Non-invasive predictors to grade esophageal varices in liver cirrhosis patients [PDF]

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care
ABSTRACT Background: Portal hypertension commonly occurs due to liver cirrhosis, and esophageal varices (EV) is one of the major complications associated with it. The most common cause of death in liver cirrhosis is EV bleeding.

Fibrinogen alpha and beta chains as non-invasive predictors of hepatocellular carcinoma progression [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) poses a significant global health burden due to its high incidence and mortality rates. Early diagnosis is crucial for improving patient outcomes; however, current diagnostic methods, such as the measurement of α-fetoprotein (AFP) levels, have notable limitations.

From sleep apnea to arrhythmia: p-wave parameters as non-invasive predictors [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundNumerous studies have confirmed a significant association between obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and both the increased prevalence and incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF). This study advanced the endpoint event to complex atrial arrhythmias, a group that potentially develops into AF.

Predictors of Non Invasive Ventilation Failure in Respiratory Intensive Care [PDF]

TP55. TP055 MECHANICAL VENTILATION, ICU MANAGEMENT, AND CV, 2021
Abstract Introduction Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is commonly conducted respiratory support in acute respiratoryfailure setting. NIV is used to prevent and lower the need for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) to avoid IMV complications; however, still researches are needed to identify the ideal patient for non-invasive ventilation.

Predictors of Outcome of Non–Muscle-Invasive and Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer

The Scientific World Journal, 2011
Bladder cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. At initial diagnosis, 75% of patients present with non—muscle-invasive disease and 25% of patients have muscle-invasive or metastatic disease.Patients with noninvasive disease suffer from a high

Non-invasive markers of airway inflammation as predictors of oral steroid responsiveness in asthma [PDF]

Thorax, 2000
Sputum eosinophil counts and exhaled nitric oxide (NO) levels are increased in asthma and both measurements fall in response to corticosteroids.Exhaled NO levels and sputum eosinophil counts were assessed as non-invasive markers of the response to an oral steroid in 37 patients (19 women) with stable chronic asthma (mean (SD) age 48.6 (12.2) years ...

Significance of Non-Invasive Markers as Predictor of Esophageal Varices in Liver Cirrhosis

Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2017
Introduction: Upper gastro-intestinal endoscopy remains the gold standard for screening for esophageal varices but it has its own limitations. It is an invasive, expensive and uncomfortable procedure and needs clinical expertise. Accordingly, this study was conducted to establish the role of non-invasive markers for prediction of esophageal varices in ...

Clinical outcomes of moderate to severe COVID-19 patients receiving invasive vs. non-invasive ventilation

Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine, 2021
Objective: To evaluate the in-hospital outcome of moderate to severe COVID-19 patients admitted in High Dependency Unit (HDU) in relation to invasive vs. non-invasive mode of ventilation. Methods: In this study, the patients required either non-invasive [

Breast Lesions Diagnosed as Ductal Carcinoma In Situ by Ultrasound-Guided Core Needle Biopsy: Risk Predictors for Concomitant Invasive Carcinoma and Axillary Lymph Node Metastasis

Frontiers in Oncology, 2021
BackgroundThe major concern over preoperatively diagnosed ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of breast via ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy (US-CNB) is the risk of missing concomitant invasive carcinoma.
