Objectives: To assess, among medical students, the willingness to donate their own organs or those of a family member, and to establish reasons for refusal.
Materials And Methods: During the 2016 academic year, an anonymous survey was conducted among University of Buenos Aires School of Medicine second-year students.
Results: Of the total 1012 respondents, 81.
Article Synopsis
- Vasoactive agents combined with endoscopic treatment for esophageal variceal bleeding (EVB) were studied for their effectiveness based on patient's severity at admission.
- The research involved 247 patients treated between 2001 and 2011, comparing outcomes between standard endoscopic treatment and combined endoscopic plus octreotide treatment across different patient groups.
- Results showed that those receiving combined treatment experienced significantly less initial hemostatic failure and rebleeding, particularly in severe cases (Child C class) and those with active bleeding, although overall mortality rates were similar across both treatment methods.
Background: The knowledge of mortality predictors and evolutive variables linked with in-hospital death can help us to optimize corrective procedures.
Objectives: To identify independent predictors of in-hospital mortality and survival, and independent evolutive links with death in patients with generalized secondary peritonitis (GSP).
Methods: Two hundred and forty-two patients admitted into the hospital due to GSP were followed until in-hospital death or hospital discharge.
Objective: To identify clinical warning signs and independent predictors of survival in mediastinitis related to esophagogastric diseases and injuries.
Methods: From March 1998 to February 2009, 36 patients with a mean age of 55.7 +/- 12.
Unlabelled: Upper gastrointestinal variceal bleeding is one of the most serious complications in patients with chronic liver disease. The aim of this trial is to identify in hospital mortality predictors in this illness.
Material And Methods: 106 hospitalizations due to this disease from October 2001 to April 2006 in cohort design.
