The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of PR-AKI and investigate their clinical profiles and outcomes in a tertiary hospital.

Aspiration is a major risk factor for the development of pneumonia. Critically ill patients are at higher risk due to several factors. Many physicians routinely hold feeding prior to extubation due to usual practice, but evidence is scarce that continuing feeding increases the risk of aspiration. This study was designed to determine whether continuing enteral feeding prior to a scheduled extubation is associated with a higher risk of aspiration.

This study aimed to determine the maternal and fetal effects of hyperglycemia, and to compare the clinical outcomes between pregnant teenagers and adult women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Several studies have shown the serious implications of malnutrition, yet it is still underestimated, understudied and an undertreated problem in hospitalized patients. It remains a challenge for hospitals in the Philippines. Pre-operative malnutrition is a risk factor of perioperative morbidity and mortality. Thus, assessing the pre-operative nutritional status is necessary in planning early nutritional interventions and may predict risk of developing postoperative complications.

Globally, previous surveys on financial literacy among healthcare workers highlight the lack of understanding of basic financial concepts. Financial literacy and financial well-being of healthcare professionals are areas that lack comprehensive study. Assessing the level of financial literacy is vital to raise awareness, identify challenges, and provide tailored support, ultimately improving financial well-being and the quality of patient care. We determined the degree of financial literacy and financial well-being of healthcare workers in a tertiary hospital in Cebu.

As the population ages, the likelihood of cancer increases. Aging-related deficits that eventually manifest as frailty may be associated with poor emotional health in older patients with advanced cancer. This study aimed to determine whether frailty was strongly associated with emotional distress, particularly anxiety and depression. This is a single center, cross-sectional, descriptive study using the Geriatric 8 (G8) Frailty Screening Scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scoring (HADS) Scale.

A 32-year-old Filipino female presented with a mediastinal mass and a thyroid nodule. Ultrasound of the thyroid showed calcified thyroid nodules with increased vascularity and lymphadenopathies.

A 68 years old man with previous history of hard smoker came with shortness of breath in the past 2 weeks which had been getting worse for one day. Shortness of breath are accompanied by a dry cough that aggravated the dyspnea. The patient was hospitalized with diagnosis that established through clinical examination.

Lung cancer most commonly presents as chronic cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis, and weight loss. However, in some cases it can also present as a soft tissue mass that can result to a diagnostic challenge. This report presents a 59-year-old male patient who presented with a mass on the right scapular area. Initial biopsy revealed adenocarcinoma.

Presenting a case of 71-year-old female who came in with multiple episodes of hematemesis associated with dull, epigastric abdominal pain. This patient was initially managed as a case of upper gastrointestinal bleeding wherein esophagogastroduodenoscopy was done revealing a large submucosal mass at the upper corpus versus an extrinsic mass compressing the proximal gastric wall.
