Performance of Fluid Infusion Systems in the Changing Atmospheric Pressures Encountered in Aviation.

Introduction: With the increasing use of aeromedical transport for critically ill patients, it is essential to understand the impact of pressure changes on drug infusion delivery systems. As airplanes ascend and descend, gases/bubbles are released from solutions when ambient pressure decreases and dissolves when pressure increases. This may affect mechanical fluid delivery systems and cause clinically significant changes, especially within a critical care setting.

The gut microbiome modulates the impact of Anaerobutyricum soehngenii supplementation on glucose homeostasis in mice.

Background: There is growing interest in the development of next-generation probiotics to prevent or treat metabolic syndrome. Previous studies suggested that may represent a promising probiotic candidate. A recent human study showed that while supplementation is well tolerated and safe, it resulted in variable responses among individuals with a subset of the subjects significantly benefiting from the treatment.
