An increasing body of experimental evidence suggests that lung/kidney interactions are involved both in AKI-associated acute lung injury (ALI) and renal consequences of acute respiratory failure. Positive pressure ventilation, changes in PaCO2 and PaO2 levels along with systemic inflammation participate in the renal response to acute respiratory failure. Positive pressure ventilation may modify venous return, cardiac after-load and may decrease cardiac output along with decreased renal blood…

Acute heart failure may occur in instances such as MI whilst compensated heart failure customarily develops steadily, for example, in patients with degenerative valve diseases. Heart failure can also be categorised depending on the side of the heart affected…

These different types include acute myelogenous leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, with acute lymphoblastic leukemia being the type most commonly diagnosed in children (London et al., 2014). There are also chronic types of leukemia but they are very rare (London et al., 2014).

reimbursement and legal issues (Kovacs et al., 2010). In an effort to identify low risk patients with acute PE for outpatient treatment, Erkens et al. (2011) conducted a research on the accuracy of PESI and sPESI by implementing a retrospective cohort study from January 1st, 2007 to December 31st, 2008 at Otawa Hospital in Canada. The authors previously assessed the safety of outpatient care for patients with acute PE in a study using discrimination criteria such as systolic blood pressure,…
