S3-Leitlinie „Einsatz der intraaortalen Ballongegenpulsation in der Herzchirurgie“

2015

Although intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) is the most frequently used mechanical cardiac assist device in cardiothoracic surgery, there are only guidelines for substantive sections of aortic counterpulsation including prophylactic and postoperative use. In contrast, evidence-based recommendations are still lacking concerning intraoperative use, management, contraindication and other relevant issues. According to international surveys, important aspects of IABP usage show a wide variation in clinical practice. The results of a national questionnaire performed before initiation of this guideline confirmed these findings and demonstrated a clear need for the development of a consensus-based…

The Burden of Rhinitis and Rhinoconjunctivitis in Adolescents

2014

Purpose Rhinitis and conjunctivitis are common diseases worldwide that are frequently associated. Nevertheless, the risk factors for rhinoconjunctivitis are not well-described and the impact of conjunctivitis on rhinitis and asthma in children remains unknown. This study explored the different risk factors and evaluated the burden of rhinoconjunctivitis among adolescents. Methods This was a cross-sectional study conducted on a random sample of schoolchildren, aged 10-17 years, using skin prick tests and a self-administered questionnaire on respiratory health investigating the impact of rhinitis and rhinoconjunctivitis on daily activities. Results A complete evaluation was obtained for 2,150…

Toxicidad pulmonar por talidomida

2002

Although the side effects of thalidomide are well known, lung toxicity has not been reported. We describe the case of a 65-year-old man with multiple myeloma (IgG kappa) in stage IA who, on the thirty-seventh day of treatment with thalidomide, developed acute coughing, general malaise, dyspnea at rest and sudoresis. Blood pressure was 90/60 mm Hg and temperature was normal. An interstitial and alveolar pattern was visible on the right side of a chest film and arterial blood gases indicated partial respiratory insufficiency (pH 7.40, PaCO2 40 mmHg, PaO2 47 mmHg). Blood analysis showed alterations expected for multiple myeloma and microbiology was negative (sputum and blood cultures and urina…
