Increased extravascular lung water in patients with low pulmonary artery occlusion pressure after acute myocardial infarction.
To evaluate the clinical characteristics of increased extravascular lung water (EVLW) in patients with low pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP) in the early phase of acute myocardial infarction. ⋯ Larger infarcts led to increased EVLW even with low PAOP, and the accumulation of increased EVLW around the small arterioles might have led to increased pulmonary vascular resistance.

Validation of the Glasgow Meningococcal Septicemia Prognostic Score: a 10-year retrospective survey.
To derive performance characteristics for the Glasgow Meningococcal Septicemia Prognostic Score (GMSPS). ⋯ The GMSPS is a rapid clinical score that performs well in identifying children with poor prognosis who might benefit from early intensive care. It should be studied prospectively and compared with other scoring systems.
