High‐velocity nasal insufflation versus noninvasive positive pressure ventilation for moderate acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the emergency department: A randomized clinical trial

Academic Emergency Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the emergency department (ED) involve dyspnea, cough, and chest discomfort; frequent exacerbations are associated with increased mortality and reduced quality of life. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NiPPV) is commonly used to help relieve symptoms but

Alcohol consumption and high‐molecular‐weight adiponectin levels are interactively associated with all‐cause mortality among community‐dwelling persons

Alcohol, Clinical and Experimental Research, EarlyView.
Alcohol consumption showed a U‐shaped relationship with all‐cause mortality, while adiponectin levels were dose‐dependently linked to mortality. Furthermore, an interaction between alcohol intake and adiponectin levels was noted, regardless of conventional cardiovascular risk factors. For a deeper understanding of the mechanisms driving this connection

Source population and time spent in captivity affect survival and reproduction of long‐distance translocated northern bobwhites

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Long‐distance translocations of northern bobwhites are increasingly used to access source populations with sufficient densities for translocation. This study compared the survival and productivity of bobwhites translocated from the South Texas Plains and the Floridian Coastal Plain to the Floridian Coastal Plain, revealing higher survival and fecundity

A novel method to enhance pneumonia detection via a model-level ensembling of CNN and vision transformer [PDF]

arXiv
Pneumonia remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Chest X-ray (CXR) imaging is a fundamental diagnostic tool, but traditional analysis relies on time-intensive expert evaluation. Recently, deep learning has shown immense potential for automating pneumonia detection from CXRs. This paper explores applying neural networks to improve

Vitamin D Deficiency and Driveline Infections in Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Devices

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Pre‐operative vitamin D deficiency was associated with a three‐fold increased risk of driveline infection in left ventricular assist device recipients. This potentially modifiable risk factor could be readily addressed through pre‐implant screening and supplementation, potentially reducing the burden of this common complication.
