Background: While COVID-19 vaccination has been shown to reduce the risk of severe illness, its impact on the occurrence of persistent symptoms in patients with mild Omicron infection remains uncertain. Our objective was to investigate whether COVID-19 vaccination reduces the occurrence of persistent COVID-19-related symptoms 3 months after mild Omicron infection.
Methods: Multicenter prospective cohort study was conducted in Brazil between January 2022 and June 2023 when Omicron was predominant.
Long-term effects of flexible visitation in the intensive care unit on family members' mental health: 12-month results from a randomized clinical trial.
Intensive Care Med
October 2024
Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of flexible intensive care unit (ICU) visitation on the 1-year prevalence of post-traumatic stress, anxiety and depression symptoms among family members of critically ill patients.
Methods: This is a long-term outcome analysis of a cluster-crossover randomized clinical trial that evaluated a flexible visitation model in the ICU (12 h/day) compared to a restrictive visitation model (median 1.5 h/day) in 36 Brazilian ICUs.
Impact on pulmonary, cardiac, and renal function and long-term quality of life after hospitalization for acute respiratory distress syndrome due to COVID-19: Protocol of the Post-COVID Brazil 3 study.
Crit Care Sci
June 2024
Rationale: Evidence about long-term sequelae after hospitalization for acute respiratory distress syndrome due to COVID-19 is still scarce.
Purpose: To evaluate changes in pulmonary, cardiac, and renal function and in quality of life after hospitalization for acute respiratory distress syndrome secondary to COVID-19.
Methods: This will be a multicenter case-control study of 220 participants.
Article Synopsis
- Accurate knowledge of vessel anatomy is crucial for facial reconstructive surgery, and advanced ultrasound technology has improved evaluation of these structures.
- The study aimed to identify new landmarks for the facial vein using high-resolution ultrasound and to assess its effectiveness for the facial artery and vein.
- Results showed that the facial vein consistently followed a predictable path relative to the mandibular-orbital line, making high-resolution ultrasound a valuable tool for pre-operative assessments of facial vessels.
Severe chronic rhinosinusitis treated with dupilumab, a real-life analysis of early effectiveness.
Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci
August 2023
Objective: The present study evaluated the safety and efficacy of dupilumab in severe uncontrolled type 2 chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).
Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of adult patients affected by severe CRSwNP treated with dupilumab. Maxillofacial computed tomography, evaluation of blood eosinophils and serum IgE levels, measurement of nasal polyp score (NPS), smell identification test (SSIT-16), sinonasal outcome test-22 (SNOT-22) and asthma control test (ACT) were performed.
