Adrenal, thyroid and gonadal axes are affected at high altitude
(2018)Humans cannot live at very high altitude for reasons, which are not completely understood. Since these reasons are not restricted to cardiorespiratory changes alone, changes in the endocrine system might also be involved. ... -
Automated oxygen delivery in hospitalized patients with acute respiratory failure: A pilot study
(2019)Background and Objectives. Despite its' proven benefits, oxygen therapy may be complicated with potential adverse events such as hypoxemia or hyperoxia-driven hypercapnia. Automated oxygen delivery systems may aid in ... -
Determinants of venous return in steady-state physiology and asphyxia-induced circulatory shock and arrest: an experimental study
(2022)Background: Mean circulatory filling pressure (Pmcf) provides information on stressed volume and is crucial for maintaining venous return. This study investigated the Pmcf and other determinants of venous return in dysrhythmic ... -
Intra-Abdominal Hypertension is a Risk Factor for Increased VAP Incidence: A Prospective Cohort Study in the ICU of a Tertiary Hospital
(2020)Background: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) might be increased in cases with intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH). However, despite animal experimentation and physiological studies on humans in favor of this hypothesis, ... -
Lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: An exploratory cross-sectional study
(2021)We aimed to evaluate differences in serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzymes between patients hospitalized for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) and other lower respiratory tract ... -
Long covid-19 pulmonary sequelae and management considerations
(2021)The human coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19) and the associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are responsible for the worst global health crisis of the last century. Similarly, to previous coronaviruses leading ... -
The Medical Research Council chronic dyspnea score predicts the survival of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(2008)Background: The Medical Research Council (MRC) chronic dyspnea scale (6-point) is used in different clinical conditions to grade breathlessness on daily activities. We have previously shown that in patients with histologically ... -

The route of a bullet through the chest and its minimal effect: A report of a "lucky" case sustained gunshot-induced penetrating thoracic injury and review of the literature
(2012)Thoracic trauma due to blunt or penetrating injury is a major cause of hospitalization worldwide, associated with high mortality rates ranging from 15 to 77%. The majority of thoracic injuries requiring surgical intervention ... -
Safety and effectiveness of alveolar recruitment maneuvers and positive end-expiratory pressure during general anesthesia for cesarean section: a prospective, randomized trial Alveolar recruitment during caesarean section
(2017)Introduction During cesarean section, the supine position reduces functional residual capacity and worsens lung compliance. We tested the hypothesis that alveolar recruitment maneuvers and positive end-expiratory pressure ... -
Transcutaneous carbon dioxide monitoring as a predictive tool for all-cause 6-month mortality after acute pulmonary embolism
(2019)Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) frequently remains undiagnosed. The partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), a surrogate of dead-space ventilation, is useful in the evaluation of the degree of pulmonary artery ... -
Tuberculous disseminated lymphadenopathy in an immunocompetent non-HIV patient: A case report
(2009)Introduction. In cases of patients with disseminated lymphadenopathy, the differential diagnosis has to include both benign and malignant causes, including sarcoidosis, metastatic disease, lymphoma and, although rarely ... -
