Objectives: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly among the elderly, resulting in high rates of intensive care unit (ICU) admissions. Malnutrition is common in elderly patients and has been associated with poor prognosis in patients with COPD. However, its impact in the ICU setting remains incompletely defined.

Objectives: The COVID-19 epidemic introduced significant systems- and disease-based uncertainty into Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) rupture management. The goal of this work was to evaluate whether short-term AAA rupture outcomes during COVID-19 were comparable to pre-COVID era outcomes and to explore the impact of COVID status and COVID era healthcare systems restrictions on AAA rupture outcomes.

Methods: The Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) database was queried for all ruptured AAAs that underwent intervention from January 1, 2019 to August 31, 2022.

Blood transfusions in craniotomy for tumor resection: Incidence, risk factors, and outcomes.

J Clin Neurosci

December 2024

Section of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan. Electronic address:

Background: Blood transfusions (BT) are often needed in neurosurgical procedures, especially craniotomies for tumor resections, due to risks of anemia, ischemic brain injury, and hemorrhage. However, BT may increase the risk of perioperative complications. This study aimed to determine the incidence, associated factors, and outcomes of BT in patients undergoing craniotomy for intracranial tumor resection.

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with exacerbations which can reduce quality of life and increase mortality. Single-inhaler triple therapy (SITT) is recommended for maintenance treatment of COPD among patients experiencing exacerbations despite dual-therapy use. This real-world comparative effectiveness study compared the impact of SITTs, fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI), and budesonide/glycopyrrolate/formoterol fumarate (BUD/GLY/FORM), on COPD exacerbations and mortality.

Clinical features and prognostic risk factors of different sex with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Sci Rep

December 2024

Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Shanghai Fifth People's Hospital, Fudan University, No. 128 Ruili Road, Minghang District, Shanghai, China.

The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate the clinical characteristics and the outcomes of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) patients between different sex. We aimed to collect the first hospitalization patients who were diagnosed as AECOPD between 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2021 from the general ward and intensive care unit in the hole hospital, Shanghai the Fifth People's Hospital, Fudan University. Demographic data, initial clinical symptoms, on-admission vital signs, comorbidities, laboratory tests and imaging examination, treatment, and follow-up were compared between the two groups.
