Evaluation of Nutrition Risk and Its Association With Mortality Risk in Severely and Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients

Most patients, especially critically ill patients, had significant changes in nutrition-related parameters and inflammatory markers. Critically ill patients and those with higher nutrition risk had a higher risk of mortality and longer stay in hospital. Only 84 of 342 patients with high nutrition risk received nutrition support.

Clinical impact of molecular point-of-care testing for suspected COVID-19 in hospital (COV-19POC): a prospective, interventional, non-randomised, controlled study

In hospitals, these delays lead to poor patient flow and nosocomial transmission. Rapid, accurate tests are urgently needed in preparation for the next wave of the pandemic. We did a prospective, interventional, non-randomized, controlled study of molecular point-of-care testing in patients with suspected COVID-19 at Southampton General Hospital.

Effect of SARS-CoV-2 antibody screening on participants' attitudes and behaviour: a study of industry workers in Split, Croatia

The study looked at attitudes and behavior before and after negative serological test results for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies. Participants perceived the disease as a severe health threat and acknowledged that the protective measures were appropriate.

High-definition endoscopy with i-Scan for evaluation of small colon polyps: the HiSCOPE study

Traditional white-light endoscopy cannot reliably distinguish between small adenomatous and hyperplastic colon polyps. HDWL endoscope and i-Scan may improve in vitro characterization of small colon polyps.

Variability in cecal intubation rate by calculation method: a call for standardization of key performance indicators in endoscopy

The cecal intubation rate (CIR) is a widely accepted key performance indicator (KPI) in colonoscopy but lacks a universal calculation method. We assessed whether differences in CIR calculation methods could have an impact on perceived trainee outcomes.

A randomized controlled trial comparing the accuracy of general diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy performed by nurse or medical endoscopists

Rising demand for. general diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in the UK is outgrowing the capacity of doctors. provide this service within a reasonable time.

Diagnostic contribution of cytological specimens obtained from biopsies during gastrointestinal endoscopy in dogs and cats

The study compared cytological samples from endoscopic biopsies using "imprint" and "squash" techniques. The same diagnosis was obtained with the squash technique in 65% of the cases. Cytology was considered complementary to histology for gastric spiral organisms and mast cells.

Diagnostic Performance of Magnifying Endoscopy for Helicobacter pylori Infection: A Meta-Analysis

The pooled sensitivity and specificity of magnifying endoscopy to predict Helicobacter pylori infection were 0.89 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.87-0.91] and 0.82 (95%CI 0.79- 0.85), respectively, with an AUC of 0.9461.
