Peritoneal dialysis: An effective therapeutic modality in acute kidney injury.

BACKGROUND: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) as a modality of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in acute kidney injury (AKI), continues to be underused. We present our experience with PD in patients with AKI.

Intractable airsickness associated with COVID-19: A case report.

A 29-yr-old male Melicopter co-pilot with high flight hours in air transport missions of the patients with COVID-19 tested positive for his RT-PCR due to clinical suspicion. With the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2, he was treated based on the national protocol and stayed in the home quarantine for two weeks. Having been released for flying, he faced nausea, vomiting, facial cold sweat and pallor, dizzine...

Do clinical and paraclinical findings have the power to predict critical conditions of injured patients after traumatic injury resuscitation? Using data mining artificial intelligence.
