Abstract Background Sarcoidosis is rarely associated with a distinct disease. One disease infrequently associated with sarcoidosis is psoriasis. Case presentation This case study describes a 38-year-old male, who presented with chest pain, high-grade fever, arthralgias and a skin rash accompanied by bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy on his chest radiograph. Extensive investigations including fiber-optic bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage and labial and skin biopsies, demonstrated that two distinct ...

A common problem for the clinician in an outpatient clinic is to distinguish a drug eruption from a viral exanthem in a child. The aim of this study was to describe the common drug eruptions seen in children with ENT infections, suggesting an approach to this problem.We studied the cases of ENT patients aged 15-years-old and below, with the clinical diagnosis of cutaneous adverse reactions. Main variables in the assessment of drug etiology in skin eruptions were previous experience with the drug ...

'E-government' is an extremely interesting research field, with numerous academic and practical implications. Its empirical investigation gives rise for significant observations, since the existing international literature offers several research gaps. The aim of the present study is twofold: (a) to develop an original conceptual framework (research model) examining the factors that have an impact on the intention to use of e-government services, (b) to empirically test that framework, using primary ...

Kounis syndrome is the concurrence of acute coronary syndromes with conditions associated with activation of interacting inflammatory cells including allergic or hypersensitivity and anaphylactic or anaphylactoid insults. It is caused via inflammatory mediators released during inflammatory cell activation. A variety of conditions, drugs, and environmental exposures can induce Kounis syndrome. A patient suffering from coronary artery disease and taking metoprolol and aspirin was stung by wasps and ...

To evaluate the effectiveness of a quality initiative in reducing central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) in our neonatal intensive care unit, we designed a prospective study (January 2012-September 2013) estimating CLABSI incidence before and after our implementation. CLABSI rates were significantly decreased after our intervention, from 12 cases per 1,000 central vascular catheter (CVC) days during the preinterventional period to 3.4 cases per 1,000 CVC days during the postinterventional ...

Antibiotics are the most frequently prescribed drugs in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) due to the severity of complications accompanying neonatal sepsis. However, antimicrobial drugs are often used inappropriately due to the difficulties in diagnosing sepsis in the neonatal population. The reckless use of antibiotics leads to the development of resistant strains, rendering multidrug-resistant pathogens a serious problem in NICUs and a global threat to public health. The aim of this narrative ...

Flash floods are common manifestations of extreme weather events and one of the most severe natural hazards. In Europe, they have been responsible for 359 fatalities and an economic loss totalling 67 million USD in the past decade (EM-DAT), while their increasing severity is linked to climate change. Nevertheless, flash floods remain a poorly documented natural phenomenon due to the lack of flow intensity data in many of the affected watersheds. Based on a thorough field investigation, including ...

Chorioamnionitis and fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS) are significant risk factors for early onset sepsis (EOS). Recently, the use "Intrauterine Inflammation or Infection or both" or triple I has been proposed, classifying cases into an isolated maternal fever, suspected triple I, or confirmed chorioamnionitis. Evidence suggests that the association between suspected chorioamnionitis and confirmed histological chorioamnionitis (HCA) is not consistent, as well as the impact of HCA on the development ...

Abstract Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is considered a rescue therapy in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) with increased intracranial pressure (ICP). In this retrospective study, we examined the impact of craniectomy on ICP in children with severe TBI and their neurological outcome. A total of 14 patients were enrolled. Peak ICP was significantly lower (31 ± 2.9 to 19 ± 4.6, p < 0.001) and minimum cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) higher (41 ± 10.5 to 58 ± 11.4, p < 0.001) postcraniectomy. The survival ...

Data regarding the nutritional management of preterm small for gestational age (SGA) infants are scarce. In the recent report of ESPGHAN, the recommended energy for very preterm infants during hospitalization has been increased, yet this may not fit the needs of all preterm infants. It is important to distinguish fetal growth-restricted (FGR) infants from constitutional SGA infants, as well as preterm SGA from preterm AGA infants, since they may have different nutritional needs.
