Filter by:The omicron variant of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a global epidemic in 2022. The aim was to investigate the symptom spectrum and risk factors for fever in pediatric and adult patients with omicron infection. From April 8, 2022 to May 17, 2022, this prospective observational study included patients who attended the child-parent sections of the Fangcang shelter hospitals with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19. Patient data were collected from questionnaires. The risk factors for prolonged fever and high fever were identified by univariate and multivariate analyses.
Fever is a common clinical symptom in patients with postoperative scoliosis. However, there are rare reports of immediately fevers occurring following operative procedures.
A combined approach of cytoreductive surgery (SRC) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) represents a potential treatment option for patients diagnosed with primary or secondary gastrointestinal or gynaecological malignancies with peritoneal involvement. While the surgical phase of the operation macroscopically addresses the cancerous tissue, the HIPEC phase targets the microscopic tumour cells that remain after surgery (1). The surgical procedure known as SRC and HIPEC is one of the most complex surgical procedures, presenting numerous challenges for both the surgical and anaesthesia teams. The haemodynamic, haematological and metabolic changes that occur before, during and in the early postoperative period are associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. It is therefore crucial for anaesthesia management to maintain normovolemia during surgery, compensate for hypothermia in the surgical phase and hyperthermia in the HIPEC phase, and maintain metabolic and haemodynamic balance throughout the entire procedure. The objective of this study was to retrospectively examine the anaesthesia management and clinical outcomes in patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in order to create literature information that can facilitate the early recognition and prevention of haemodynamic, haematological and metabolic problems that occur especially in the intraoperative and postoperative period.
Upper respiratory infections (URIs) have long posed a significant burden to the US healthcare system. Well before the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic they have been among the most common acute outpatient illnesses, causing 75-100 million physician visits each year on average, and costing the health care system billions of dollars annually. This double-blind randomized placebo-controlled study tested the efficacy of two anti-inflammatory throat sprays against placebo and against a throat spray taken in conjunction with 325mg of aspirin, a well-known systemically administered cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor. Participants having common cold symptoms lasting less than two days were enrolled and given treatment to administer at home. Various common cold symptoms were assessed and measured via clinically validated self-assessment scales. Participants were screened for influenza and COVID-19 before enrollment and were excluded if found positive.
The research was conducted in a randomized controlled design to evaluate the effectiveness of the fever management training given to mothers of children aged 0-5.
Gastrointestinal tumours (GITs) are the most common and fatal cancers worldwide; 96% of GITs show the microsatellite-stable (MSS)/proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) phenotype, and these tumours have a poor response to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. Hyperthermia combined with ICI treatment (HIT) has been reported to show a synergistic sensitisation effect in numerous basic studies. This study aimed to validate the effectiveness, safety, and feasibility of water-filtered infrared A radiation (WIRA) whole-body hyperthermia combined with PD-1 inhibitor therapy and evaluate the real-world clinical application prospects of HIT. This open-label single-arm phase 2 clinical trial aimed to enrol advanced GIT patients with the MSS/pMMR phenotype in the East Asian population who had received third-line or higher treatment. The patients were treated with whole-body hyperthermia on days 1 and 8 of each HIT cycle along with administration of tislelizumab 200 mg on day 2 (24 h after the hyperthermia at day 1). The primary outcome was the disease control rate (DCR), while the secondary outcomes were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), safety, and improvement in quality of life.
This study was designed to evaluate whether adding Video discharge instructions to usual verbal information improves understanding of the information provided to caregivers of patients presenting to pediatric emergency departments for high fever. As secondary goals, it was aimed to assess whether video discharge instructions increase satisfaction with information received and reduce repeat visits.
Fever is a frequent cause of admission to the Emergency Department (ED) around the world. While it can be caused by a wide range of conditions, the most effective treatment based on its etiology is still undetermined. This observational, prospective, single-center study enrolled adult patients who accessed the ED for fever, with the aim to define the most effective treatment for them.
This is a prospective, non-randomized data collection study to evaluate the performance of the Masimo INVSENSOR00063 in obtaining temperature measurements.
The purpose of this clinical validation is to evaluate the the clinical bias, the limits of agreement, and the clinical repeatability of measuring oral temperature using a new thermometer, NC° Thermometer (Gen 3), compared to a reference clinical thermometer.
