There is currently no practice-based, multicenter database of poisoned patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). The INTOXICATE study, endorsed by the ESICM and EAPCCT, aimed to determine the ...
Ethical approval was obtained for this multicenter, prospective observational study, and data-sharing agreements were signed with each participating center. An electronic case report form was used to ...
Seventy-eight ICUs, mainly from Europe, but also from Australia and the Eastern Mediterranean, participated. A total of 2,273 patients were enrolled between November 2020 and June 2023. The median age...
The vast majority of patients survive, and approximately one third of patients do not receive any ICU-specific interventions after admission in an intensive care unit for acute intoxication. High-qual...

Principles of safe cholecystectomy include dissection of the hepatocystic triangle and identification of the bilio-vascular structures to achieve critical view of safety. The aim of the present study ...
All consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included in the study. Recommended techniques of safe cholecystectomy were followed. Rouviere's sulcus was classified into four...
Five hundred patients were included in the study. Critical view of safety was achieved in 463 (92.6%) patients. Type1 Rouviere's sulcus was the most common variant found in 263 (52.6%). Normal cystic ...
Wide variation in the anatomical structures is noted when principles of safe laparoscopic cholecystectomy is followed. Awareness is paramount to avoid bilio-vascular injury during surgery....
There are limited studies on the use of bronchodilators for the treatment of bronchiectasis. This study investigated the efficacy of tiotropium in patients with bronchiectasis and airflow limitation....
This study was a prospective cohort study, including 169 patients with bronchiectasis and airflow limitation from 2015 to 2019. The clinical outcomes observed in our study were the effect of tiotropiu...
After 12 months, the annual decline in the FEV...
In conclusion, prospective cohort study showed that tiotropium effectively ameliorated the annual decline in the FEV...
Clozapine-induced myocarditis and cardiomyopathy are difficult to detect clinically and may be fatal if not detected early. The current/routine biomarkers for clozapine-induced myocarditis are non-spe...
The Clozapine Safety Study was a prospective, longitudinal, observational study to determine what, if any, the plasma concentrations of clozapine, N-desmethylclozapine, and clozapine-N-oxide in patien...
Sixty-seven patients were included. Six patients were diagnosed with myocarditis; none were diagnosed with cardiomyopathy in the study period. In patients not undergoing dose titration, clozapine biot...
The assessment of clozapine-N-oxide formation, and N-oxidation relative to N-desmethylation ratios during treatment, may help identify a biomarker to aid the early detection of patients at risk of dev...
The different phases of a woman's life, such as the reproductive phase and menopause, are points of great hormonal oscillation, especially estrogen and progesterone, which can interfere with skin temp...
To describe and compare skin temperatures of women during their physiological menstrual cycle, the use of exogenous hormones and menopause over a period of 28 days....
This is a prospective observational study using a quantitative approach. A total of 45 volunteers participated and were equally allocated into three groups: Exogenous Hormone Group (EHG), Physiologica...
No significant differences were found between the mean skin temperature of women with a physiological cycle using exogenous hormones and menopause in relation to the evaluation time or between groups....
It was observed that the general skin temperature of women is not altered due to exogenous hormones, menstrual cycle phase or menopause, and that skin temperature tends to be lower in regions with an ...
Historically, norepinephrine has been administered through a central venous catheter (CVC) because of concerns about the risk of ischemic tissue injury if extravasation from a peripheral IV catheter (...
Can a protocol for peripheral norepinephrine administration safely reduce the number of days a CVC is in use and frequency of CVC placement?...
This was a prospective observational cohort study conducted in the medical ICU at a quaternary care academic medical center. A protocol for peripheral norepinephrine administration was developed and i...
The primary outcome was the number of days of CVC use that were avoided per patient, and the secondary safety outcomes included the incidence of extravasation events. Six hundred thirty-five patients ...
This study suggests that implementing a protocol for peripheral administration of norepinephrine safely can avoid 1 CVC day in the average patient, with 51.6% of patients not requiring CVC insertion. ...
