Lung ultrasound can accurately detect pandemic coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pulmonary lesions. A lung ultrasound score (LUS) was developed to improve reproducibility of the technique.To ev...
Accurate detection of cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) may be useful for neonatal brain injury prevention, and the normal range of rSO2 of neonates at high altitude remained unclear.To comp...
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infections affecting individuals of different ages worldwide. Antimicrobial agents are usually the first-line treatment for UTIs, an...
Dysphagia is one of the most common and important complications in Huntington's Disease (HD), frequently leading to aspiration pneumonia and mortality. Objective estimates of prevalence usin...
Usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) is the histopathologic hallmark of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the prototypical interstitial lung disease (ILD). Diagnosis of IPF requires a typic...
Klebsiella pneumoniae ST258 is a human pathogen associated with poor outcomes worldwide. We identify a member of the acyltransferase superfamily 3 (atf3), enriched within the ST258 clade, th...
Sepsis induces gut barrier dysfunction characterized by increased gut epithelial apoptosis and increased intestinal permeability. The cytokine IL-22 has been demonstrated to regulate gut bar...
BACKGROUND We report the case of a patient undergoing a colonoscopy during which pressure applied on the abdomen by a nurse assisting in the procedure caused an extraluminal mesenteric tear....
The reliability of machine learning models can be compromised when trained on low quality data. Many large-scale medical imaging datasets contain low quality labels extracted from sources su...
Postoperative nutritional therapy is of paramount importance for patients undergoing esophagectomy. The jejunostomy and nasoenteral tube are the popular routes for nutritional therapy. Howev...
These "rules" are suggestions for clinicians who order chest computed tomography (CTs). The first three address CT scanning technique and the ordering details that we find cause the most con...
This report summarizes the clinical features and 1-month follow-up observations for pediatric patients who were hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Wuhan Women and Child...
Antibiotic stewardship requires clear insight into antibiotic overuse and into which syndromes lead to prescription. We aim to estimate the proportion of antibiotic prescriptions attributabl...
Effective treatments for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are urgently needed. We hypothesized that colchicine, by counteracting proinflammatory pathways implicated in the uncontrolled in...
Superinfections, including invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), are well-known complications of critically ill patients with severe viral pneumonia. Aim of this study was to evaluate the ...
Postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade related to nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents may be associated with pulmonary complications. In this study, the authors sought to de...
In 2016, the self-pulling and latter transection method (named "Delta SPLT"), a modified delta-shaped gastroduodenostomy (DA) technique for totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy, was descr...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of inflammatory respiratory complications on long-term survival in patients with resected non-small cell lung cancer. We defined inflamma...
