Outcomes after pneumonectomy versus limited lung resection in adults with traumatic lung injury. [PDF]
Pneumonectomy after traumatic lung injury (TLI) is associated with shock, increased pulmonary vascular resistance, and eventual right ventricular failure. Historically, trauma pneumonectomy (TP) mortality rates ranged between 53 and 100%.

Natural History of Chronic Kidney Disease in Sickle Cell Disease
ABSTRACT Kidney complications, referred to as nephropathy, develop early in sickle cell disease (SCD). In addition to its known morbidity, abundant data show that chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an increased mortality risk in SCD. Increasing evidence suggests that the natural history of SCD nephropathy is progressive. Initial glomerular

Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury: What the Allied Health Professional Needs to Know about this Life -Threatening Hazard of Blood Transfusion [PDF]
Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI) is a rare, life-threatening hazard of blood transfusion. In the intensive care unit, 37% to 44% of admitted patients are transfused with at least one blood component.

Crotalus atrox venom preconditioning increases plasma fibrinogen and reduces perioperative hemorrhage in a rat model of surgical brain injury. [PDF]
Perioperative bleeding is a potentially devastating complication in neurosurgical patients, and plasma fibrinogen concentration has been identified as a potential modifiable risk factor for perioperative bleeding.

Aim Clinically, interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a heterogeneous group of respiratory disorders. Due to their low incidence, pharmacovigilance database analysis is useful to detect them. Precise diagnosis is challenging as well as coding in these databases. Query criteria are among the key elements for a good signal detection.

Outcomes of Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction
ABSTRACT Background Patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) were excluded from major trials of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). Aim The objective of this study was to describe this population and evaluate outcomes after LAAO in patients with and without HFrEF.

Rituximab induced pulmonary edema managed with extracorporeal life support [PDF]
Though rare, rituximab has been reported to induce severe pulmonary edema. We describe the first report of ECLS utilization for this indication. A 31-year-old female with severe thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura developed florid pulmonary edema after ...
