• Trauma is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite the advent of specialized trauma centers the outcome of patients who sustain major trauma remains disappointing. Plain radiography and more advanced imaging techniques such as ultrasound, computerised tomography (CT) and angiography, have a major role to play in the early decision making and subsequent management of patients who sustain polytrauma. This article discusses the choice of emergency imaging techniques available in chest trauma for clinicians and radiologists; their evaluation and some of the common pitfalls that may lead to errors of interpretation.
Several imaging modalities, such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound (US) can be used to evaluate the ankle. However, US has several benefits for the evaluation of the tendons and ligaments of the ankle, such as its suitability to be integrated with a dynamic assessment and a stress test, its ability to provide real-time analysis, its avoidance of the risk of radiation exposure, and its cost-effectiveness. US is especially powerful when used to evaluate a tear, subluxation, or dislocation in a dynamic examination and when performing a comparison with the contralateral extremity. Dynamic imaging with muscle contraction or passive movement is often helpful. Additionally, Doppler imaging may be used to distinguish small intrasubstance tears from blood vessels that can occur in a tendinopathic tendon.
The aim of the study is to investigate the role of serum cystatin C (sCysC) as an early predictor for both diagnosis and short term outcome evaluation of acute kidney injury (AKI) in neonates with perinatal asphyxia admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Assiut University Children Hospital
This study is a single-center, prospective controlled trial addressing effectiveness of empagliflozin on cardiac-renal injury in patients with STEMI. Patients were randomized using a computer-generated sequence to either placebo or empagliflozin at a 1:1 ratio. Investigators, participants, and other study personnel were blinded to the assigned treatment for the duration of the study. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effects of empagliflozin on myocardial infarct size measured using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) methods at 3 months. Key secondary endpoint: incidence of CIAKI within 48h after PCI. Inclusion Criteria:Patients with STEMI who were admitted to the Chinese PLA General Hospital were recruited between Ocotor 2018 and January 2019. STEMI was defined as typical chest pain lasting >30 minutes within the previous 12 hours, a clear ST-segment elevation of >0.1 mV in two or more contiguous electrocardiographic leads, and elevated blood levels of troponin T.Exclusion Criteria:Cardiogenic shock ,Hypoglycaemia ,Diabetic ketoacidosis,Genital and urinary infections,History of myocardial infarction,Stent thrombosis,Previous coronary artery bypass surgery,Type 1 Diabetes,Severe hepatic insufficiency,Advanced cancer patients,eGFR<30 ml/min. All patients were informed of the potential risks (genital mycotic infections, urinary tract infections, diabetic ketoacidosis) associated with empagliflozin and then required to submit written informed consent before being included in the study. Patients were randomized using a computer-generated sequence to either placebo or empagliflozin at a 1:1 ratio. Patients in the empagliflozin group were treated with empagliflozin whereas patients in the control group were given placebo. The treatment started 30 minutes before PCI with a dose of 10 mg empagliflozin or placebo administered in the ambulance. After admission, patients were treated with 10 mg empagliflozin once daily for 3 mouths.
Septic shock is one of the leading causes of death in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in almost 50% of septic patients and is associated with significant mortality. Progression to the last stage (KDIGO stage 3) of AKI is an important step in the disease, as it usually requires initiation of RRT. Renal biomarkers are unable to accurately identify those patients who will progress to severe AKI (KDIGO 3). However, identification of patients at risk of progression to severe AKI could help the clinician to initiate optimal therapy including RRT. A new urine test, the Nephrocheck™ corresponding to the product of the urinary concentrations of 2 markers of renal tubule injury (TIMP2 and IGFBP7) has been validated. The Investigator have already performed two previous studies including septic shock patients (AKICHECK and BIOOCHECK). those previous datas will be reanalysed to examine whether the new urinary biomarkers TIMP2 and IGFBP7 can predict progression within 24 hours and 72 hours from mild and moderate (KDIGO 1 or 2) to severe AKI (KDIGO 3) in patients with septic shock. -All the datas required will be collected from two previous studies (AKICHECK and BIOCHECK) performed in 3 centers: Amiens medical ICU, Melun medico surgical ICU and Montpellier Medical ICU.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complex disorder with clinical manifestations ranging from mild dysfunction to complete anuric kidney failure. Its leads to sudden and rapid decline in renal excretory function within hours to days,accompanied by accumulation of nitrogenous waste products such creatinine,urea and other clinically un measured products
Fluid therapy in trauma patients is considered one of the common challenges in daily practice. Both crystalloids and colloids can be used to maintain adequate blood volume and tissue perfusion but there is an ongoing debate as both of them could affect coagulation and renal function. The latest generation of the commercially available Hydroxy Ethyl Starch (HES) solutions was developed to improve pharmacokinetics and safety profile of HES, minimizing adverse effects such as impairment of blood coagulation or renal function. But data on early fluid resuscitation in trauma patients with these starches are limited and its safety on coagulation and renal function is still questioned.
Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury in Patients Undergoing Prolonged Neurosurgical Operations
It is prospective randomized comparative clinical trial comparing primary urethral realignment vs. suprapubic cystostomy in initial management of pediatric pelvic fracture urethral injury regarding: 1. The success rate after initial intervention. 2. The need for urethroplasty in the failed realignment group and cystostomy group. 3. The success rate of urethroplasty in the failed realignment group and cystostomy group.
