Is it time to call time on the scleral buckle?
O vernight, an extensive pool of subretinal fluid (SRF) disappears following the judicious application of a small plomb over a peripheral U-tear, and one can only marvel at the underlying mechanisms at play. The scleral indentation has somehow overcome the dynamic tractional forces operating in the region of the break, allowing it to close; and the ‘‘pigment epithelial pump’’ has obligingly dri...

متن کاملNeutrophil-to-Albumin Ratio as A Novel Predictor of Mortality in Patients with Sepsis
Background and Objective: Sepsis is a syndrome involving physiological, pathological, and biochemical abnormalities caused by infection. Very few studies have been performed to evaluate the prognostic value of the neutrophil-to-albumin ratio. The present study aimed to evaluate the neutrophil-to-albumin ratio in patients with sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Materials and Meth...
متن کاملExposure to the US Stroke Buckle as a risk factor for cerebrovascular mortality.
BACKGROUND For decades, the Stroke Buckle region in the southeastern USA has had a high incidence of deaths from cerebrovascular disease relative to the rest of the country. We test here the possibility that temporary exposure to the Stroke Buckle can explain some of the excessive stroke mortality there. METHODS We examined all US death records between 1979 and 1988, noting whether individual...

Sepsis and septic shock represent the thirteenth leading cause of death in the United States. It has been estimated that there are 500,000 new episodes each year, with an associated crude mortality of 35% [1]. Over the last 4 decades the age-adjusted mortality has climbed steadily from 0.5 to 7 per 100,000 episodes [2]. Approximately one-third to one-half of patients who are septic have culture...
