The future of chemical pleurodesis: A review of novel and investigational sclerosant agents
Am J Med Sci. 2024 Apr 24:S0002-9629(24)01168-6. doi: 10.1016/j.amjms.2024.04.008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChemical pleurodesis is a technique in which an injurious and inflammatory substance is instilled into the pleural cavity to cause adhesion and fibrosis. It is commonly used in the management of recurrent malignant pleural effusions. Historically, many different types of sclerosants have been described, though only a few, including talc, the tetracycline derivatives, and anti-septic compounds such as silver nitrate and iodopovidone, have found their way into mainstream use. However, over the past several years, ...

Association of coagulation function with the risk of in-hospital mortality in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome
CONCLUSION: Poor coagulation function was associated with increased risk of in-hospital mortality in ARDS patients. The findings implied that clinicians should regularly detect the levels of coagulation-associated biomarkers for the management of ARDS patients.PMID:38636652 | DOI:10.1016/j.amjms.2024.04.012 (Source: The American Journal of the Medical Sciences)

The Role of Blood Testing in Prevention, Diagnosis, and Management of Chronic Diseases: A Review
Am J Med Sci. 2024 Apr 16:S0002-9629(24)01169-8. doi: 10.1016/j.amjms.2024.04.009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBlood tests are vital to prevention, diagnosis, and management of chronic diseases. Despite this, it can be challenging to construct a comprehensive view of the clinical importance of blood testing because relevant literature is typically fragmented across different disease areas and patient populations. This lack of collated evidence can also make it difficult for primary care providers to adhere to best practices for blood testing across different diseases and guidelines. Thus, this review article synthesizes ...

Peripheral biomarkers as a predictor of poor prognosis in severe cases of COVID-19
Am J Med Sci. 2024 Apr 16:S0002-9629(24)01171-6. doi: 10.1016/j.amjms.2024.04.011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe evaluated glycemia and triglyceride, hepatic, muscular, and renal damage markers, redox profile, and leptin and ghrelin hormone levels of COVID-19 patients. We also realized statistical analysis to verify the potential of biomarkers to predict poor prognosis and the correlation between them in severe cases. We assessed glycemia and the levels of triglycerides, hepatic, muscular, and renal markers in automatized biochemical analyzer. The leptin and ghrelin hormones were assessed by the ELISA assay. Severe case...
