Autoimmune Cytopenia: Genetics and Pathophysiological Mechanism in Pediatric Evans Syndrome
Evans SyndromeCharacterization of the genetic causes, and of the immunopathological clinical and biological manifestations in children with pediatric Evans syndrome included in a prospective national observational cohort of rare diseases.
Comparison of the PaO2/FiO2 Ratio to Other Oxygenation Indexes for the Classification of Severity...
Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeIn mechanically ventilated patients the PaO2/FiO2 ratio might not be the best reflection of the severity of ARDS. It does not incorporate variables and settings used during mechanical ventilatory support such as the positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP), inspiratory time to expiratory time ratio (Ti:Te), and the peak alveolar pressure (Palv). The aim is to identify a new oxygenation index for stratification of severity of ARDS
Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome With Concomitant Transient Global Amnesia
Transient Global AmnesiaReversible Vasoconstriction SyndromeReversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is characterized by severe, unusual headaches associated with multifocal segmental vasoconstriction of the intracerebral arteries. In addition to headache, focal neurological deficit and/or seizures are quite frequently described, but anterograde amnesia seems to but extremely rare. Indeed, to date, only one case of RCVS associated with transient global amnesia (TGA) has been published. In case of an atypical presentation of TG, associated with brutal headaches, it is important not to ignore an assocation with RCVS because management, treatment, evolution and prognosis are different. Indeed, TGA is a monophasic phenomenon of less than 24 hours duration, without associated complications, which does not require any particular treatment. On the other hand, RCVS, although most often of excellent prognosis, can have severe complications such as intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome and cerebral infarction. In order to limit headaches and potential complications, RCVS require special management, including symptomatic treatments for headaches, complete rest, removal of precipitin factors and introduction of calcium channel blockers for a few weeks. This study aim to described three cases of patient who presented with concomitant TGA and RCVS, and to discuss pathogenic mechanism which may be similar in both these pathologies.
Prediction of Outcomes With a Miniaturized Transesophageal Echocardiography Probe in Patients With...
Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeThe Superior Vena cava Respiratory Collapse Index (cVCS) is a haemodynamic parameter measured exclusively by transoesophageal ultrasound (TEE), which is used to assess cardiac precharge-dependence status. This may be an important prognostic factor in ARDS because it is a sign of hypervolemia and right heart failure.

Acute Coronary SyndromePatients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention after diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome should be enrolled in the study and follow - up.
T1D, Metabolic Syndrome and Insulin Resistance
Type 1 DiabetesMetabolic Syndrome1 morePatients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and metabolic syndrome (MS) require high doses of insulin to achieve a glycemic control, due to insulin resistance (IR). The investigators identified the presence of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in patients with T1D in a population of southeast Mexico. The sampled population was recruited from the Diabetes Clinic of the Regional Hospital of High Specialty "Dr. Gustavo A. Rovirosa Pérez"; from August 2021 to February 2022, graduated physicians interviewed patients previously diagnosed with T1D. This study included patients older than 18 years and at least six months after being diagnosed with T1D. The interviewers excluded patients who did not attend regular consultations and those who did not agree to participate or to give a blood sample. A diabetologist evaluated and diagnosed all patients based on the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. Fasting glucose, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triacylglycerols were determined in blood serum using a Clinical Chemistry System from Random Access Diagnostics. The reasearch team determined glycated hemoglobin concentrations by an enzymatic immunoassay method.
Mean Platelet Volume and Its Relation to Risk Stratification of Myelodysplastic Syndromes
Myelodysplastic SyndromesThe myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of myeloid neoplasms characterized by abnormal differentiation and maturation of myeloid cells, reduced bone marrow (BM) function, and a genetic instability with enhanced risk to transform to secondary acute myeloid leukemia, AML
The Relationship of Cervical Sagittal Parameters With Pain and Disability in Cervical Myofascial...
Myofascial Pain SyndromeNeck Pain1 moreParticipants between the ages of 18-64 who were diagnosed with cervical myofascial pain syndrome will be included in the study. cervical sagittal parameters, numerical pain rating scale, Bournemouth neck questionnaire and cervical range of motion will be measured and evaluated.
Investigation of Cardiopulmonary Parameters, Motor Development and Muscle Strength in DS With and...
Congenital Heart DefectsDown Syndrome1 moreCongenital heart diseases (CHD) are detected in 40-60% of individuals with Down syndrome (DS) and increase the risk of developmental delay in the presence of syndromes. The aim of the study was to compare cardiopulmonary parameters, gross motor development and hand grip strength in DS children with and without CHD. Demographic variables, cardiopulmonary parameters and echocardiographic values were recorded. Gross motor development was evaluated with Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88). Hand grip strength was measured with the Baseline Pneumatic Bulb Dynamometer.
