<h3>Introduction</h3> Current evidence on epidemiology and outcomes of invasively mechanically ventilated intensive care unit (ICU) patients is predominantly gathered in resource-rich settings. Patient casemix and patterns of critical illnesses, and probably also ventilation practices are likely to ...

Copper oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by using Camellia Sinensis leaves extract as a reducing and capping agent of the copper ions in solutions and its azodyes adsorptive efficiency were studied. The produced copper oxide nanoparticles were subsequently characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, FTIR, an...

BACKGROUND South Asian region contributes 59 % to the global mortality due to burns. However, we find a paucity of literature on the outcomes of burns from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). South Asian Burn Registry (SABR) is a facility-based burns registry that collected data on in-patient ...
