Abstract

The negative effect of cirrhosis on mortality following traumatic injury has been quantified in multiple observational studies. However, to our knowledge, the information contained in these studies has never been synthesized. The aims of this study were: (1) to determine the magnitude of the effect of liver cirrhosis on mortality, morbidity, and hospital course among trauma patients and (2) to analyze sources of study heterogeneity that may lead to differing estimates in the observed mortality rate among patients with cirrhosis. A systematic search of EMBASE and PubMed was conducted. Data were extracted from eligible studies and analyzed using a random-effects model to compare trauma outcomes in cirrhotic and noncirrhotic patients (PROSPERO Registration CRD42018088464). Mortality was the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included complication rate, length of hospital stay, length of intensive care unit stay, and mechanical ventilation days. Title and abstract review of 15,958 articles led to the identification of 31 relevant articles. Ultimately, 18 observational studies were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled effect sizes for mortality (odds ratio [OR], 4.52; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.13-6.54) and complication ...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.
