Published: October 2011

This study evaluated inflammatory, coagulation and microvascular responses to a continuous 24-h work day in 13 healthy intensive care physicians. Inflammatory markers (interleukin [IL]-2, IL-6, IL-10, tumour necrosis factor-α, matrix metalloproteinase [MMP]-9 and adiponectin), adhesion molecules (vascular cellular adhesion molecule-1 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 [ICAM-1]), coagulation parameters (thrombin-anti thrombin, von Willebrand factor and tissue factor) and sublingual micro circulation were assessed before and after a 24-h work shift. The 24-h work shift had no effect on inflammatory markers and ICAM-1. Direct visualization of micro-circulation did not reveal stress-related perfusion abnormalities. A 24-h work shift in the intensive care unit was associated with significantly increased plasma levels of tissue factor - a potentially important mechanism linking acute job strain, haemostasis and atherosclerosis. The long-term consequences warrant further evaluation.

Purpose: Vertebral body tethering (VBT) is a non-fusion surgical option for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) that requires a postoperative (PO) chest tube. This study evaluates whether 48 h of PO TXA reduces chest tube (CT) drainage and retention compared to 24 h of TXA following VBT for AIS.

Methods: Consecutively treated patients with a diagnosis of AIS who underwent VBT were assessed.

Background: Breakfast, often considered the most important meal of the day, affects both physical and mental health. While most studies focused on the effects of skipping breakfast on depression, few explored the roles of breakfast quality and breakfast time. The study aimed to investigate the association of breakfast habits and breakfast quality with depression.

Scorpion venom research aims to develop treatments for dangerous species and identify candidates for new drugs. The extraction of high-quality venom, which is essential, requires mastery of the extraction and maintenance of scorpions. It is in this perspective that we have undertaken this present work which aims to contribute to scientifically mastering venom yields and the factors that influence them in scorpions.

Dynamics of troponins and 30-day mortality in hospitalized patients with pulmonary embolism.

Thromb Res

January 2025

Department of Cardiology, The Heart Centre, Copenhagen University Hospital Rigshospitalet, Denmark; Department of Data, Biostatistics and Pharmacoepidemiology, Centre for Clinical Research and Prevention, Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospital, Denmark.

Background: In patients with pulmonary embolism (PE), the impact of repeated troponin I or T (TnI/TnT) measurements remains unclear.

Methods: Using Danish national registries, we identified PE patients (≥18 years) hospitalized between 2013 and 2018 with initial TnI or TnT measurement within -1/+1 day from admission and >1 repeated measurement within three days. Trajectories of TnI and TnT were identified using latent class trajectory modeling.
