Background: Awake prone positioning (APP) may be beneficial in patients with respiratory failure who are not receiving mechanical ventilation. Randomized controlled trials of APP have been performed during peak COVID-19 periods in unvaccinated populations, with limited data on compliance or patient acceptability. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and acceptability of APP in a lower-middle income country in an open-label randomized controlled trial using a dedicated APP implementation team and wearable continuous-monitoring devices.

Article Synopsis
- - The
- Mega-ROX HIE trial
- is an international study designed to compare conservative versus liberal oxygen therapy in adults with hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) after cardiac arrest who are on mechanical ventilation in ICU settings.
- - The
- trial aims to enroll around 4,000 participants
- and will measure all-cause mortality within 90 days from randomization as its primary outcome, alongside several secondary outcomes related to survival and hospital stay.
- - The study is structured to reduce any potential analysis bias by clearly outlining its
- protocol and statistical analysis plan
- , and aims to provide insights into effective oxygen therapies for this population.
Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an increase in the number of unhoused individuals in Asheville, North Carolina resulting in more tent encampments.Understanding the physical, mental, and socially determined health characteristics associated with being unhoused can help guide stakeholders with policy development, healthcare program planning, and funding decisions to support unhoused individuals.
Methods: In this study, we used an observational cross-section methodology.
Background: Lower limb amputation (LLA) impacts physical activity (PA) participation and quality of life (QoL). To minimize the effects of these challenges, LLA survivors need to have opportunities to engage in appropriately tailored rehabilitation throughout their lives. However, in Sri Lanka, where a 3-decade civil war resulted in trauma-related LLA among young male soldiers, access to rehabilitation was limited to the immediate postinjury period.
