Timely diagnosis and proper recognition of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is essential to establish early management in inpatients and outpatients. There are different classification scales to ide...
A registry of SLE patients from two referral hospitals in Bogotá, Colombia, was used. 2021 SLERPI, 2019 ACR/EULAR, and 2012 SLICC scores were calculated for each patient and the correlations found bet...
Between 2016 and 2019, 146 patients diagnosed with SLE were registered, including inpatients and outpatients. The median age was 36 years (interquartile range 26-51), and 82.2% were women. According t...
The SLERPI scale could be useful in the diagnosis of SLE, especially in early stages, given its good correlation with other classification scales and its good sensitivity....
During veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv ECMO) therapy, antimicrobial drugs are frequently used, and appropriate dosing is challenging due to there being limited data to support the ...
We previously validated Fibresolve, a machine learning classifier system that non-invasively predicts idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) diagnosis. The system incorporates an automated deep learning ...
The prognosis of patients with chest pain after a negative exercise test is good, but some adverse events occur in this low-risk group. The aim of our study was to identify predictors of long-term adv...
We identified from our stress test laboratory database 862 patients with chest pain without previously known CAD and with a pre-test probability of CAD ranging from 15 to 65% (mean 41 ± 14%) who under...
During the median follow-up of 94 months, 87 patients (10.1%) had an adverse event (AE). A total of 30 patients died (3.5%), 23 patients suffered non-fatal MI (2.7%) and 34 patients (3.9%) had clinica...
The risk of AEs after negative exercise testing in patients with a pre-test probability of CAD of 15-65% is low. Male patients with a history of diabetes and slow HRR in the first minute after exercis...
Liver resection (LRE) and microwave ablation (MWA) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have been widely compared....
To compare the therapeutic outcomes of percutaneous MWA and LRE for HCC in ideal candidates for ablation according to Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging METHODS: Between August 2013 and Nove...
LRE had a better RFS and similar OS and post-procedure-related complication rates compared to MWA in the overall population and in the BCLC-A subgroup both before and after PSM and IPTW. However, the ...
An 'ideal candidate for ablation' according to the BCLC staging system may not be an ideal candidate for MWA. However, patients with BCLC-0 may be the optimal population for MWA....
Whether wedge resection is oncological suitable for ground glass opacity (GGO)-dominant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) ≤2 cm is still debatable. The aim of this study is to investigate the short-t...
This was a real-world study from one of the largest thoracic surgery centers in XX. Patients who underwent intentional wedge resection or segmentectomy for ≤2 cm CTR(consolidation-to-tumor)≤0.5 NSCLC ...
A total of 1209 patients were included (497 in the wedge resection group, 712 in the segmentectomy group). Compared to segmentectomy, wedge resection had a significantly lower rate of complications (3...
Intentional wedge resection is an appropriate choice for ≤2 cm GGO-dominant NSCLC....
To evaluate the feasibility of the use and continuation of sentinel lymph node navigation surgery (SNNS) as an alternative to pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) for patients with preoperatively estim...
This retrospective study selected the electronic medical records of all patients who had received CT scans and MRI imaging before surgery from April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2021. Sentinel lymph nodes (SL...
Among 137 patients, SLN biopsies with ultrastaging were performed on 91 patients. The SLN detection rate was 95.6%. Over a 59-month median observation period, no statistically significant differences ...
This study suggests the validity of SNNS as an alternative to PLND. Even in the absence of evidence from randomized controlled trials, we can confirm the validity of continuing SNNS using our procedur...
In Switzerland and other high-income countries, one out of 3000 to 5000 term and late preterm neonates develops early onset sepsis (EOS) associated with a mortality of around 3%, while incidence and m...
This guideline, developed through a critical review of the literature, facilitates a probability-based approach to the management of neonates at risk of early onset sepsis....
• Neonatal exposure to antibiotics is disproportionally high compared with the incidence of early onset sepsis with implications for future health and antimicrobial resistance....
• A probability-based approach may facilitate a more balanced management of neonatal sepsis and antibiotic stewardship....
Liver cirrhosis is the highest risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) worldwide. However, etiological therapy is the only option in cirrhosis patients to decrease the HCC risk. The aim of this...
Between April 2012 and April 2021, we identified 595 CPH patients in our hepatobiliary pancreatic center who were diagnosed with gastroesophageal variceal bleeding and secondary hypersplenism, and per...
According to the method of therapy, patients were divided into LSD (n = 345) and endoscopic therapy (ET; n = 250) groups. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that patients who underwent LSD had higher surv...
Considering the better postoperative survival and the ability to prevent HCC in CPH patients with gastroesophageal variceal bleeding and secondary hypersplenism, LSD is worth popularization in situati...
Three-dimensional reconstruction visualization technology (3D-RVT) is an important tool in the preoperative assessment of patients undergoing liver resection. However, it is not clear whether this tec...
A total of 3402 patients from five centers were consecutively enrolled from January 2016 to December 2020, and grouped based on the use of 3D-RVT or 2D imaging for preoperative assessment. Baseline ch...
A total of 1681 patients underwent 3D-RVT assessment before hepatectomy (3D group), while 1721 patients used 2D assessment (2D group). The PSM cohort included 892 patient pairs. In the IPTW cohort, th...
In this multicenter study, perioperative outcomes and RFS of HCC patients following 3D-RVT assessment were significantly different from those following 2D imaging assessment. Thus, 3D-RVT may be a fea...
