Risk factors for treatment failure of heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula as an initial respiratory support in newborn infants with respiratory distress

open access: yesPediatrics and Neonatology, 2020
Background: Humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HHFNC) has gained popularity because it is easier to use, more comfortable for babies, and advantageous for mother-infant bonding.

Metabolic acidosis may be as protective as hypercapnic acidosis in an ex-vivo model of severe ventilator-induced lung injury: a pilot study

open access: yesBMC Anesthesiology, 2011
Background There is mounting experimental evidence that hypercapnic acidosis protects against lung injury. However, it is unclear if acidosis per se rather than hypercapnia is responsible for this beneficial effect.

Effects of chronic hypercapnia on ammonium transport in the mouse kidney

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2019
Hypercapnia and subsequent respiratory acidosis are serious complications in many patients with respiratory disorders. The acute response to hypercapnia is buffering of H+ by hemoglobin and cellular proteins but this effect is limited.

Stimuli‐Responsive Supramolecular Biomaterials for Cancer Theranostics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The ultimate goal of cancer theranostics is to get imaging agents and therapeutic cargo to tumor sites when and where they are required. “Smart” systems should be developed. This review discusses the characteristics of physiological stimuli, types and action modes of external stimuli, construction approaches and working principles, as well as ...

Respiratory and metabolic acidosis correction with the ADVanced Organ Support system

open access: yesIntensive Care Medicine Experimental, 2019
Background The lung, the kidney, and the liver are major regulators of acid-base balance. Acidosis due to the dysfunction of one or more organs can increase mortality, especially in critically ill patients.
