Clinical Comparative Analysis of Neonatal Scalp Vein and Axillary Vein Catheterization

DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.174
Synopsis: 
AVC was safe and effective towards the neonates, so it could be used as the preferred choice for the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) neonatal intravenous remaining, thus it was worthy of the neonatal clinical application.

ABSTRACT

Objective: The aim of the current study was to study the application effects of axillary vein catheterization (AVC) in the clinical nursing.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out towards the detailed information of children that were performed AVC, and the related situations of scalp vein catheterization (SVC) and AVC were compared.

Cardiovascular Risk Assesment of Subclinical Hypothyroid Patients by Using Framingham Risk Score

DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.160
Synopsis: 
We evaluate the variation of cardiovascular risks of subclinical hypothyroid patients with thyroid hormone replacement therapy by using the Framingham Risk Scoring system. As a result, it was obviously seen that in subclinical hypothyroid patients, just by thyroid hormone replacement therapy, a marked decrease in cardiovascular risk can be obtained.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the variation of cardiovascular risks of subclinical hypothyroid patients with thyroid hormone replacement therapy by using Framingham Risk Scoring system.

Use of Cystatin C in the Early Diagnosis of Contrast-induced Nephropathy

DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.074
Synopsis: 
In this study, the Cys C level of the CIN group was significantly increased after 24 h or PCI, while the Scr level had no significant synchronic change, and the Cys C and Scr levels of the non-CIN group had no statistical significance before and after the opacification. The cut-off point value of Cys C was 1.50 mg/L, with the sensitivity and specificity as 85.7% and 82.4% respectively, suggesting that the serum Cys C concentrations had a certain value towards the early diagnosis of CIN, better than Scr, and is worthy of clinical application.

ABSTRACT

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the application values of Cystatin C (cys-C) in the early diagnosis of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN).
