Initial serum (1,3)-β-d-glucan as a predictor of mortality in proven candidaemia: findings from a retrospective study in two teaching hospitals in Italy and Brazil

A retrospective study of canine scapular fractures diagnosed and treated from 1988 through 1994 at four veterinary teaching hospitals was performed. Dogs (n = 105) with 109 scapular fractures were included. Most scapular fractures occurred in young (i.e., less than four years of age), male, medium- to large-breed (i.e., greater than 10 kg) dogs as the result of vehicular trauma. Concurrent injuries (primarily thoracic trauma) occurred in approximately 70% of cases. In-house follow-up evaluations were considered adequate in only 17% of the cases. A classification system that includes biomechanical principles for categorization is described to avoid discrepancies between various traditional classification systems.

Abstract Background: Respiratory infections are one of three leading causes of childhood mortality, and worldwide increase and recent plateau in childhood asthma has been reported. However, data on trends of respiratory diseases over long period of time is limited. This study aimed to determine the trends of respiratory disease outpatient visits (ROVs) and diagnoses (RODs) in one of the largest children’s teaching hospitals in China between 2009 and 2018. Methods: A retrospective study based on routine administrative data was designed and implemented according to the RECORD statement. Demographic details and diagnoses of the outpatients <18 years visiting the respiratory department of the hospital were extracted from the Hospital Information System. Age- and gender-specific trends were illustrated by calculating average annual growth rate (AAGR) for ROVs and comparing change of proportion for different RODs over time. Results: There were 698054 ROVs from 285574 children (40.4% female). AAGR of ROVs was 15.2%. Children aged 4 to < 7 years had a faster increase than other age groups. Bronchitis (27.6%), pneumonia (18.5%), pneumonia affecting other systems (18.4%), asthma and status asthmaticus (10.7%), and vasomotor and allergic rhinitis (9.2%) accounted for 84.4% of all RODs. The proportion of bronchitis decreased across years, with the concomitant increasing trend in the proportion of pneumonia. Age-specific trend in diagnoses showed greater proportion of asthma in all visits for the children aged 7 to < 18 years than younger children. Gender-specific trend in diagnoses showed the proportion of asthma was greater for males but the AAGR was greater for females. Conclusion: The persistent upward trend in ROVs was observed among children at different ages and a gender difference was also seen. In contrast to what has been reported, burden of asthma and allergies diseases continues to increase locally.

ABSTRACT:This retrospective study documents the experience of two large Canadian teaching hospitals with occlusive cerebrovascular disease in young adults. Chart review disclosed 76 patients aged 15-40 years during a recent six year period. An apparent cause, or significant coincident risk factors were found in 51 patients (67%). The most prevalent recognized causes were atherosclerosis, emboli from cardiac sources or intracranial aneurysms, and complicated migraine. Pregnancies or use of oral contraceptives were apparent coincident risk factors.

SummaryFeline combined diaphyseal radial and ulnar fractures were reviewed in a retrospective study of cases that were admitted to two university teaching hospitals. A high incidence of complications was noted, with 6/26 (23.1%) of cases requiring revision surgery. Open fractures were significantly more likely to require revision surgery. The two main repair methods were external skeletal fixation (ESF) or radial plating. The success rate was greater for radial plating, with only 1/10 (10%) cases requiring revision versus 4/14 (28.6%) for ESF. However, ESF tended to be applied to the more complicated fractures. Stabilisation of both bones proved to be an effective repair strategy with only 1/8 cases (12.5%) requiring revision versus 5/18 cases (27.8%) where only one bone was stabilised. Synostoses and radiohumeral luxation were noted as complications associated with the fractures stabilised by ESF. Final limb function following recovery was assessed as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ in 93.3% of cases.

Demographic details and diagnoses of the outpatients <18 years visiting the respiratory department of the hospital were extracted from the Hospital Information System. Age- and gender-specific trends were illustrated by calculating average annual growth rate (AGR) for ROVs and comparing change of proportion for different RODs over time. Results: There were 698054 ROVs from 285574 children (40.4% female). Average AGR of ROVs was 15.2%. Children aged 4 to < 7 years had a faster increase than other age groups. Bronchitis (27.6%), pneumonia (18.5%), pneumonia affecting other systems (18.4%), asthma and status asthmaticus (10.7%), and vasomotor and allergic rhinitis (9.2%) accounted for 84.4% of all RODs. The proportion of bronchitis decreased across years, with the concomitant increasing trend in the proportion of pneumonia. Age-specific trend in diagnoses showed the significantly increased proportion of asthma with ages, especially for the children aged 4 to < 18 years. Gender-specific trend in diagnoses showed the proportion of asthma was greater for males but the average AGR was greater for females. Conclusion: The persistent upward trend in ROVs was observed among children at different ages and a gender difference was also seen.
