Burden of disease attributable to second-hand smoke exposure: a systematic review
(Elsevier, 2019-12)
Our aim was to provide a systematic review of studies on the burden of disease due to second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure, reviewing methods, exposure assessment, diseases causally linked to SHS, health ...
Effect of diacutaneous fibrolysis on the muscular properties of gastrocnemius muscle
(Public Library of Science, 2020)
Diacutaneous fibrolysis is a noninvasive technique that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders such as shoulder pain, lateral epicondylalgia, patellofemoral pain ...
Eradication of hepatitis C virus and non-liver-related non–acquired immune deficiency syndrome–related events in human immunodeficiency virus/hepatitis C virus coinfection
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2017)
We assessed non-liver-related non–acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related (NLR-NAR) events and mortalityin a cohort of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV)–coinfected ...
High-flow nasal cannula to prevent postextubation respiratory failure in high-risk non-hypercapnic patients: a randomized multicenter trial
(Springer Nature, 2017-05-02)
Background: Extubation failure is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, but cannot be safely predicted or avoided. High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) prevents postextubation respiratory failure ...
Red blood cell distribution width as a prognostic factor of mortality in elderly patients firstly hospitalized due to heart failure
(Medycyna Praktyczna, 2019-04-29)
Background: Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a risk factor related to adverse outcome in patients with heart failure (HF). Less is known about its role in patients in their first hospitalization ...
