Article Synopsis
- The study focused on hospitalized patients aged 80 and older with COVID-19 to describe their clinical symptoms and identify predictors for death and complications during different waves of the epidemic.
- A total of 1,192 patients were analyzed, revealing common symptoms like fever, cough, and dyspnea, along with serious complications such as acute respiratory distress syndrome and a high overall mortality rate of 41.4%.
- Key risk factors for complications and death included age, existing health conditions (like diabetes and heart failure), specific lab findings, while better functional status (measured by the Barthel index) and the presence of cough offered some protective benefits.
Plastic pigtail vs lumen-apposing metal stents for drainage of walled-off necrosis (PROMETHEUS study): an open-label, multicenter randomized trial.

April 2024
Background: Lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) have displaced double-pigtail plastic stents (DPS) as the standard treatment for walled-off necrosis (WON),β but evidence for exclusively using LAMS is limited. We aimed to assess whether the theoretical benefit of LAMS was superior to DPS.
Methods: This multicenter, open-label, randomized trial was carried out in 9 tertiary hospitals.
Background: Less invasive monitoring, such as radial arterial pulse contour analysis (ProAQT® sensor), represents an alternative when hemodynamic monitoring is necessary to guide postoperative management and invasive monitoring is not technically feasible. The aim of the study is to evaluate the accuracy of the ProAQT® sensor cardiac output measurements in comparison with Pulmonary Artery Catheter (PAC) during the postoperative course of patients who underwent cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
Case Presentation: Prospective observational study in a Surgical Intensive Care Unit of a tertiary university hospital.
Brain aging is accompanied by increased oxidative stress and what has been termed "neuroinflammation," which might contribute to age-related neurodegenerative diseases. We analyzed expression in the transcription of innate inflammatory response genes in eleven representative regions including frontal, parietal, inferior temporal, cingulate, occipital, entorhinal cortex, caudate, putamen, thalamus, substantia nigra, and cerebellar vermis in aging human brains. We probed members of the complement system, colony stimulating factor receptors, toll-like receptors, and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the brains of subjects with no neurological disease and neurofibrillary tangles (mean age: 47.

The aim of the study was to assess the predictive ability of FRAX for major osteoporotic fracture in a cohort of Spanish women. The study was based on a retrospective cohort of women aged 40-90 yr.

Methods: Cross-sectional study by means of a questionnaire related to the structural characteristics of hospitals that had performed gastrointestinal oncological surgery in Catalonia during 2004.
