Venous and arterial base deficits: do these agree in occult shock and in the elderly?
Arterial and venous BDs agree, including in the presence of OS and in the elderly. Consideration may be given to venous sampling both in the intensive care unit or in other areas of care, such as the trauma bay.
High IL-17-positive TICI is indicative for response to chemotherapy in ovarian carcinoma. Higher frequency of IL-17-positive TICI might persist in recurrent tumor tissues of chemosensitive biopsies, suggesting repetitive platinum-based chemotherapy as an appropriate therapy for patients with IL-17-positive recurrences.
