Delirium screening in the emergency department: evaluation and intervention.

Background: Between 8-17% of older adults, and up to 40% of those arriving from nursing homes, present with delirium upon admission to the Emergency Department (ED). However, this condition often remains undiagnosed by ED medical staff. We investigated the prevalence of delirium among patients aged 65 and older admitted to the ED and assessed the impact of a prospective study aimed at increasing awareness.

Efficacy of Micronized Purified Flavonoid Fraction in the Posthemorrhoidectomy Period Trial: Open-Label Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Frequent early postoperative complications of hemorrhoidectomy are thrombosis and edema of mucocutaneous "bridges."

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of micronized purified flavonoid fraction in preventing complications after elective hemorrhoidectomy.

Design: Prospective unicentral open-label randomized controlled trial.

Thrombosed external hemorrhoids during pregnancy: surgery versus conservative treatment.

The management of thrombosed external hemorrhoids (TEH) during pregnancy is still under debate because of the fear of potential adverse effects on the fetus. This study aims to compare efficacy and safety of conservative versus surgical treatment of acute TEH in pregnant women. Furthermore, the outcome of two different surgical approaches was evaluated.

The Effect of Different Numerical Approaches on the Accuracy of Calculating Relaxation Spectra for Polysaccharides.

For polymeric materials, the relaxation spectrum contains complete information about the time-dependent part of the material response. The contribution of different numerical schemes, i.e.

[Toxoplasmosis in the practice of a neurologist].

Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic protozoal disease characterized by a chronic course, polymorphism of clinical manifestations, predominant damage to the central nervous system, organs of vision, liver and lungs. The causative agent of the disease is the obligate intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which circulates widely in the external environment and has a large circle of intermediate hosts. Toxoplasmosis is classified by the method of infection (congenital or acquired), by pathogenesis (acute or chronic), by manifestation (latent or with the manifestation of symptoms).
