Predictors of deterioration of lung function in cystic fibrosis.
The severity of lung disease in cystic fibrosis (CF) may be related to the type of mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, and to environmental and immunological factors. Since pulmonary disease is the main determinant of morbidity and mortality in CF, it is important to identify factors that can explain and predict this variation. The aim of this longit...
متن کاملDiagnosis-related deterioration of lung function after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
The aim of the study was to assess lung function longitudinally after neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and to identify any effects of diagnosis and perinatal characteristics. 121 neonatal ECMO-treated children (70 with meconium aspiration syndrome, 20 congenital diaphragmatic hernia and 31 with other diagnoses) performed a total of 191 lung function measurements at 5, 8 and/...
متن کاملEarly warning scores: a sign of deterioration in patients and systems.
The early warning score system is a decision-making tool that has a simple design, yet its implementation in healthcare organisations is proving complex. This article reports the results of a survey that evaluated nurses' experiences of using the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) in an acute hospital in Ireland. Staff reported that the NEWS was easy to use, did not increase workload and enhan...
متن کاملDeterioration of Myocardial Function
Twenty-two patients underwent cardiac catheterization before and an average of five months after aorto-coronary bypass operation (ACBO). Two groups were examined: 10 patients with all grafts patent, and 12 patients with one or more grafts occluded. All patients improved symptomatically, regardless of graft patency. However, in the occluded group, left ventricular enddiastolic pressure (LVEDP) i...
متن کاملSkin autofluorescence in acute kidney injury
We were interested by the article from De Corte et al. about the poor long-term outcome after acute kidney injury (AKI) [1]. Besides initial oliguria, the three predictors for dialysis dependence were age, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease (CKD), which have previously been related to the accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) as evaluated by skin autofluorescence (sAF). sAF i...
