background rapid response teams (rrts) assess patients during early phases of deterioration to reduce patient morbidity and mortality. objectives this study aimed to evaluate the ability of earlier medical intervention by a rrt prompted by clinical instability in patients to reduce the incidence of and mortality from unexpected cardiac arrest at our hospital. patients and methods a nonrandomize...

Objective: The present study was undertaken to evaluate anti-depressant activity of Myristica fragrans(MS). Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were subjected to imipramine and herbal extract ofMS for their antidepressant activity using Forced Swimming Test (FST), Reserpine Reversal Test (RRT), Haloperidol-Induced Catalepsy (HIC), and Pentobarbitone Sleeping Time (PST). Results: Administr...

Abstract The slow convergence rate and large cost of the initial solution limit performance rapidly exploring random tree star (RRT*). To address this issue, paper proposes a modified RRT* algorithm (defined as FF-RRT*) that creates an optimal with fast rate. An improved hybrid sampling method is proposed to speed up by decreasing iterations overcoming application limitation original towards co...

Primary bovine thyroid cell cultures and IB-RS-2 continuous cell line were used for foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) isolation. In both cell culture systems, all tested samples gave positive results and the specificity of isolated virus was confirmed by the Ag-ELISA. Results of virus isolation test agreed with those obtained by RT-PCR and rRT-PCR, which enabled detection of the genetic mater...

INTRODUCTION Acute kidney injury (AKI) remains a serious clinical problem in the intensive care unit (ICU). It constitutes an independent risk factor for mortality, especially when renal replacement therapy (RRT) is required. AIM Due to limited evidence pertaining to timing, choice of RRT modality and lack of studies investigating AKI in Polish ICUs, we sought to analyse outcomes of adult AKI...

Abstract Background End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients receiving haemodialysis (HD) are a vulnerable group of with increased mortality from COVID-19. Despite improved understanding, the duration host immunity following COVID-19 infection and role serological testing alone or in addition to real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) HD population is not fully unders...

Abstract Introduction/Objective Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 continues to be a global threat until the present. Most of infected patients are asymptomatic which can challenge in controlling spread disease. Antibody detection chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) is good complementary test Real-Time Reverse Transcription – Polymerase Chain Reaction (rRT-PCR) as an indi...

INTRODUCTION Indications for renal replacement therapy (RRT) have not been generally standardized and vary among intensive care units (ICUs). We aimed to assess the proportion, indications, and modality of RRT, as well as the association between the proportion of RRT use and 90-day mortality in patients with septic shock in Finnish adult ICUs. METHODS We identified patients with septic shock ...

We read with interest the article published by Zou et al. [1] regarding the timing of renal replacement therapy (RRT) initiation in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) post-cardiac surgery. The authors claim that their meta-analysis shows that early RRT initiation decreases 28-day mortality in this context. This meta-analysis included a mix of observational (retrospective and prospective) s...
