BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a menace in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality all over the world. There are limited data available on pediatric AKI in central India. Our primary objective is to determine the clinical, etiological, and outcome profile of AKI in the pediatric age group of 3 months to 15 years admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Raipur. The secondary objective(s) is to predict the association of mortality in children diagnosed with AKI and to estimate the number of patients developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) at three-month follow-up...

BACKGROUND: Rickettsia japonica infection is a rare disease, it is rare to report critical and severe case caused by this disease in Zhejiang Province, China. PATIENT CONCERNS: We report a patient who initially sought medical attention due to fever and developed coma and convulsions during treatment. The patient did not develop typical eschar and rash. Eventually, the patient needed to be treated in the intensive care unit due to acute respiratory failure. DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed with Rickettsia japonica bloodstream infection by metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS)...

BACKGROUND: Prone positioning (PP) homogenizes ventilation distribution and may limit ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) in patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The static and dynamic components of ventilation that may cause VILI have been aggregated in mechanical power, considered a unifying driver of VILI. PP may affect mechanical power components differently due to changes in respiratory mechanics; however, the effects of PP on lung mechanical power components are unclear...

OBJECTIVE: The use of traditional inhaled pulmonary vasodilators, such as nitric oxide, to treat symptomatic pulmonary edema is not practical in the air medical or prehospital environment because of difficulty with administration. A hospital-based critical care air medical transport service initiated a pilot study to investigate the use of inhaled nitroglycerin (iNTG) as an alternative pulmonary vasodilator. METHODS: For this pilot study, iNTG was administered using a jet nebulizer setup and concentrated nitroglycerin, both of which are widely available in acute care settings...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to synthesize the evidence on the prevalence of latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (LTBI) among undergraduate health care students. METHODS: A systematic review of prevalence with meta-analysis was conducted. Prospective and retrospective cohorts and cross-sectional studies involving probable exposure to M. tuberculosis during undergraduate education, along with the tuberculin skin test (TST) or interferon-γ release assay (IGRA) for investigation of latent tuberculosis were searched...

BACKGROUND: Low-flow extracorporeal CO 2 removal (ECCO 2 R), managed using a renal replacement platform, is useful in achieving lung-protective ventilation with low tidal volume. However, its capacity for CO 2 elimination is limited. Whether this system is valuable in reducing strong inspiratory efforts in respiratory failure is unclear. The combined use of alkaline agents with low-flow ECCO 2 R might be useful in hypercapnic subjects preserving inspiratory efforts. METHODS: This study examined the effects of low-flow ECCO 2 R on respiratory status and investigated the effects of NaHCO 3 , trometamol, and saline on respiratory status during low-flow ECCO 2 R in CO 2 inhalation models...

It is critical to consider intra-abdominal pathology in cases of neonatal respiratory distress. Accurate and prompt diagnosis via computed tomography is lifesaving. We have highlighted the effectiveness of rapid surgical intervention as curative.

Introduction Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most common infectious complication related to admission to an Intensive Treatment Unit (ITU). Ventilator-associated lower respiratory tract infection (VA-LRTI) is a broader diagnosis than VAP. By disregarding radiological criteria, it will include both VAP and ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis. This study, conducted in the setting of a Portuguese ITU, aims to study the incidence, microbiology and clinical outcome of VA-LRTI and its association with COVID-19...

BACKGROUND: Neonatal air transportation is a crucial means of moving critically ill or sick neonates to specialized neonatal intensive care units or medical centers for consultation, regardless of distance or geographical limits. Proper preparation and consideration of air transport can help alleviate medical emergencies and ensure safe delivery. However, crewmembers and neonates may face stress during transportation. To date, there are few studies on neonatal air transportation in Taiwan. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a late preterm neonate born with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome and polycythemia, who was also diagnosed with patent ductus arteriosus and mild pulmonary arterial hypertension on echocardiography...

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common pulmonary complication of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), causing significant morbidity and mortality. Optimal treatment for RA-ILD is not yet well defined. Reliable prognostic indicators are largely byproducts of prior ILD progression, including low or decreasing forced vital capacity and extensive or worsening fibrosis on imaging. In the absence of validated tools to predict treatment response, decisions about whether to initiate or augment treatment are instead based on clinical judgment...

BACKGROUND: Many Latinx and Indigenous Mexican populations in the United States Southwest live in unincorporated communities in the US-Mexico borderlands called colonias. These environmental justice communities often lack basic infrastructure, including healthcare services, prompting many to seek services across the border. However, due to geopolitical factors more vulnerable caregivers are limited to utilize healthcare services in the US. This paper reports the experiences and healthcare decision-making of caregivers living in colonias in the US-Mexico border region who care for children with respiratory health conditions...

Rationale : Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a fatal and progressive disease with limited treatment options. Objectives: To assess the efficacy and safety of CC-90001, an oral inhibitor of c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1, in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Methods: NCT03142191 was a phase 2, randomized (1:1:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled study in which patients received CC-90001 (200 or 400 mg) or placebo once daily for 24 weeks. Background antifibrotic treatment (pirfenidone) was allowed. The primary endpoint was change in percentage of predicted forced vital capacity (ppFVC) from baseline to Week 24; secondary endpoints included safety...

PURPOSE: Traumas cause great casualties, accompanied by heavy economic burdens every year. The study aimed to use ML (machine learning) survival algorithms for predicting the 8-and 24-hour survival of severe traumas. METHODS: A retrospective study using data from National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) was conducted. Four ML survival algorithms including survival tree (ST), random forest for survival (RFS) and gradient boosting machine (GBM), together with a Cox proportional hazard model (Cox), were utilized to develop the survival prediction models...
