Background/objectives: Development and validation of a multivariate prediction model for patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) admitted in Intensive Care Units (ICU).
Methods: A prospective multicenter observational study, in 1 year period, in 46 international ICUs (EPAMI study).
Patients: adults admitted to an ICU with AP and at least one organ failure.
Objectives: Urologists daily evaluate many women with voiding disturbances, but proper physical examination has only rarely been previously performed.
Case Description: Case 1: 16-year-old woman presenting augmented daytime urinary frequency and nocturia without enuresis, with drop-by-drop micturition. Case 2: 80-year-old woman with urgency.
Objectives: To assess the accuracy of plasma levels of soluble Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells (sTREM)-1 to diagnose infection in critical patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).
Design And Methods: We prospectively studied 114 patients with SIRS criteria. The patients' plasma levels of sTREM-1 were measured within 24h of admission to the intensive care unit.
Background: We report a rare case of horses-hoe kidney trauma.
Methods: 67 years old man with a horseshoe kidney, which presented a fracture of the isthmus after falling.
Results: The diagnosis was made by IV contrast CT scan.
Objectives: To determine whether treatment with phyto-oestrogens or soya protein succeeds in lowering blood pressure.
Design: A systematic review, evaluating all the observation studies and clinical trials, was conducted, followed by a meta-analysis to evaluate blood pressure variations in patients treated with phyto-oestrogens. SEARCH: The search strategy adopted used the terms "phyto-oestrogens," "soya meals," "hypertension," and "blood pressure.
