The Compound Muscle Action Potential as Neurophysiological Marker for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. [PDF]

, 2016
Objectives: To definite the peripheral nervous involvement in ALS through the repeated use of the compound motor action potential (CMAP) to test the progression of disease, to determine different change of phrenic CMAP and forced vital capacity (FVC) in

Isovolumic relaxation strain imaging is an accurate and sensitive approach for detection of active diastolic dysfunction: A preclinical study

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
A modified approach was developed to accurately identify the isovolumetric relaxation time (IVRT) using an apical three‐chamber view. Compared with conventional echocardiography, isovolumic relaxation strain imaging (IVSI) helps to detect the earlier alternations of diastolic function in transverse aortic constriction (TAC) mice.

A case of migration of fractured tracheostomy tube—a case presentation

The Egyptian Journal of Otolaryngology, 2022
Background Tracheostomy is widely used for securing the airway; however, complications do occur. One such rare complication is a fracture of the tracheostomy tube which presents as a foreign body of the tracheobronchial tree.

Early Tracheostomy in Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation Due to Severe Head Injury to Prevent Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP)

Indonesian Journal of Anesthesiology and Reanimation (IJAR), 2022
Introduction: Early tracheostomy needs to be considered if a ventilator is expected to be used for an extended period of time. Early tracheostomy is recommended since it improves respiratory function, reduces the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia ...

Blood Lactate as a Prognostic Biomarker for Survival and Weight Loss in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: An Exploratory–Validation Study

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Lactate is increasingly recognized as an energy substrate, but its relevance to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) remains unclear. We examined whether blood lactate is associated with survival and weight loss in ALS. Methods This retrospective study included an Australian exploratory cohort and a Japanese validation cohort with clinical ...

Sustained inflation at birth did not alter lung injury from mechanical ventilation in surfactant-treated fetal lambs. [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundSustained inflations (SI) are used with the initiation of ventilation at birth to rapidly recruit functional residual capacity and may decrease lung injury and the need for mechanical ventilation in preterm infants.

Cost‐utility analysis of nusinersen–risdiplam switch in patients with spinal muscular atrophy in Croatia: A discrete event simulation model

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Introduction In recent years, the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a rare disease, has significantly progressed, improving patients' survival and overall quality of life. However, current SMA treatments are expensive, and some (nusinersen) are very inconvenient for patients.
