Immune disturbance leads to pulmonary embolism in COVID-19 more than classical risk factors: a clinical and histological study.

COVID-19 induces endotheliitis and one of the main complications is enhanced coagulation. The incidence of pulmonary embolism (PE) in COVID-19 (CPE) has increased and clinical features for a rigorous analysis still need to be determined. Thus, we evaluated the clinical characteristics in CPE and the immune infiltration that occurred.

Cardiovascular Risk Score and Pulmonary Gas Exchange in COVID-19 Patients Show No Correlation.

Background: COVID-19 induces robust systemic inflammation. Patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) are at an increased risk of death. However, much effort is being spent to identify possible predictors of negative outcomes in order to have a more specific clinical setting.

Pulmonary Embolism in COVID-19 Patients Is Not Related to a Deterioration of Tissue Oxygenation.

Background: COVID-19 induces robust systemic inflammation. One of the main complications is the increased coagulation due to endotheliitis. There is an increased incidence of pulmonary embolism (PE) in COVID-19 patients.

Evaluation of Intraoperative End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide Change Relates to Length Hospitalisation in Peridiaphragmatic Surgery: A Pilot Study.

Unlabelled: Intraoperative evaluation is deeply changed using many new tools, both invasive and non-invasive. Peripheral oxygen saturation percentage (SpO) is the more reliable method for a non-invasive monitoring of patient's blood oxygen concentration. Capnography (using end-tidal CO (EtCO) evaluation is an immediate and continuous non-invasive monitoring of carbon dioxide (CO) in the breathing that provides important information on circulatory status and ventilation.

A New Score to Assess the Perioperative Period of the Cancer Patient Undergoing Non-Palliative Elective Surgery: A Retrospective Evaluation of a Case Report by PERIDIA Score.

The complexity of cancer patients and the use of advanced and demolitive surgical techniques frequently need post-operatory ICU hospitalization. To increase safety and to select the best medical strategies for the patient, a multidisciplinary team has performed a new peri-operatory assessment, arising from evidence-based literature data. Verifying that most of the cancer patients, admitted to the intensive care unit, undergo major surgery with localizations in the supramesocolic thoraco-abdominal area, the team focused the attention on supramesocolic peridiaphragmatic cancer surgery.

Imaging Evaluation of Pulmonary and Non-Ischaemic Cardiovascular Manifestations of COVID-19.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been a pandemic challenge for the last year. Cardiovascular disease is the most described comorbidity in COVID-19 patients, and it is related to the disease severity and progression. COVID-19 induces direct damage on cardiovascular system, leading to arrhythmias and myocarditis, and indirect damage due to endothelial dysfunction and systemic inflammation with a high inflammatory burden.

Long-term evolution of the electrical stimulation for cochlear implant adult patients. The role of a progressive adaptation method.

In clinical experience patients who do not frequently check the cochlear implant (CI) maps have poor auditory performance and poor acceptance of map variations over time. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of CI map optimization on both speech perception and subjective hearing in a group of CI patients with a long-standing map. 14 patients (6 females and 8 males; age range 16-77, mean age 45.

First Report of Pseudomonas Grapevine Bunch Rot Caused by pv. .

pv. , a Gammaproteobacterium belonging to genomospecies 2 within the complex, is distributed worldwide, and it is responsible for bacterial canker on >100 different hosts, including the grapevine. pv.

Draft Genome Sequence of the Xylella fastidiosa CoDiRO Strain.

We determined the draft genome sequence of the Xylella fastidiosa CoDiRO strain, which has been isolated from olive plants in southern Italy (Apulia). It is associated with olive quick decline syndrome (OQDS) and characterized by extensive scorching and desiccation of leaves and twigs.
