Validation and Comparison of the Appendicitis Inflammatory Response Score and Adult Appendicitis...
Acute AppendicitisAcute Appendicitis With RuptureAcute appendicitis is one of the most frequent reasons of emergency laparotomy in adults. Symptoms of acute appendicitis overlap with other clinical conditions and might present as a challenge, especially in the early phases. Despite the advances and widespread use of imaging modalities, still negative laparotomies are performed with the initial diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Several scoring systems are developed by using various clinical and laboratory parameters in order to improve the diagnostic accuracy and prevent unnecessary laparotomies.
Epidemiology of Chronic Bronchitis in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)...
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary DiseaseChronic BronchitisThe purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of chronic bronchitis in patients suffering from moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and to assess the difference in exacerbation rates in patients suffering from moderate to very severe COPD with chronic bronchitis vs. a population of patients without chronic bronchitis.
Outcome Study to Evaluate Klaricid XL® (Clarithromycin Modified Release) in Patients With Acute...
BronchitisThe objective of this study was to evaluate the role of Klaricid XL (clarithromycin modified release) in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis (AECB) and its impact on improving the quality of life.
Impact of CT on Diagnosis of Acute Appendicitis
Acute AppendicitisThe purpose of this study is to determine whether computed tomography is reliable investigation in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis.
Optimizing the Diagnosis of Acute Appendicitis
Acute AppendicitisAim of the study: to identify the signs of acute appendicitis delta signs - clinical, laboratory or ultrasound signs, whose change (delta) would allow to identify or deny the diagnosis of acute appendicitis without a computed tomography examination and thus to lower computed tomography rates.
Origin of CEC in Patients After Allo-HSCT
Graft Versus Host DiseaseAcute2 moreWe believe that CEC, besides coming from cells shedding from patient vasculature, could partly belong to donor, originating from the cellular graft.
The Performance of the APPY1 Test in the Evaluation of Possible Acute Appendicitis
Acute AppendicitisThis study will consist of a brief interaction with the subject or parent or guardian to obtain consent, collect a blood sample, medical history, and physical examination of those who meet the inclusion criteria. The blood sample will be tested for the WBC value, as well as processed into plasma in order to compute the APPY1 Test result, which is based on a combination of the WBC value and the plasma MRP 8/14 and CRP concentrations received from the APPY1 Test cassette. There will be a 2-week (14 days +/- 3) follow-up telephone call for those subjects that were discharged from the ED without an appendectomy or diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Use of the APPY1 Test to help identify low risk patients could significantly reduce the use of CT scans in diagnosis of AA, thereby reducing the exposure to ionizing radiation in children, adolescents, and young adults.
Gut Microbiota in Intestinal Barrier Damage in Acute Leukemia Patients Undergoing Inpatient Induction...
Chemotherapy-Induced Gut Barrier DamageAcute LeukemiaThis is an observational study to collect stool, blood, and urine from acute leukemia patients undergoing induction chemotherapy in order to generate preliminary data regarding the association between microbiota and chemotherapy-induced gut barrier damage. This study consists of inpatient collections of blood, urine, and stool while the patients are undergoing inpatient induction therapy. Patients will not be scheduled for any additional procedures or testing beyond what is required for clinical care.
Variation in Acute Appendicitis During COVID-19 Pandemic in Italy
Acute Appendicitisretrospective observational study of variation in incidence and clinical presentation of appendicitis during the pandemic in northern Italy, compared with the same period in the previous 2 years.
Imaging Silent Brain Infarct And Thrombosis in Acute Myocardial Infarction
Myocardial InfarctionAcute Disease3 moreThis project aims to assess the ability of cardiac imaging (cardiac MRI and Doppler-echocardiography) post-processing tools to predict a combined end-point of intraventricular thrombosis, silent brain infarcts, clinical stroke and peripheral arterial embolism in patients with first acute myocardial infarction and ventricular dysfunction.
