Rationale and evidence on the use of tocilizumab in COVID-19: a systematic review
2020
Abstract Background Tocilizumab is an IL-6 receptor-blocking agent proposed for the treatment of severe COVID-19. The aim of this systematic review was to describe the rationale for the use of tocilizumab for the treatment of COVID-19 and to summarize the available evidence regarding its efficacy and safety. Methods MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, pre-print repositories (bioRxiv and medRxiv) and two trial Registries were searched for studies on the use of tocilizumab in COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 infection, viral pneumonia, and/or sepsis until 20th June 2020. Results We identified 3 indirect pre-clinical studies and 28 clinical studies including 5776 patients with COVID-19 (13 with a comparison group,…
Džeknaifa empīriskās ticamības metodes izmantošana ticamības intervālu konstruēšanai laukumam zem ROC līknes
2015
Mūsdienās arvien lielāku popularitāti gūst neparametriskās statistikas metodes. Viena no šādām plaši izmantotajām metodēm ir empīriskās ticamības metode (EL). To kombinējot ar džeknaifa pseido vērtībām, iegūst džeknaifa empīrisko ticamības metodi (JEL). Šī darba mērķis ir pētīt JEL metodes izmantošanas iespējas normalizēto parciālo laukumu zem ROC līknes (AUC) novērtēšanā. Izmantojot šo metodi, tika konstruēti ticamības intervāli gan vienam normalizētajam parciālajam AUC, gan laukumu starpībai. Darba gaitā tika veiktas arī simulācijas, kas parādīja, ka džeknaifa empīriskās ticamības metode strādā ievērojami labāk par normālās aproksimācijas metodi, kā arī tika apskatīts metodes pielietojums…
Prevalence and Risk Factors Associated with Use of QT-Prolonging Drugs in Hospitalized Older People
2016
Aims: The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of the prescription of QT-prolonging drugs at hospital admission and discharge and the risk factors associated with their use in older people (aged 65 years and older). Methods: Data were obtained from the REPOSI (REgistro POliterapie SIMI [Società Italiana di Medicina Interna]) registry, which enrolled 4035 patients in 2008 (n = 1332), 2010 (n = 1380), and 2012 (n = 1323). Multivariable logistic regression was performed to determine the risk factors independently associated with QT-prolonging drug use. QT-prolonging drugs were classified by the risk of Torsades de Pointes (TdP) (definite, possible, or conditional) acc…
Uso delle eparine a basso peso molecolare in chirurgia generale e d'urgenza
L’Eparina è un mucopolisaccaride estratto da alcuni organi quali il polmone, fegato e mucosa intestinale e si lega alla superficie delle cellule endoteliali. La sua attività biologica richiede la presenza di un cofattore plasmatico ad attività inibitrice proteasica [Antitrombina III], che inibisce i fattori proteasici della coagulazione formando con essi complessi stabili equimolari. In assenza di eparina, tali reazioni sono lente, mentre al contrario sono accelerate di quasi 1000 volte. Le molecole di Eparina sono altamente attive e si legano fortemente all’Antitrombina, determinando alterazioni conformazionali dell’inibitore: tali modifiche espongono il suo sito attivo per una più rapida …
Džekknaifa metodes pielietojums Kaplāna-Meiera integrālim
2020
Cenzētu izdzīvošanas datu vidējā izdzīvošanas ilguma novērtēšanai literatūrā atrodamas vairākas metodes. Darbā aplūkota Džekknaifa metode Kaplāna-Meiera integrālim, Kaplāna-Meiera novērtētājs izdzīvošanas datiem, B.Efrona pieeja vidējā izdzīvošanas ilguma noteikšanai cenzētiem datiem, kā arī apskatīta datorprogrammas RStudio pieejamā pakotne jackknifeKME. Apskatīti dažādu novērtētāju rezultāti vidējam izdzīvošanas ilgumam simulētiem datiem un reālu datu piemēriem.
Revaluation of the clinical and metabolic behavior of GHD children during GH treatment according to newly proposed note 39 of the Italian Medicines A…
2015
Background The newly proposed note 39 of the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) revisited the diagnostic criteria of growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in children and, applying it, a percentage of children previously diagnosed as GHD may have received a wrong diagnosis and a unnecessary treatment, with potential clinical implications. Aim To evaluate the clinical and metabolic behavior of GH-treated children according to the new criteria of GHD diagnosis. Subjects and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical and metabolic data of 310 prepubertal children (220 M, 90 F, age 10.8 ± 2.9 yrs) with short stature admitted to our section of Endocrinology during the years 2005-2014, having at least …
