Hypoxic Burden in Children With Sleep‐Disordered Breathing: Determinants and Correlates

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypoxic burden (HB) is an emerging metric for quantifying intermittent hypoxia associated with sleep apnea, offering potential advantages over traditional measures such as the apnea‐hypopnea index (AHI). This study evaluated the distribution and clinical significance of non‐respiratory event‐specific HB in children and adolescents with ...

Can selection of mechanical ventilation mode prevent increased intra-abdominal pressure in patients admitted to the intensive care unit?

International Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2013
Background: Increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) results in dysfunction of vital organs. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of mechanical ventilation mode on IAP.

Nocturnal Hypoxemic Burden Predicts Mortality in Patients Awaiting Heart Transplantation

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Trial design and results on hypoxemic burden in the context of heart transplantation. ABSTRACT Risk stratification for patients with end‐stage heart failure (HF) awaiting heart transplantation (HTX) is crucial. Sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB) is a prevalent comorbidity, yet the impact of its resultant hypoxemic burden remains unclear in this ...

The effect of perioperative erythropoietin‐stimulating agents and intravenous iron on patient outcomes following solid organ transplantation: A systematic review

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Solid organ transplant is associated with high rates of anaemia and transfusion, but there is little comparative data on interventions such as erythropoietin‐stimulating agents (ESAs) and intravenous (IV) iron. We conducted a systematic review examining the association of ESAs and IV iron with outcomes in adults undergoing solid organ ...

Outcome and Toxicity Profile of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Adrenal Tumours in Dogs

Veterinary and Comparative Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has become a non‐invasive alternative option for canine adrenal tumours with high surgical risks; however, its clinical benefits and risks are still to be fully understood. The goal of this multi‐institutional retrospective study was to describe the clinical outcome and safety of SBRT for the ...

Effects of the angle of head‐down tilt on dynamic cerebral autoregulation during combined exposure to cephalad fluid shift and mild hypercapnia

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Astronauts experience combined exposure to a cephalad fluid shift and mild hypercapnia during space missions, potentially contributing to health problems. Such combined exposure may weaken dynamic cerebral autoregulation. The magnitude of cephalad fluid shift varies between individuals, and dynamic cerebral autoregulation may be affected more ...

Optimizing cerebrovascular endothelial health through shear stress modulation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The endothelium plays a pivotal role in regulating cerebrovascular blood flow, and its dysfunction increases the risk of cerebrovascular disease. Endothelial shear stress, a primary mechanical stimulus for endothelial nitric oxide production, is a key modulator of vascular adaptation.

Applying lessons from limb muscle disuse and ageing to better understand ventilator‐induced diaphragm dysfunction

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life‐saving intervention applied to critically ill patients. A common consequence of MV is ventilator‐induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD), which is characterized by significant diaphragm atrophy and reduced contractile function. Older patients who receive MV are more likely to develop VIDD, have worse recovery,
