World's Largest Resource for Cardiovascular Perfusion
This study was undertaken to (1) determine the incidence of SCIP outliers in patients receiving a continuous insulin infusion (CII) targeted to maintain perioperative serum glucose levels less than 180 mg/dL after cardiac surgery, (2) identify the profile of patients who are SCIP outliers, (3) determine whether SCIP outliers have increased morbidity and mortality, and (4) identify more relevant benchmarks for glycemic control in patients having cardiac surgery.
We provided remdesivir on a compassionate-use basis to patients hospitalized with Covid-19, the illness caused by infection with SARS-CoV-2.
The results of this study showed that pre-operative melatonin administration could modify inflammatory cytokines secretion such as IL-6 while it has no significant effect on the serum levels of IL-9. Neither of the changes was clinically significant.
