Abstract

To analyze in-hospital and 2-year survival of patients who require mechanical ventilation with intubation after acute respiratory failure due to exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The secondary objective was to identify the prognostic factors for in-hospital mortality and mortality at 2 years. We retrospectively studied 101 patients with suspected COPD admitted to the intensive care unit between July 1993 and December 1998. Variables potentially related to mortality were analyzed with a univariate model and by logistic regression. In-hospital survival was 74.3% and 2-year survival was 55.4%. Survival at 2 years was 81% for patients discharged from hospital. The variables associated with in-hospital mortality were age greater than 65 years, electrocardiographic diagnosis of chronic cor pulmonale, and development of multiorgan dysfunction syndrome. No factors predictive of mortality at 2 years were identified. The in-hospital survival rate for patients with an acute exacerbation of COPD who require mechanical ventilation is good and the 2-year survival rate is acceptable. Age, electrocardiographic signs of cor pulmonale, and development of multiorgan dysfunction syndrome were associated with greater ris...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
