Background: The purpose of this study was to compare postoperative morbi-mortality and medium-term follow-up of fenestrated stent grafting and open repair (OR) for patients with juxtarenal aortic aneurysms (JRAAs).
Methods: All consecutive patients who underwent custom-made fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR) or OR for complex abdominal aortic aneurysm between 2005 and 2017 in 2 tertiary centers were scrutinized. Patients with JRAA constituted the study group.
Background: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of combined intraventricular and intravenous co-administration of colistin and tigecycline in the management of pan-drug resistant meningitis/ventriculitis.
Methods: In this case series we report 3 patients with healthcare-associated ventriculitis/meningitis caused by pan-drug resistant that were treated with combined colistin and tigecycline administration through both intraventricular and intravenous routes.
Results: All patients were administered colistin intraventricularly at a dose of 250.
Aim: To assess the performance of four novel prognostic scores on admission in predicting in-hospital mortality in patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and compare it to NEWS2 and respiratory SOFA score.
Methods: A total of 85 adult patients admitted to a tertiary hospital in Western Greece with positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR test, were enrolled and divided into the non-survivor (n = 10) and survivor (n = 75) groups. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis was conducted to determine the predictive effect of the COVID-19 Mortality Score, COVID-19 Severity Index, 4 C Mortality Score and COVID-IRS NLR.
