1%) with good negative predictive value (NPV 71.9%, p 0.034), but not powerful enough to detect patients at risk of leak (sensibility 21.8%, PPV 63.6%). The GC perfusion speed (cm/s) after gastric vascular isolation and before tubulization showed a significant association with AL (p < 0.003). Median arterial blood pressure in the thoracic sta…[Read more]

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of early enteral nutrition (EEN) after definitive resection of anastomotic leakage (DRAL) resulting from a sigmoid colon or rectal cancer radical resection.

This was a prospective cohort study performed at our center. From January 2014 to May 2016, every patient received a standard…[Read more]

ACE2 binds the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and facilitates its cellular entry. Interferons activate ACE2 expression in pneumocytes, suggesting a critical role of cytokines in SARS-CoV-2 target cells. Viral RNA was detected in breast milk in at least seven studies, raising the possibility that ACE2 is expressed in mammary tissue during lactation. Here,…[Read more]

Impella CP support during Posterior Vein Isolation/Posterior Wall Isolation (PVI/PWI) in the setting of persistent cardiogenic shock from refractory atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response (AF/RVR), has not been reported in the literature to the best of our knowledge.

A 61-year-old male truck driver was admitted with acute…[Read more]

Our results support our prediction, suggesting there is no consistent sex difference in relative cerebellum size.

This work suggests that the potential for sex differences in relative cerebellum size has been subject to either developmental constraint or lack of consistent selection pressures, and highlights the need for more…[Read more]
