[Neutropenic Fever in Lung Cancer: Clinical Aspects Related to Mortality and Antibiotic Failure].

Background And Objectives: Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer death.Patients treated with chemotherapy are at risk of developing chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia (FN), a potentially life-threatening complication.The aims of this study were (1) to characterize FN admissions of patients with LC in a pulmonology department, and (2) to determine associations between patient profiles, first-line antibiotic failure (FLAF) and mortality.

Comparison of the Intraocular Pressure Variation Provoked by Postural Change and by the Water Drinking Test in Primary Open-angle Glaucoma and Normal Patients.

Purpose: To evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP) peak and variability detected by moving the body from sitting to supine position (postural test) and by the water drinking test (WDT) in normal and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) subjects.

Patients And Methods: Prospective, cross-sectional observational analysis of 14 eyes of 14 normal subjects and 31 eyes of 31 patients with POAG. All POAG subjects were under clinical therapy.
