(1) Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common but under-investigated complication in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We aimed to define the incidence and clinical course, as well as the predictors of AKI in adults receiving ECMO support. (2) Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of all patien...
Objective:
Current standards for conducting spirometry examinations recommend that the ventilation manoeuvres needed in pulmonary function testing are carried out repeatedly during the sessions. Chest electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can determine the presence of ventilation heterogeneity during such manoeuvres which increases the information...
In der Intensivmedizin erleben wir rasante technische Fortschritte, die in vielen Fällen vorteilhaft für unsere Patienten sind. Auf der anderen Seite werden aber auch Stimmen laut, die generell einen zunehmenden „Interventionalismus“ kritisieren. In dieses Spannungsfeld fließen zusätzlich entscheidende Fragen nach Sinnhaftigkeit, Qualität, ethische...
Purpose:
The primary contact for German physicians with national quality assurance in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is frequently experienced as time-consuming obligatory documentation. Since the regular feedback loop stretches up to 18 months, the immediate impact on quality is perceived as rather low. Ultimately, a method leading to increas...
Die Cytomegalievirus(CMV)-Pneumonie ist eine schwere Erkrankung des immunsupprimierten Patienten. Insbesondere in der Transplantationsmedizin muss das CMV als Verursacher ernster Komplikationen berücksichtigt werden. Die Diagnostik ist nicht trivial, weil Symptomatik und Erstbefunde unspezifisch und wenig suggestiv sind. Differenzialdiagnosen, wie...
Background
Pulmonary function is not routinely assessed in patients without respiratory disease and symptoms before surgery, even if they are smokers. We aimed to check whether the new spirometric reference values of the worldwide Global Lung Initiative (GLI) affected the preoperative assessment of lung function in allegedly lung‐healthy patients c...
Limbic encephalitis is commonly regarded as an autoimmune-mediated
disease. However, after the recent detection
of zoonotic variegated squirrel bornavirus 1 in a Prevost’s
squirrel (Callosciurus prevostii) in a zoo in northern
Germany, we retrospectively investigated a fatal case in
an autoantibody-seronegative animal caretaker who had
worked at th...
Supplementary results for study of case of occupation-associated fatal limbic encephalitis caused by variegated squirrel bornavirus 1, Germany, 2013.
Eosinophilia presents a challenge to differential diagnostics due to the multitude of possible causes. An initial difficulty is often to distinguish between threatening disease symptoms and relatively harmless secondary reactions. A highly dynamic clinical progression with severe impairment of the vital functions, like breathing, for example, can m...
The utility of open lung biopsy (OLB) in mechanically ventilated patients with acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) of unknown origin has been questioned because of its potentially low diagnostic yield and possibly related morbidity. To quantify possible benefits and risks, and especially so for bedside lung biopsy,...
