Effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on unmet healthcare needs after hospital discharge in acute respiratory failure survivors: A multicenter prospective cohort study.

Survivors of acute respiratory failure (ARF) have complex healthcare needs postdischarge, frequently resulting in unmet needs. This prospective multicenter study explores the association between COVID-19 status and unmet healthcare needs in survivors of ARF following hospital discharge. We analyzed patient characteristics and unmet healthcare needs by COVID-19 status using a multivariable regression model with propensity weights.

Non-photosynthetic lineages sibling to Cyanobacteria associate with eukaryotes in the open ocean.

Margulisbacteria are elusive uncultivated bacteria that have illuminated evolutionary transitions in the progenitor of Cyanobacteria, the latter being a critically important phylum that underpins oxygenic photosynthesis. The non-photosynthetic Margulisbacteria were discovered in a sulfidic spring and later in other habitats. Currently, this candidate phylum partitions into the Riflemargulisbacteria, primarily from sediments and groundwater, the Termititenax from insect gut microbiomes, and the Marinamargulisbacteria, from marine samples.

Updates on Post-Intensive Care Syndrome After Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Epidemiology, Core Outcomes, Interventions, and Long-Term Follow-Up.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) survivors often experience post-intensive care syndrome (PICS), is defined as new or worsened impairments in physical, cognitive and/or mental health status persisting beyond hospital discharge. These impairments negatively impact survivors' quality of life and their return to work or usual activities. Moreover, family members are also impacted as recognized by the term, PICS-Family (PICS-F).

Phase I pilot safety and feasibility of a novel restraint device for critically ill patients requiring mechanical ventilation.

Background: Mechanically ventilated Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients often require wrist restraints, contributing to immobility and agitation, over-sedation, and delirium. The ® ® (Healthy Design, LLC), a novel restraint alternative, may be safe and facilitate greater mobility than traditional restraints.

Objective: This National Institutes of Health Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program Grant-funded single-site Phase I feasibility study evaluated ® safety and feasibility in anticipation of a multi-site Phase II randomized controlled trial (RCT).
