Mashup Score: 8
Background High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) is increasingly used in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. It is uncertain whether a broadened Berlin definition of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), in which ARDS can be diagnosed in patients who are not receiving ventilation, results in similar groups of patients receiving HFNO as in patients receiving ventilation. Methods We…

Mashup Score: 5A rare case of hepatic ectopic pregnancy - Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine - 10 month(s) ago
Background Hepatic pregnancy is an uncommon ectopic site of gestational sac implantation. Clinical signs and symptoms simulate digestive or hepatobiliary diseases, making this a less common clinical diagnosis. Delay in diagnosis increases the risk of rupture and life threatening torrential hemorrhage. Detailed abdomino-pelvic ultrasound confirms the diagnosis, and MRI along with CT angiography…

Mashup Score: 1
Background To report the technique and outcome of ultrasound-guided percutaneous access to the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) for balloon-assisted portal vein recanalization–transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (PVR-TIPS) in a patient with chronic portal venous and splenic vein occlusion. Case presentation A 51-year-old, non-cirrhotic patient with severe portal hypertension was admitted…

Mashup Score: 10
In patients with septic shock, the administration of fluids during initial hemodynamic resuscitation remains a major therapeutic challenge. We are faced with many open questions regarding the type, dose and timing of intravenous fluid administration. There are only four major indications for intravenous fluid administration: aside from resuscitation, intravenous fluids have many other uses…

Mashup Score: 72Intravenous fluid therapy in patients with severe acute pancreatitis admitted to the intensive care unit: a narrative review - Annals of Intensive Care - 11 month(s) ago
Patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) often require ICU admission, especially when signs of multiorgan failure are present, a condition that defines AP as severe. This disease is characterized by a massive pancreatic release of pro-inflammatory cytokines that causes a systemic inflammatory response syndrome and a profound intravascular fluid loss. This leads to a mixed hypovolemic and…

Mashup Score: 58How to improve the efficiency and the safety of real-time ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization in 2023: a narrative review - Annals of Intensive Care - 11 month(s) ago
Central venous catheterization (CVC) is a frequent procedure, practiced by intensivists, anesthesiologists and advanced practice nurses in intensive care units and operative rooms. To reduce CVC-associated morbidity, it is essential to strive for best practices, based on the latest evidence. This narrative review aims to synthesize current knowledge on evidence-based best practices for CVC that…

Mashup Score: 28Ultrasound-guided peripheral venous cannulation in critically ill patients: a practical guideline - The Ultrasound Journal - 12 month(s) ago
Background Up to one-third of critically ill patients have difficult intravenous access (DIVA). This occurs often in obese patients, those with generalized edemas or in patients with previous venous cannulations. In DIVA patients, the conventional technique often fails. In contrast, ultrasound-guided cannulation has demonstrated a high success rate, improving patient satisfaction and even a…

Mashup Score: 2Physiological Responses and Adaptations to Lower Load Resistance Training: Implications for Health and Performance - Sports Medicine - Open - 12 month(s) ago
Resistance training is a method of enhancing strength, gait speed, mobility, and health. However, the external load required to induce these benefits is a contentious issue. A growing body of evidence suggests that when lower load resistance training [i.e., loads < 50% of one-repetition maximum (1RM)] is completed within close proximity to concentric failure, it can serve as an effective...

Mashup Score: 3Femoral vein pulsatility: a simple tool for venous congestion assessment - The Ultrasound Journal - 12 month(s) ago
Background Femoral vein Doppler (FVD) is simpler than the VExUS score which is a multimodal scoring system based on combination of IVC diameter, hepatic venous Doppler, portal vein pulsatility and renal vein Doppler, may be useful in assessing right ventricular overload and signs of venous congestion. There is limited data on the relationship between FVD and VExUS score. Results Adult…

Mashup Score: 8
Background Immediate function has become an accepted treatment modality for fixed restorations in completely edentulous jaws. It is known that implant microtopography (surface) may enhance osseointegration, while implant macrotopography (macrodesign) plays an important role in primary stability in the patient requiring an immediate loading. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the…
