The “Incubation Period” of Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis

In an attempt to gain information about the "incubation period" of subacute bacterial endocarditis, the literature was searched for case reports stating a specific interval between an event likely to cause bacteremia and the onset of symptoms. In 76 cases of streptococcal endocarditis for which this information was given, the median "incubation period" was one week. Symptoms began within two we...

Initiation of the Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist Mode in the Neonatal Period in Iran

Abstract: The new neonatal ventilation methods have been developed along with utilization of new technological tools.This device is synchronized with the patient’s respiratory efforts. The ideal synchronized breath needs to be synchronous with initiation, size, and termination of the breath without delay in detecting of initial resiratory effort by device .The synchrony of respiration contribut...
