Effect of Implementing Respiratory Care Unit Ventilator Weaning Assessment Checklist on Weaning and Extubation Outcomes.

Background: Approximately 48% of patients with chronic respiratory disorders experience post-extubation respiratory failure necessitating noninvasive respiratory support or reintubation, which is linked to higher morbidity and mortality. So, it is necessary to determine patients' preparedness for weaning and extubation.

Objectives: To examine the effect of implementing respiratory care unit (RCC) ventilator weaning assessment checklist on weaning and extubation outcomes.

In vivo study of nano chitosan beads-based ELISA versus traditional sandwich ELISA for the early diagnosis of trichinosis.

Human trichinosis is a serious foodborne parasitic zoonosis. Diagnosing human trichinosis is usually difficult due to the nonspecific clinical picture and the limited effectiveness of serological tests in acute infections. While ELISA can detect circulating Trichinella antigens, aiding in early diagnosis, its sensitivity may be low.

Nasal Cannula Dislodgement During Sleep in Veterans Receiving Long-term Oxygen Therapy for Hypoxemic Chronic Respiratory Failure.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is highly prevalent in male veterans. Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) can effectively reduce all-cause mortality in these patients, but the effects of nasal cannula dislodgement (NCD) during sleep have not been well studied.

Methods: This study sought to determine whether veterans receiving LTOT for hypoxemic chronic respiratory failure (CRF) due to COPD reported NCD while they slept and, if so, its impact on hospitalizations for COPD exacerbations.

Streptomyces avermitilis MICNEMA2022: a new biorational strain for producing abamectin as an integrated nematode management agent.

Background: Abamectin (ABA) is considered a powerful insecticidal and anthelmintic agent. It is an intracellular product of Streptomyces avermitilis; is synthesized through complicated pathways and can then be extracted from mycelial by methanol extraction. ABA serves as a biological control substance against the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita.

Development and Validation of Eyes Care Bundle for Mechanically Ventilated Patients.

Lack of proper eye care (EC) for mechanically ventilated patients can lead to serious ocular complications. Objective of this study is to develop and validate eyes care bundle for mechanically ventilated patients. A Delphi design study was conducted between March and May 2021.
