BACKGROUND: Pneumonia is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in young children. Early reversal of severity signs--chest indrawing, hypoxia, and tachypnoea--improves outcome. We postulated that zinc, an acute phase reactant, would shorten duration of severe pneumonia and time in hospital....
Patients in the probiotic group had greater loss in body weight (mean difference: −1.35 kg, p = 0.0029), and BMI (mean difference: −0.48 kg/m2, p = 0.0024) than the placebo group (Table2). Total fat mass (kg) (mean difference: −1.25 kg, p = 0.002...
As such, it provides several important observations: the phenomenon of double positivity is common, these patients experience the early morbidity and mortality typical of anti-GBM disease, and they carry the long-term risk of relapse typical of AAV. Patients who are double positive accounted for ...
One patient died due to the development of severe Covid-19 pneumonia who was in the ivermectin arm, but it was not considered related to ivermectin. Table 3 WHO clinical progression scale Full size table Fig. 2 Progression of symptoms including possible adverse effects in the two groups (...
OBJECTIVE: To determine the safety and efficacy of filgrastim (r-metHuG-CSF) in combination with intravenous antibiotics to reduce the rate of mortality in patients with pneumonia and sepsis. DESIGN: This study was multicenter, double-blind, and randomized. SETTING: Intensive care units PATIENTS Ad...

In the two antibiotic trials, the incidence of extrapancreatic infections (eg, bacteraemia, pneumonia) and pancreatic infection remained high.7, 8 Consequently, there is a clear need for other strategies to prevent infectious complications in patients with acute pancreatitis. Probiotics, as an ...
Although mass vaccination has reduced the severity of COVID-19, mortality is still high among hospitalized patients. Being a sepsis-like disease, an anti-inflammatory drug as atorvastatin would reduce mortality and severity in COVID-19. Methods We designed a randomized clinical trial that recruited...
Treatment failure and excess mortality were observed when sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim was used concomitantly with leucovorin for the treatment of HIV positive patients with P. jirovecii pneumonia in a randomized placebo-controlled trial.4 Avoid co-administration of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim and...
