Short Descriptions

  1. Sepsis:
    • Defined by SOFA score changes, indicating organ dysfunction due to infection.
    • Management includes antibiotics, fluid resuscitation, and vasopressors.
  2. ARDS:
    • Diagnosed by acute onset, bilateral opacities on X-ray, and hypoxemia (PaO₂/FiO₂ ≤300).
    • Management includes ventilation strategies like low tidal volume and prone positioning.
  3. Behçet Syndrome:
    • Features recurrent mucocutaneous ulcers, eye inflammation, and systemic involvement (joints, vessels, CNS).
    • Treatment involves steroids and immunosuppressive agents.
  4. Clinical Trials in Diabetes:
    • Trials emphasize intensive glycemic control, lifestyle modifications, and drug efficacy (e.g., metformin, ACEIs).
    • Findings highlight prevention of complications and treatment personalization.
