Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a rare yet serious postoperative complication for lung transplant recipients (LTRs). The association between timing and severity of PE and the development of chronic allograft lung dysfunction (CLAD) has not been described.
Methods: A single-center, retrospective cohort analysis of first LTRs included bilateral or single lung transplants and excluded multiorgan transplants and retransplants.
Study Question: Does ovarian stimulation with the addition of tamoxifen or letrozole affect the number of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) retrieved compared to standard ovarian stimulation in women with breast cancer who undergo fertility preservation?
Summary Answer: Alternative ovarian stimulation protocols with tamoxifen or letrozole did not affect the number of COCs retrieved at follicle aspiration in women with breast cancer.
What Is Known Already: Alternative ovarian stimulation protocols have been introduced for women with breast cancer who opt for fertility preservation by means of banking of oocytes or embryos. How these ovarian stimulation protocols compare to standard ovarian stimulation in terms of COC yield is unknown.
Article Synopsis
- The Saudi Critical Care Society (SCCS) formed an expert panel to create evidence-based guidelines for managing COVID-19 in ICUs due to rising case numbers.
- This panel of 51 specialists reviewed current research and clinical trials, focusing on 9 key questions regarding treatment options for severe COVID-19.
- They produced 12 recommendations on various pharmacological treatments, with 3 classified as strong recommendations and 9 as weak, emphasizing ongoing updates as new evidence arises.
Background: Interleukin-6 receptor antagonists (IL-6RAs) and steroids are emerging immunomodulatory therapies for severe and critical coronavirus disease (COVID-19). In this preliminary report, we aim to describe the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of adult critically ill COVID-19 patients, requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (iMV), and receiving IL-6RA and steroids therapy over the last 11 months.
Materials And Methods: International, multicenter, cohort study derived from Viral Infection and Respiratory Illness University Study registry and conducted through Discovery Network, Society of Critical Care Medicine.
