High-Flow Nasal Cannula Outcomes in COVID-19-Associated Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure: Illness Severity, Awake Prone Positioning, and Risk of Intubation in a Single-Center ICU Cohort

Background and Objectives: High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is widely used in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, yet predictors of successful noninvasive support and the role of awake prone positioning remain incompletely defined, and observational analyses are vulnerable to immo...

Limited Incremental Value of Six Haemogram-Derived Inflammatory Indices for Detecting Endometrial Carcinoma and Intraepithelial Neoplasia in Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: A Case–Control Study

Background/Objectives: Haemogram-derived inflammatory indices are proposed as inexpensive markers of endometrial neoplasia, but almost all supporting evidence is prognostic, from women already known to have carcinoma. We compared six indices head-to-head and asked whether any imp...

Early on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting after clinically stable non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction with recent clopidogrel exposure versus elective surgery: a propensity score-matched cohort study

Optimal timing of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) after non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and perioperative management of recent clopidogrel exposure remain related but distinct clinical issues. We compared a selected, clinically stable NSTEMI early-C...

Early changes in left ventricular mass index after empagliflozin initiation in type 2 diabetes: a retrospective cohort study

Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) promote reverse cardiac remodeling; however, evidence regarding very early changes in left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in patients with type 2 diabetes without established cardiovascular disease remains limited. We evaluated 3-...

Ab Externo Transscleral Removal of Submacular Proliferative Bands in Pediatric Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment with PVR: A Surgical Technique Case Series

Purpose: To describe an ab externo surgical technique for submacular band removal in pediatric patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). Methods: Ten eyes of 10 pediatric patients diagnosed with RRD and PVR grade C...

Surgical outcomes of constrictive pericarditis and exploratory associations with inflammatory features: a 17-year single-center experience

Constrictive pericarditis (CP) remains a challenging disease with evolving etiological patterns and increasing emphasis on phenotype-based management. Pericardiectomy is the definitive treatment for CP. However, contemporary data on the etiological spectrum and the clinical relev...

Factors associated with mortality in Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia: the role of infectious diseases consultation

This study aimed to determine the predictors of 14th and 28th day mortality in Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia and to evaluate the risk factors of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Our study, designed as a single-center retrospective observational study, included adult pat...

High 28-day mortality in resistant gram-negative bloodstream infections in the ICU: retrospective cohort study

Hospital-acquired bloodstream infections (BSI) caused by carbapenem-resistant and difficult-to-treat resistant (DTR) Gram-negative bacteria are a global threat associated with high mortality in (ICUs). The aim of this study was to evaluate 28-day mortality, independent risk facto...

Visual outcomes and etiologic distribution of neuroretinitis: a 12-year retrospective study from a tertiary eye center

Neuroretinitis (NR) is a distinct optic neuropathy characterized by optic disc edema and macular exudates. Whether visual prognosis differs among etiologic subgroups remains unclear. This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the demographic characteristics, etiologic distribut...
