Abstract:

Objective Plasma is formed by creating a high-density energy field within an electrically conductive fluid such as saline. Sometimes ablated bits of tissue get stuck between the electrodes of the wand, obstructing the suction channel. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of cooling the irrigating saline during ablation of the hypertrophied tongue base in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Abstract:

Objectives: Successful rotator cuff repair depends upon both secure fixation and biologic integration at the bone-tendon interface. Viable osteocytes and sound bony architecture contribute to the mechanical stability of suture anchor repair constructs. Furthermore, because tendons are hypovascular, preserving the microvasculature of the underlying bone bed is important. To create the bone-tendon interface, shoulder surgeons typically employ three different techniques to clear soft tissue from the footprint prior to rotator cuff repair: mechanical debridement, radiofrequency coagulation, and ra

Abstract The multifaceted pathophysiologic processes that comprise thrombosis and thromboembolic diseases take on a particular urgency in the hospitalized setting. In this review, we explore 3 cases of thrombosis from the inpatient wards: purpura fulminans, cancer-associated thrombosis with thrombocytopenia, and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the use of dose-escalated anticoagulation therapy and antiplatelet agents. We discuss the evaluation and management of purpura fulminans and the roles of plasma transfusion, protein C and antithrombin replacement, and anticoagulation in treating

The radicals and atoms generated by a plasma have the effect, among others, of changing the surface energies of materials, which allows one to prepare nano-objects that would not stabilise in other conditions.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Dengue, a febrile Flavivirus illness transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, is endemic in Asia, the Pacific, Africa, and America and causes about 100 million clinically apparent infections annually. Although mostly it causes a fever and myalgia syndrome, some of the patients enter a critical phase - often as fever declines and develop the features of severe dengue fever: bleeding, shock, or respiratory distress due to plasma leakage or atypically, severe organ dysfunction. AIM: The aim of this study was to study the clinical profile of severe dengue fever cases. MATERIALS AND MET

Abstract:

The prognostic inflammatory and nutritional index (PINI) is a simple scoring formula allowing the follow-up of dietary protein restriction and infectious complications affecting critically ill patients hospitalized in medical and surgical wards. The World Health organization (WHO) has recently recommended using the binary CRP (C-reactive protein) and AGP (α1-acid glycoprotein) numerators of the PINI formula in underprivileged inhabitants of developing countries to evaluate their (sub)clinical infectious states making their chronic malnutrition worse. These studies, mainly located in Africa and

Abstract:

More than three years have passed since the first case, and COVID-19 is still a health concern, with several open issues such as the lack of reliable predictors of a patient’s outcome. Osteopontin (OPN) is involved in inflammatory response to infection and in thrombosis driven by chronic inflammation, thus being a potential biomarker for COVID-19. The aim of the study was to evaluate OPN for predicting negative (death or need of ICU admission) or positive (discharge and/or clinical resolution within the first 14 days of hospitalization) outcome.

The spread of the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has substantial social, health, and economic impacts. High viral load in the air in hospitals poses a risk to medical personnel. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is a new technology based on the emission in the air of reactive species, neutral particles, UV radiation, and electromagnetic field. CAP has the potential as an antiviral agent. In this study, an 80-day clinical trial took place at Nicosia General Hospital to evaluate the application of CAP devices for lowering the viral load in the COVID rooms.

Chronic α-MSH infusion reduced cumulative food intake by 10.7% ( P < 0.05 vs. saline) and body weight by 4.3% ( P < 0.01 vs. saline), which in turn lowered plasma insulin levels by 29.3% ( P < 0.05 vs. saline).

Long term exposure to volatile anesthetics may lead to liver and kidney damage and elevated plasma inflammatory markers.
