Article Synopsis
  • Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is crucial for critically ill patients
  • , but it has risks like hypoxemia; preoxygenation is used to enhance safety but can have unreliable monitoring through standard pulse oximeters (SpO2).
  • The Oxygen Reserve Index (ORI)
  • is proposed as a more reliable continuous measure during preoxygenation, targeting an ORI value of at least 0.6 over one minute instead of the standard SpO2 100% goal to improve outcomes.
  • A trial with 950 critically ill adults
  • will compare ORI monitoring against standard SpO2 monitoring during ETI; outcomes include the lowest SpO2 during intubation and cognitive

Objective: To evaluate the use and performance of a gelling fibre dressing (Biatain Fiber; Coloplast A/S, Denmark) in the management of wounds in community nursing practice.

Method: A sub-analysis of the prospective, observational, real-world VIPES (Observatoire en Ville des Plaies ExSudatives) study was conducted. Patients with exuding wounds, for which nurses chose to apply the gelling fibre as a primary dressing, were included.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of taking a daily supplement based on active compounds (AUDISTIM Day Night: A D/N) in alleviating tinnitus-related disability, as suggested by previous real-life studies. This double-blind randomized placebo-controlled study was conducted in adults with mild to severe tinnitus receiving a 3-month supplementation with A D/N (magnesium, vitamins, phytochemicals) or placebo (excipients without active ingredients). Tinnitus-related handicap (THI), psychological stress (MSP-9), and sleep quality (PSQI) were assessed at baseline and during intervention, perceived impression of tinnitus improvement at the end of the follow-up.

Background: Patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) experience recurrent symptoms and anxiety disorders that significantly impact their quality of life (QoL). The aim of the study was to assess in daily practice the benefit of the combination of three probiotic strains (Lactobacillus plantarum CETC 7484 and CETC 7485; Pediococcus acidilactici CECT 7483) plus vitamin D in patients with diarrhea-predominant IBS (IBS-D) or IBS with mixed bowel movements (IBS-M).

Methods: This was a prospective, multicenter, non-interventional study in adult patients with IBS-D or IBS-M (Rome IV criteria) followed by private-practice gastroenterologists.
