals and then transferred to reference centres for surgery, to those diagnosed in reference c...
A real-time monitoring and alerting system increased delivery of guideline-recommended care for patients with suspected sepsis but did not affect mortality. [caption id="attachment_...
Machine learning models like “random forest” may improve risk adjustment in sepsis patients by identifying important variables better than traditional models. [caption id="attac...
We sought to establish whether nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) are predictive of disposition, morbidity, and mortality for pediatric patients presenting to the emergency department (ED).A ...
The emphasis on fairness in predictive healthcare modeling has increased in popularity as an approach for overcoming biases in automated decision-making systems. The aim is to guarantee that...
Neisseria meningitidis is the leading responsible bacterium of Purpura Fulminans (PF) accounting for two thirds of PF. Skin biopsy is a simple and minimally invasive exam allowing to perform...
Intestinal atresia is one of the most common causes of bowel obstruction in newborns. Unfortunately, this diagnosis is often missed or delayed in extremely preterm infants because of complic...
Sepsis is an inflammatory disease with high mortality and morbidity. Inflammation plays an essential role in sepsis, and suppressing inflammation has been shown to ameliorate sepsis. Rnf144b...
Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus is an opportunistic pathogen associated with disease in a range of domestic and wild animals. Despite its importance, very limited data is available o...
Infective endocarditis can progress to an intracardiac abscess in 20% to 30% of cases, with interventricular septal abscess (IVSA) being one of the rare complications usually presenting with...
While ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the recommended way to restore intestinal continuity after total proctocolectomy, straight ileoanal anastomoses (SIAA) are still selectively perf...
Sepsis causes high mortality in intensive care units. Although there have been many studies on the gut microbiota in patients with sepsis, the impact of sepsis on the gut microbiota has not ...
Chemotherapy with cytarabine, vincristine (VCR), and prednisolone has achieved low mortality rates in pediatric patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). However, relapse rates rema...
BACKGROUND Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disease associated with arteriovenous malformations involving diverse organs. Neurological complic...
Malignant biliary obstruction (MBO) is often diagnosed at late stages with mostly unresectable lesions. Recently, EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) has gained wide acceptance and appears ...
Despite improvements in recognizing and managing patients with sepsis, short‐term mortality among this population continues to be high, and survivors of hospitalization remain at elevated ...
Plentiful vascularity and lack of the physis are thought to render the patella less vulnerable to osteomyelitis. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is an opportunistic pathogen predominantly affect...
The number of studies on post-traumatic stress disorder after hospitalization in a pediatric intensive care unit raised since 2004. The objective of this systematic review was to summarize a...
Hospitalised patients with decompensated cirrhosis are in a rebalanced hemostatic state due to a parallel decline in both pro- and anti-hemostatic pathways. However, this rebalanced hemostat...
Sepsis-associated brain injury (SABI) is characterized by an acute deterioration of mental status resulting in cognitive impairment and acquisition of new and persistent functional limitatio...
