Pathophysiology and Classification of Respiratory Failure
Respiratory failure is a condition in which the respiratory system fails in one or both of its gas exchange functions. It is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients admitted to intensive care units. It is a result of either lung failure, resulting in hypoxemia, or pump failure, resulting in alveolar hypoventilation and hypercapnia. This article covers the basic lung anatomy, pathop…

Therapy Duration and Long Term Outcomes TB
Tuberculosis is classified as either pulmonary or extra-pulmonary (EPTB). While much focus has been paid to pulmonary tuberculosis, EPTB has received scant attention. Moreover, EPTB is viewed as one wastebasket diagnosis, as “the other” which is not pulmonary

Effect of Initial Heart Rate on Cardiac Troponin and Ejection Fraction in Pat…
Increased heart rate has shown to be associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. This aim of this study was to find the association of troponin level and ejection fraction (EF) with triage heart rate in patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). It was hypothesized that heart rate at triage will be independently associated with higher troponin level and lower EF after …

Safety and Success of Vaginal Birth after Cesarean Delivery in Patients with …
The objective of this study was to determine if preeclampsia (PRE) or gestational hypertension (GH) affects the rate of success of vaginal birth after cesarean delivery (VBAC), VBAC-related complications, or patient election to attempt VBAC. We performed a retrospective cohort study of all women who were offered VBAC from 1996 to 2000 in 17 community and university hospitals

Diagnosis and Treatment of Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis
Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) constitutes about 20% of all cases of tuberculosis (TB) in Korea. Diagnosing EPTB remains challenging because clinical samples obtained from relatively inaccessible sites may be paucibacillary, thus decreasing the sensitivity of diagnostic tests. Whenever practical, every effort should be made to obtain appropriate specimens for both mycobacteriologic and hist…

Spironolactone versus placebo, bisoprolol, and doxazosin to determine the opt…
Optimal drug treatment for patients with resistant hypertension is undefi ned. We aimed to test the hypotheses that resistant hypertension is most often caused by excessive sodium retention, and that spironolactone would therefore be superior to non-diuretic add-on drugs at lowering blood pressure.
