Background: Sex identification of human skeleton is essential for bioarcheological and forensic studies. Determination of Sex is important to establish personal identity. Sex identification accurately depends on the presence of complete remains. Aim: This study aimed to estimate sex from measurements of sacrum and coccyx by computed tomography (CT) of Libyan population. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in Radiological center of Aljala Hospital of Benghazi and Benghazi Medical Center, Libya on 120 subjects who were divided into 60 males and 60 females. Sex was deter

Background: Prospective, trial-based data comparing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients surviving out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) through extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) or conventional CPR (CCPR) are scarce. We aimed to determine HRQoL during 1-year after refractory OHCA in patients treated with ECPR and CCPR. Methods: We present a secondary analysis of the multicenter INCEPTION-trial, which studied the effectiveness of ECPR versus CCPR in patients with refractory OHCA. HRQoL was prospectively assessed using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire. Poor HRQoL was p

Introduction: Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is known as the most important cause of sudden drop in platelet count among children. The acute form of unexpected drop in platelet count in children calls for treatment with medications such as corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), and Rho(D) immunoglobulin (anti-DIG). Most of the previous studies have accordingly compared short-term therapeutic outcomes of steroids with those of IVIg. In some cases, IVIg has led to better results. However, there are few studies on the long-term treatment effects of both medicine categories. Ob

Aim: To determine if an untrained cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) Coach, with no access to real-time CPR feedback technology, improves CPR quality. Methods: This was a prospective randomized pilot study at a tertiary care children's hospital that aimed to integrate an untrained CPR Coach into resuscitation teams during simulated pediatric cardiac arrest. Simulation events were randomized to two arms: control (no CPR Coach) or intervention (CPR Coach). Simulations were run by pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) providers and video recorded. Scenarios focused on full cardiopulmonary arrest;

Abstract: The 2017 revision of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification includes substantial changes to the subclassification of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML): (1) a 3-tiered blast-based scheme including a novel “CMML-0” category replacing a 2-tiered system in place since 2001 and (2) 2 CMML subtypes, myelodysplastic (MDS-CMML) and myeloproliferative (MP-CMML), based on a white blood cell count cutoff of 13 × 109/L. The clinical utility of this subclassification scheme, particularly the expansion of blast-based subgroups, has not been validated. In this study, a large single

Background: Socioeconomic status (SES) is a well-established determinant of cardiovascular health. However, the relationship between SES and clinical outcomes in long-term out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is less well-understood. The Singapore Housing Index (SHI) is a validated building-level SES indicator. We investigated whether SES as measured by SHI is associated with long-term OHCA survival in Singapore. Methods: We conducted an open cohort study with linked data from the Singapore Pan-Asian Resuscitation Outcomes Study (PAROS), and the Singapore Registry of Births and Deaths (SRBD)
