Pneumonia severity scores in resource poor settingsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 30-37 - 2014
Jamie Rylance, Peter Waitt
Clinical prognostc scores are increasingly used to streamline care in well-resourced setngs. The potental benefts of identfying patents at risk of clinical deterioraton and poor outcome, delivering appropriate higher level clinical care, and increasing efciency are clear. In this focused review, we examine the use and applicability of severity scores applied to patents with community acquired pneu...... hiện toàn bộ
Promoting the use of social networks in pneumoniaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 12 - Trang 1-7 - 2020

Pneumonia is a serious health concern, but it does not attract the attention it warrants. Perhaps this is due to a lack of understanding of the real extent of this infectious disease in the general population. A literature review was performed to assess the role of social networks as a means to raise awareness over pneumonia worldwide and increase its visibility. In 2017, approximately 800,000 chi...... hiện toàn bộ

In most cases of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), an etiologic agent is not determined; the most common report from the microbiological evaluation of sputum cites “normal respiratory flora.” Non-diphtheria Corynebacterium spp., a component of this flora, is commonly viewed as a contaminant, but it may be the cause of pneumonia and the frequency with which it causes CAP may be underestimated.

Oxygen is a World Health Organisation listed essential drug yet provision of oxygen in developing countries often fails to meet demand. The aim of this study was to evaluate the need for supplementary oxygen against oxygen delivery capacity at a large teaching hospital in Malawi. A cross-sectional study of all adult medical inpatients and assessment of oxygen provision over a 24-hour period was co...... hiện toàn bộ
