Researchers from the University of Michigan Health System found an obesity paradox among older patients suffering from sepsis. The study, which was published in the August issue of Critical Care Medicine, observed 1,404 Medicare beneficiaries and found that heavier patients had higher rates of survival from the life-threatening condition that may require a stay in the intensive care unit.

A graduate of Harvard Medical School, Dr. Elliott Bennett Guerrero is the vice chairman and a professor of Anesthesiology at Stony Brook Medicine. In this capacity, Elliott Bennett Guerrero led a clinical trial for a coronavirus treatment with blood plasma.
In 2020, Stony Brook Medicine conducted research to see if the administration of blood plasma from individuals that have survived an infection with coronavirus -19 (COVID-19) can help patients who are hospitalized with COVID-19 infection . Convalescent plasma contains antibodies to COVID-19 and was theorized to have potential to help people who have not yet mounted an immune response to the virus. The study found that the administration of convalescent plasma increased antibodies to the virus that causes COVID-19 infection, but did not improve patient's survival or other clinical outcomes.
This clinical trial's results were published in Critical Care Medicine, which is the official journal of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM). The SCCM is the largest organization dedicated to improving the care of critically ill patients. It has members in more than 100 countries.

The reality of moving towards precision medicineElia Stupka
How do we move towards precision medicine? How can we deliver on the big data in health promise? Who will be the enablers and players? Pharma, Big Tech, or newcomers?

What US healthcare professionals were thinking about pancreatic cancer during...CREATION
During #ASCO19 CREATION.co isolated the online conversations of healthcare professionals based the US, to learn how they discussed pancreatic cancer during the meeting. Our data reveals that the big story for them was AstraZeneca's POLO trial data for olaparib.
The poster is about my current research on reduction of noise levels in the hospital\'s Intensive Care Units (ICU\'s). The poster was presented at a research festival organized by Oakland University\'s Center for Bio-medical Research and Sigma Xi chapter. It was on April 4th, 2012.
in this topic the technique of chest physiotherapy, indications, contradications of chest physiotherapy are explained. different positions used in postural drainage are briefed.

Identification and description of the clinical issue.
The clinical issue or problem identified for my study is the central line bloodstream infections (CLABSI)
Central line bloodstream infections(CLABSI) is a health condition that affects many people.
It occurs when pathogens such as bacteria and other germs invade the patients central line after which they get into the bloodstream.
CLABSI related infections are often serious but they can be successfully managed through appropriate treatment approaches.
Femoral central venous catheters and internal jugular along with subclavian central lines have high risk of getting infected.
As per the survey conducted in 2019 about the central line bloodstream infections, it was found that the infection ratio for the said infections was 0.8 per 1000 central line days. This means that over 250000 people across the world bloodstream infections occur yearly and most of them are associated with the presence of intravascular devices.

Identification and description of the clinical issue.
Cont.………
Risk factors for Central Line-associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSI)
presence of gastrostomy tube.
ICU placement of central venous catheter.
Immunosuppression.
Antibiotic therapy(Steffens et al., 2019,).
Poor nutrition;
Multiple invasive procedures.
nonoperative cardiovascular disease.
Central line bloodstream infection is associated with numerous predisposing risk factors. From healthcare stats, it can be said that central line catheters are the common causes of health callings linked to CLABSI. However there are many other risk factors that predispose patients to contracting or developing central line bloodstream infections. Contamination may occur within the central line and this may cause central line related illness. Such contamination include; non interact dressing, contaminated infusion, central venous access devices as well as patient's skin flora.

How to develop PICOT question for CLABSI
By analyzing the major components of PICOT, that is P-population, patients, or problem at hand, I-interventions required to solve the issue, C- control or alternative interventions to be compared, O-outcome or the objective to be achieved and T-time framework required to achieve desired outcome(Steffens et al., 2019).
This will help formulate questions such as;
Who and what is the issues that need to be addressed?
What is the proposed intervention and actions to remedy the issue?
What is desired outcome?
How much time is required to realized anticipated results?
To come up with PICOT statement of question on the clinical issues that I had chosen I had to analyze all the components of PICOT to identify their meanings so as to develop a questions that meets PICOT guidelines. The analysis of the PICOT components will help develop questions about the what are kind of population or patients affec ...
