Patients and methods: It is a prospective double blind study done on total 300 patients. Admitted with respiratory failure ARDS due to severe lung contusion. All of them selected to be ventilated for one week or more. Patients were randomly allocated in one of three groups each group contain 100 patients. Group A considered control extubated and follow our routine protocol, patients of group B reconnected to mechanical ventilation before extubation for one hour. patients of Group C extubated and immediately connected to NIV with BIPAP mode for 1 hour every 12 hours for 24 hours. Results: There was significant reduction in the number of patients had deterioration in conscious level in all the duration of the study in patients of both groups B and C compared to group A. Also significant reduction in the number of patients had deterioration in clinical parameters of respiration in all the duration of the study in patients of both groups B and C compared to group A as regards high respiratory rate, desaturation and development of hyperdynamic circulation (tachycardia and hypertension). significant reduction in the number of patients had multiple quadrant parenchymatous infiltration in all the duration of the study in patients of both groups B and C compared to group A. significant reduction in the number of patients had marked limitation to FEV1, FVC and MVV in all the duration of the study in patients of both groups B and C compared to group A. Conclusion: Use of either NIV every 12 hours for 24 hours or MV for one hour after fulfillment of weaning criteria reduces reintubation and post-extubation respiratory failure and decrease the ICU stay in critically ill patients with resolving ARDS due to severe lung trauma.
This study investigates the association of genetic effects of rs7903146 and dietary intake on type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) risk in a healthy population. T2DM risk was assessed through glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) concentration in 73 subjects. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ).
This is an observational study to determine the efficacy and safety of Potenfill for temporary penile enhancement. The pivotal study of Potenfill has already been completed and this observational study determines the long-term efficacy and safety for up to 24 months in subjects who have been participated and treated in the pivotal study.
This study evaluates the effect of intramuscular injected methylprednisolone treating birch pollen induced rhinitis compared to placebo.
Western medicine, as to disease detection, is based on histological pathology and organ anatomy, therefore biochemistry and medical imageology were developed to determine the location and mechanism of the sickness. Chinese medicine, in the other way around, follow the harmony between man and nature, creating four ways of diagnosis, namely looking, listening, questioning and pulse feeling, which evaluate the physiological homeostasis by the yin-yang of qi and blood, further judging the energy exchange between individual and the universe.
The aim of this study is to assess the effect of interval hypoxy-hyperoxic training (IHHT) on the arterial stiffness and elasticity of the liver tissue in patients with metabolic syndrome and on other components of the metabolic syndrome, and the possibility of their reversible recovery after training.
Static or dynamic postural control cannot be fully restored in patients with Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). Moreover, deficits in balance and postural control may still be present in both extremity after TKA. However, the contralateral knee OA grade, asymmetrical gait pattern, and postural sways still remain a risk factor for balance deficits and falls. Based on this rationale, the aim of this study is to evaluate the balance and fall risk before and after TKA in patients who suffered from bilateral knee osteoarthritis and to clarify the balance and fall risk difference between unilateral and bilateral TKA patients.
This study focuses on comparing the effect of MPM with or without collagen membrane on delayed implant placement in anterior maxillary aesthetic zone.
The occurrence of post-pancreatectomy acute pancreatitis (PPAP) can critically impact outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Although diagnosing a PPAP can be challenging, its identification appears crucial as it can trigger additional morbidity. However, due to the early onset in the perioperative period, the actual spectrum of its early phases has not been systematically explored yet. For this reason, the present study will compare some early biochemical evidence of pancreatic stump damage to morphological changes evident at postoperative imaging. The postoperative evaluation of serum and/or urine pancreatic enzymes and the radiologic assessment are included in everyday clinical practice. However, the timing and the clinical relevance of such findings mostly rely on the single-institution experience. This study aims to characterize PPAP by investigating its early radiologic, biochemical, and clinical spectrum of either local or systemic changes associated.
The aim of the study was to analyze the importance of the position of the body and the examined upper limb on the parameters of movement coordination and hand grip strength in various age groups of people after a stroke and healthy individuals.
