Background: We aimed to investigate the incidence of new acute myocardial infarction (AMI), in patients with Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) who had old MI. We hypothesized that COVID-19 increases the rate of repeated AMI in this population regardless of age and gender.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted for adult patients admitted with COVID-19 and developed thromboembolic event (TEE) in 2020.
Introduction: This is a structured scoping review to assess whether there is a relationship between stress-induced hyperglycemia (SIH), cytokine interactions, and mortality in trauma patients in comparison to non-diabetic normoglycemia [NDN], diabetic normoglycemia [DN], and diabetic hyperglycemia [DH].
Methods: We conducted a literature search of MEDLINE (PubMed) databases from 2000 to 2022 using a search strategy to identify observational studies. Initially, 2879 articles were retrieved.
Article Synopsis
- Trauma during pregnancy significantly increases the risk of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes, with a study analyzing 566 pregnant women revealing a 12.9% rate of such outcomes.* -
- The study found that motor vehicle collisions were the leading cause of trauma, and factors like hypertension, diabetes, placental abruption, and prior C-sections heightened the risks for pregnancy complications.* -
- Researchers emphasize the need for careful monitoring of pregnant women who experience trauma and call for further studies and public health campaigns to improve awareness and preventive measures.*
This is an interim analysis of the Beta-blocker (Propranolol) use in traumatic brain injury (TBI) based on the high-sensitive troponin status (BBTBBT) study. The BBTBBT is an ongoing double-blind placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial with a target sample size of 771 patients with TBI. We sought, after attaining 50% of the sample size, to explore the impact of early administration of beta-blockers (BBs) on the adrenergic surge, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and the TBI biomarkers linked to the status of high-sensitivity troponin T (HsTnT).

SAE improves patient outcomes, salvages the spleen, and averts complications associated with splenectomy. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the failure rate and complications related to SAE in patients with BSI.
