Thoracic ultrasound frequently altered ICU management decisions. Changes were more likely in patients with cardiovascular disease or hypovolemia and occurred independently of operator certification. These findings support the routine use of TUS in critically ill patients, even when performed by less‐experienced but supervised operators.

Human Cyclophilins—An Emerging Class of Drug Targets
ABSTRACT Cyclophilins are a family of enzymes with peptidyl‐prolyl isomerase activity found in all cells of all organisms. To date, 17 cyclophilin isoforms have been identified in the human body, participating in diverse biological processes. Consequently, cyclophilins have emerged as promising targets for drug development to address a wide array of ...

ABSTRACT PFO mediated right‐to‐left shunt was found to be responsible for worsening exertional hypoxemia in an elderly patient with interstitial pulmonary fibrosis. Transcatheter PFO closure resolved the hypoxemia. This case highlights the need to evaluate intracardiac shunts in hypoxic patients, even with coexisting pulmonary pathology.
