Abstract
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) and innate immunity are intimately linked. Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis is a widely employed method to assess cardiac ANS activity, and changes in HRV indices may correlate with inflammatory markers. Here, we investigated whether baseline HRV predicts the innate immune response. Second, we investigated whether the magnitude of the inflammatory response correlated with HRV alterations.
Highlights
In this study we aimed to investigate the relationship between thyroid hormone abnormalities and major cardiovascular events and sudden cardiac death at 3 and 6 months after discharge in patients who were admitted to the Emergency Department with acute coronary syndrome
The aim of this study was to demonstrate the role of arginase and adenosine deaminase (ADA) in patients suffering from myocardial infarction (MI), and in a group of patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) with cardiovascular diseases (CVD)
ADA may be considered good diagnostic enzymes in patients suffering from MI, and ADA for patients with CRF with CVD
Summary
Results We studied 53 patients (42 males, mean age (SEM) 57.6 (2.8) years, illness severity scores APACHE II 21.3 (0.9); SAPS II 53.3 (2.3); SOFA 10.2 (0.2); and ICU stay 35.9 (4.8) days). Results We included 53 consecutive patients (42 males, mean age 57.6 ± 2.8 years, illness severity scores APACHE II 21.3 ± 0.9; SAPS II 53.3 ± 2.3; SOFA 10.2 ± 0.2; and mean ICU stay 35.9 ± 4.8 days) of which 25 (47.2%) had at least one US findings. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence and type of incidents related to intrahospital transport (IHT) of critically ill patients in our ICU and to identify contributing factors of these incidents. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of monotherapy with nebulized colistin on clinical and microbiological outcomes in critically ill patients with VAT due to polymyxin-only susceptible Gram-negative bacteria
