D-dimer as a biomarker for disease severity and mortality in COVID-19 patients: a case control study

Yumeng Yao, Jiatian Cao, Qingqing Wang et al. · 10 Jul 2020

Abstract Background Over 5,488,000 cases of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) have been reported since December 2019. We aim to explore risk factors associated with mortality in COVID-19 patients and assess the use of D-dimer as a biomarker for disease severity and clinical outcome. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical, laboratory, and radiological characteristics of 248 consecutive…

Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction: pathophysiology and management

Yasuyuki Kakihana, Takashi Ito, Mayumi Nakahara et al. · 21 Mar 2016

Sepsis is aggravated by an inappropriate immune response to invading microorganisms, which occasionally leads to multiple organ failure. Several lines of evidence suggest that the ventricular myocardium is depressed during sepsis with features of diastolic dysfunction. Potential candidates responsible for septic cardiomyopathy include pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), cytokines, and nitric oxide. Extracellular histones and high-mobility…

Procalcitonin: a promising diagnostic marker for sepsis and antibiotic therapy

Ashitha L. Vijayan, Vanimaya, Shilpa Ravindran et al. · 3 Aug 2017

BACKGROUND: Sepsis is a global healthcare problem, characterized by whole body inflammation in response to microbial infection, which leads to organ dysfunction. It is becoming a frequent complication in hospitalized patients. Early and differential diagnosis of sepsis is needed critically to avoid unnecessary usage of antimicrobial agents and for proper antibiotic treatments through the screening…

Bacterial contamination of inanimate surfaces and equipment in the intensive care unit

Vincenzo Russotto, Andrea Cortegiani, Santi Maurizio Raineri et al. · 1 Dec 2015

Intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired infections are a challenging health problem worldwide, especially when caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens. In ICUs, inanimate surfaces and equipment (e.g., bedrails, stethoscopes, medical charts, ultrasound machine) may be contaminated by bacteria, including MDR isolates. Cross-transmission of microorganisms from inanimate surfaces may have a significant role for ICU-acquired colonization and infections.…

High-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy in adults

Masaji Nishimura · 30 Mar 2015

High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy comprises an air/oxygen blender, an active humidifier, a single heated circuit, and a nasal cannula. It delivers adequately heated and humidified medical gas at up to 60 L/min of flow and is considered to have a number of physiological effects: reduction of anatomical dead space, PEEP effect, constant fraction…
