Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the link between ventilatory settings on the first day of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and patient mortality in the ICU due to severe acute respiratory infection (SARI).
- A total of 441 patients were included, and while overall mortality rates were noted, specific ventilatory settings like tidal volume and respiratory rate were not linked to increased death risk.
- Higher driving pressure, plateau pressure, and positive end-expiratory pressure were found to be significant factors associated with a higher risk of in-hospital death, particularly in patients suffering from hypoxemia or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Introduction: The objective of this study was to assess the presence of voids in mesial root canals of mandibular molar teeth obturated by using the single-cone (SC) and continuous wave of condensation (CWC) obturation techniques, and results were analyzed by using micro-computed tomography.
Methods: Twenty-four mandibular molars with fully developed roots and mesial root curvature ranging from 25° to 35° were instrumented by using Reciproc R25 files, and then they were obturated by using the SC and CWC techniques. Specimens were scanned before and after obturation for micro-computed tomography analysis (voxel size, 17.
Objectives: This study evaluated the antimicrobial efficacy of ozone therapy in teeth contaminated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis, and Staphylococcus aureus using a mono-species biofilm model. Parallel to this, the study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxicity of ozone for human gingival fibroblasts. Material and Methods: One hundred and eighty single-root teeth were contaminated with a mono-species biofilm of Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPatients with gastrointestinal cancer and malnutrition are less likely to tolerate major surgical procedures, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. In general, they display a higher incidence of complications such as infection, dehiscence and sepsis, which increases the length of stay and risk of death, and reduces quality of life. The aim of this review is to discuss the pros and cons of different points of view to assess nutritional risk in patients with gastrointestinal tract (GIT) tumors and their viability, considering the current understanding and screening approaches in the field.
