Stress ulcer prophylaxis in patients being weaned from the ventilator in a respiratory care center: A randomized control trial

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2016
No data has been available on prophylaxis for stress ulcer development during the process of weaning patients off mechanical ventilators. We conducted a randomized study to evaluate the efficacy of stress ulcer prophylaxis with lansoprazole OD in ...

Mean Lung Pressure during Adult High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation: An Experimental Study Using a Lung Model [PDF]

, 2014
In adult high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV), stroke volume (SV) and mean lung pressure (PLung) are important for lung protection. We measured the airway pressure at the Y-piece and the lung pressure during HFOV using a lung model and HFOV ...

Analysis of Medical Resource Utilization and Outcome of Inhaled Nitric Oxide in Patients Undergoing Mechanical Ventilation

International Journal of Gerontology, 2015
Background: Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) is a potent selective pulmonary vasodilator, which is used in critically ill patients to improve oxygenation. It avoids systemic hypotension and ventilator-induced lung injury in patients using ventilators.

Rewriting Polymer Fate via Chemomechanical Coupling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a life‐like “living” polymer platform that can grow, degrow, and reprogram its properties after fabrication. By integrating mass transport, reversible polymerization, and controlled catalysis, the material achieves on‐demand changes in size, shape, and mechanical properties.

2D MOF with Intrinsic Porosity for Colorimetric Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Detection

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An uncommon 2D MOF with intrinsic in‐plane porosity that can be mechanically exfoliated undergoes a distinct and reversible colour change upon exposure to various volatile organic compounds. ABSTRACT In this work, we report an uncommon 2D metal–organic framework (MOF) with intrinsic in‐plane porosity that undergoes a distinct and reversible colour ...
