External validation of the "simplified hospital" scale as a predictor of 30-day readmission after hospitalisation in osi araba medical services.

Background: A readmission is defined as a new admission to hospital for at least one night in the 30 days following a discharge. Some are caused by events unrelated to the reason for the initial admission (unavoidable) and others caused by the same pathology (related). Different predictive models allow the identification of patients at higher risk of readmission.

Multinary light absorbing semiconductor nanocrystals with diversified electronic and optical properties.

We report multinary CuZnAS Se semiconductor nanocrystals in a wurtzite phase, achieved hot-injection synthesis. These nanocrystals exhibit a tunable bandgap and photoluminescence in the visible range. We employ density functional theory and virtual crystal approximation to reveal the bandgap trends influenced by the main group metals and S/Se alloying.

Use of a gas-operated ventilator as a noninvasive bridging respiratory therapy in critically Ill COVID-19 patients in a middle-income country.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a notable undersupply of respiratory support devices, especially in low- and middle-income countries. As a result, many hospitals turned to alternative respiratory therapies, including the use of gas-operated ventilators (GOV). The aim of this study was to describe the use of GOV as a noninvasive bridging respiratory therapy in critically ill COVID-19 patients and to compare clinical outcomes achieved with this device to conventional respiratory therapies.

Thrombotic risk and features of patients with inferior vena cava agenesis: a multicentre, retrospective, observational study.

Background: Inferior vena cava agenesis (IVCA) is a rare anomaly predisposing affected people to lower-limb venous thrombosis with low frequency of pulmonary embolism. Antenatal thrombosis and inherited thrombophilia have been suggested as causes of IVCA. However, there is little evidence on the clinical course and management of this condition.
