Factors Associated With Non-Vaccination for Influenza Among Patients With CKD: Findings From the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37717847/
Possible residual confounding CONCLUSION: Among adults with CKD receiving nephrology care, younger adults, Black individuals, and those with adverse social determinants of health were more likely to have the influenza...
Rationale & Objective: Vaccination for influenza is strongly recommended for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to their immunocompromised state. Identifying risk factors for not receiving an influenza vaccine (“non-vaccination”) could inform strategies for improving vaccine uptake in this high-risk population.
Significance of the Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio, Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio, and Preoperative Nutritional Index as Predictors of Morbidity in Patients Who Underwent Liver Resection for Alveolar Echinococcosis
Aim: We aimed to evaluate the significance of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and preoperative nutritional index (PNI) as predictors of morbidity in patients who underwent liver resection for...
Conclusion: From the results of the present study, it was found that preoperative parameters did not affect morbidity, while increased postoperative NLR levels and decreased lymphocyte rates increased morbidity.
Pattern of Inflammatory Markers and Use of Antibiotics in Meconium Aspiration Syndrome: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Source : https://www.cureus.com/articles/183412
Objectives To study the pattern of inflammatory markers in meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) and their correlation with illness severity/antibiotic usage. Study design This is a retrospective analysis of neonates who...
The association between meconium aspiration and neonatal sepsis has been evaluated extensively, but the role of antibiotics in the routine management of MAS remains controversial [11,12]. Increasing evidence suggests that prolonged use of antimicrobials can lead to various undesirable outcomes for neonates, including necrotizing...
Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Associated with Acute COVID-19 Pneumonia
Cardiogenic shock carries a high burden of morbidity and mortality because of inadequate tissue perfusion leading to end-stage multi-organ damage. The initial work-up includes a pertinent and thorough history and...
The following case describes a patient presenting with symptomatic acute COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia with initial findings consistent with cardiogenic shock. SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia has been associated with multiple cardiac manifestations including myocarditis, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. This patient...
Association of Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio and Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Platelet Ratio With Acute Kidney Injury in Severe COVID-19
Background Severe disease from COVID-19 was the leading cause of admission to the emergency room and hospitalization during the pandemic in Mexico. Acute kidney injury was one of the most...
Conclusions: The NLP ratio has a moderate association and is a risk factor associated with the presence of acute kidney injury in patients with severe COVID-19.
