PURPOSE: The postanesthesia care unit (PACU) is an indispensable part of modern medicine which provides critical care to patients to ensure safe and smooth emergence from anesthesia. The adverse events in the PACU have been widely investigated in adults. However, little is known about the adverse events in pediatric populations. This study was designed to investigate adverse events, including the incidence, disease spectrum, and possible risk factors, in pediatric patients in the PACU at a tertiary pediatric hospital...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine whether polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was associated with age at menopause, compared with women without PCOS, after adjusting for potential confounders. METHODS: A total of 1,696 reproductive-aged participants from the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study were included in this population-based prospective study with a follow-up of approximately 20 years. Of these, 348 women with PCOS based on the Rotterdam criteria and 1,348 non-PCOS controls were followed to assess the age at which they reached menopause...

BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a prevalent and consequential complication in hip fracture patients, leading to significant disability and heightened healthcare expenditures. Consequently, there is a critical need for a comprehensive systematic review to identify risk factors and establish early and effective preventive measures.

To compare fluidized positioners and gel pads for skin protection in neurosurgery patients placed in lateral and prone positions. It is one of the major challenges that operating room nurses face in protecting the skin during the long duration of neurosurgery. Currently, there are increasing tools available to protect the skin under pressure, and various tools practice well in the clinic. Fluidized positioners are newly emerging protective pads that have been clinically effective in protecting the skin, but no studies have compared them to previous pads...

BACKGROUND: Bilateral transverse venous sinus stenosis (TVSS) or stenosis of a dominant venous sinus has been found to be very sensitive radiological findings in patients with intracranial hypertension (IH), yet there is still an ongoing debate whether they constitute reversible or permanent phenomena. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the reversibility of TVSS in patients with IH, including conservatively treated patients with signs of IH as defined by the presence of papilledema...

BACKGROUND: Sepsis is a severe complication that results in increased morbidity and mortality after intestinal obstruction surgery. This study examined the role of preoperative systemic immune inflammation index (SII) for postoperative sepsis in intestinal obstruction patients. METHODS: Data on patients who underwent intestinal obstruction surgery were collected. SII was determined and separated into two groups (≤1792.19 and >1792.19) according to the optimal cut-off value of SII for postoperative sepsis...

Accumulating evidence shows that renal fibrosis plays a key role in the development of hypertensive nephropathy (HTN). Therefore, a better understanding of the underlying mechanism of renal fibrosis regulation in HTN would be critical for designing rational strategies for therapeutic interventions. In this study, we revealed that GPR97, a novel identified adhesion G coupled receptor, plays an important role in the regulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, which is the crucial driver of renal fibrosis in HTN...

BACKGROUND: Severe asthma is associated with high morbidity, mortality, and health care utilization, but its burden in Africa is unknown. OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine the burden (prevalence, mortality, and activity and work impairment) of severe asthma in 3 countries in East Africa: Uganda, Kenya, and Ethiopia. METHODS: Using the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society case definition of severe asthma, we analyzed for the prevalence of severe asthma (requiring Global Initiative for Asthma [GINA] steps 4-5 asthma medications for the previous year to achieve control) and severe refractory asthma (remains uncontrolled despite treatment with GINA steps 4-5 asthma medications) in a cohort of 1086 asthma patients who had been in care for 12 months and had received all GINA-recommended medications...

INTRODUCTION: The optimal pre-participation screening strategy to identify athletes at risk for exercise-induced cardiovascular events is unknown. We therefore aimed to compare the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and European Society of Cardiology (ESC) pre-participation screening strategies against extensive cardiovascular evaluations in identifying high-risk individuals among 35-50-year-old apparently healthy men. METHODS: We applied ACSM and ESC pre-participation screenings to 25 men participating in a study on first-time marathon running...

OBJECTIVES: Postoperative delirium (POD) is considered to be a common complication of spine surgery. Although many studies have reported the risk factors associated with POD, the results remain unclear. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to identify risk factors for POD among patients following spinal surgery. METHODS: We systematically searched the PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library for relevant articles published from 2006 to February 1, 2023 that reported risk factors associated with the incidence of POD among patients undergoing spinal surgery...

Air pollution and traffic noise are two important environmental risk factors that endanger health in urban societies and often act together as "partners in crime". Although air pollution and noise often co-occur in urban environments, they have typically been studied separately, with numerous studies documenting consistent effects of individual exposure on blood pressure. In the following review article, we examine the epidemiology of air pollution and noise, especially regarding the cardiovascular risk factor arterial hypertension and the underlying pathophysiology...

A primigravida woman in her 30s with severe pulmonary hypertension, tricuspid regurgitation and depressed right ventricular function presented for therapeutic termination of pregnancy at 7 weeks gestation after referral and multidisciplinary recommendation. A slowly titrated lumbar epidural was chosen for the primary anaesthetic. Under standard American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) monitoring, invasive blood pressure monitoring and continuous transthoracic echocardiography, the patient's right ventricular systolic function was monitored throughout the case using qualitative and quantitative metrics and was notable for a right ventricular systolic pressure of 102...

Aging is associated with chronic, low-level inflammation which may contribute to cardiovascular pathologies such as hypertension and atherosclerosis. This chronic inflammation may be opposed by endogenous mechanisms to limit inflammation, for example, by the actions of annexin A1 (ANXA1), an endogenous glucocorticoid-regulated protein that has anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving activity. We hypothesized the pro-resolving mediator ANXA1 protects against age-induced changes in blood pressure (BP), cardiovascular structure and function, and cardiac senescence...

Introduction There is scarce data about the association of metabolic syndrome (MetS) or its components with the development of colonic diverticulosis (CD) in the elderly. We aim to determine the association of MetS and its components with CD in the elderly aged ≥75 years. Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review at St. Luke's University Health Network to identify patients who underwent a colonoscopy between 2011 and 2020. We collected data on patient demographics, comorbidities, and colonoscopy findings...
