background: acute mesenteric ischemia (ami) is a catastrophic disorder of gastrointestinal tract with high mortality. due to recognition in advanced stages and late treatment of patients, the disease is still a highly fatal one. this study was conducted to determine the characteristics of the disease in the region. â  methods: in a retrospective study, all patients’ records of public and priv...

one method of treating ruptured anterior communicating aneurysms is presented. this permits early clipping through a bifrontal flap. key branches of the circle of willis are temporarily occluded by special removable clips before exposing and permanently clipping the aneurysm. this requires the use of hypothermia at 28'0. and other technical aids described. the risk of a fatal recurrent hemorrha...

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common problem in critically ill patients and is independently associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Recently, serum cystatin C has been shown to be superior to creatinine in early detection of renal function impairment. We compared estimated GFR based on serum cystatin C with estimated GFR based on serum creatinine for early detection of ...

conclusions approximately one quarter of premature neonates had early mortality, which can be predicted by low gestational age, low birth weight, low apgar score, need to intensive supports, postpartum complications, multiple gestation and history of maternal illnesses. objectives we aimed to determine mortality rate and its main indicators among premature neonates in our region with the aim of...

early prediction of ongoing hemorrhage may reduce mortality via the earlier delivery of blood products, adequate orientation of the patient in a dedicated highly specialized and trained infrastructure, and by earlier correction of acute traumatic coagulopathy. we identified 14 scores or algorithms developed for the prediction of ongoing hemorrhage and the need for massive transfusion in severe ...

Introduction: Post cardiac surgery hemorrhagic syndromes, potentialized by implementing cardiopulmonary bypass, leads to increased hazards of blood products transfusion and pertains serious impacts on immediate patients outcome. The objective of this clinical trial was to investigate the efficiency of exogenous fibrinogen to control hemorrhagic syndromes following cardiac surgery in the intensi...

atrial fibrillation (af) is the most common arrhythmia after cardiothoracic surgery. af following coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) is associated with an increase in morbidity, mortality, hemodynamic instability, thromboembolic events, severity of heart failure and icu and hospital stay. corticosteroids have a variety of beneficial effects on recovery after elective surgery. this study was de...
