Abstract: Intensive care and critical care treatments have increased positive patient outcomes considerably over the years, and healthcare has begun to consider the lingering associated aftereffects of ICU care. While many patients may successfully survive invasive ICU treatment such as mechanical ventilation, a significant portion of these patients may develop symptoms which considerably affect their quality of life. PICS, or post-intensive care syndrome, describes the cluster of patient symptoms which may develop or persist following their survival and discharge from ICU. Cognitive impairment, mental health disorders, and physical issues stemming from increased neuromuscular....

Abstract: Background:The Genexpert MTB/Rif version 4(Xpert) and Genexpert MTB/Rif Ultra(Ultra) are cartridges used to detect mycobacterium (MTB) using the same machine.Ultra has lower limit of detection allowing detection of "traces" of MTB. The aim of this study was to carry out a comparative analysis using Ultra on clinical samples of frozen sputum previously analysed on Xpert and mycobacterium growth indicator tube (MGIT) culture. Materials and Methods:During the study 109 de-identified frozen sputum collected from 16/10/2012 to 23/08/2013 during a study on presumptive drug resistant TB patients (DRTB) patients, were analyzed on Ultra in 2019according to manufacturer's instructions....

Abstract: Neonatal asphyxia is a major health issue globally. Birth asphyxia, defined as the failure to establish breathing at birth, accounts for an estimated 900 000 deaths each year and is one of the primary causes of early neonatal mortality. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) occurs in around 1 to 6 out of every 1,000 births. HIE is defined as lack of oxygen to the brain, and without immediate treatment, infants are at risk not only of severe brain damage, but death as well. In fact, NIH states that around 15-20% of newborns who develop HIE will die. In developed countries asphyxia affects 3-5 per 1000 live births. Subsequent development of moderate to severe hypoxic-Ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) occurs in 0.5- 1 per 1000 live births, with up to 60% of these babies dying during the neonatal period.....
