Background and purpose — There is growing evidence that hypoproteinemia an important risk factor for adverse events after surgery. Less known about the impact of vitamin deficiency on postoperative outcome. Therefore we evaluated prevalence malnutrition in geriatric patients undergoing elective orthopedic Patients methods In a retrospective analysis 599 who had undergone surgery 2018 2019, hypo...

BACKGROUND Comatose acute stroke patients are at high risk of malnutrition, especially hypoproteinemia. However, when to start and how to provide nutrition to these patients are unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum timing and methods of nutritional supplementation to comatose acute stroke patients.

In previous studies, we observed left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic dysfunction in association with interstitial myocardial edema (IME) induced by either coronary venous hypertension (CVH) or lymphatic obstruction. In the present study, we examined the effects of myocardial edema induced by acute hypoproteinemia (HP) on LV systolic and diastolic function. We also combined the methods ...

Hypoproteinemia is a common condition in critically ill patients, associated with the development of acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome and subsequent worse clinical outcomes. Albumin with furosemide benefits lung physiology in hypoproteinemic patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome, but the independent pharmacologic effects of these drugs are ...

cronkhite- canada syndrome (ccs) considered as a rare and non-hereditary disorder. gastrointestinal polyposis and diarrhea along with some extra signs and symptoms such as hypoproteinemia, and epidermal manifestations are recognized in this syndrome. the pathophysiology of this syndrome is not completely understood and it seems that inflammatory processes may be involved. we present a 50 year-o...

OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the predictive value for severe adverse outcome of plasma protein measurements on day one of life in very preterm infants and to compare total plasma protein levels with the validated illness severity scores CRIB, CRIB-II, SNAP-II and SNAPPE-II, regarding their predictive ability for severe adverse outcome. METHODS We analyzed a cohort of infants born at 24-3...
