The selection of a mechanical ventilator [PDF]

Canadian Anaesthetists’ Society Journal, 1959
(1) An attempt has been made to discuss the elementary physiological requirements of a mechanical ventilator. (2) The types of machine available are grouped and it is shown that volume constant-pressure variable machmes provide the most satisfactory ventilation.

Complications of mechanical ventilation

Srpski arhiv za celokupno lekarstvo, 2011
Mechanical ventilation of the lungs, as an important therapeutic measure, cannot be avoided in critically ill patients. However, when machines take over some of vital functions there is always a risk of complications and accidents. Complications associated with mechanical ventilation can be divided into: 1) airway-associated complications ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

TRAIL‐PEG‐Apt‐PLGA nanosystem as an aptamer‐targeted drug delivery system potential for triple‐negative breast cancer therapy using in vivo mouse model

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.

Effect of individualized positive end-expiratory pressure titration guided by electrical impedance tomography on oxygenation in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery in the lateral decubitus position: a randomized controlled study [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology
Background Laparoscopic surgery in the lateral decubitus position can alter pulmonary mechanics and oxygenation. Although positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may alleviate these effects, the optimal level remains unclear. This study evaluated whether
