Article Synopsis
- A 47-year-old Asian woman experienced worsening chest tightness and difficulty breathing for 10 days, prompting her admission to the hospital.
- CT scans revealed changes in her trachea and bronchi, and tests indicated severe obstructive ventilatory dysfunction.
- Further bronchoscopic examinations and biopsies confirmed a diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), classified as Binet stage B and Rai stage 2.
Background: Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is characterised by the main violation of the upper and lower respiratory tract and kidney. GPA is considered a systemic vasculitis of medium-sized and small blood vessels where aortic involvement is extremely rare.
Case Presentation: A 28-year-old male was admitted to the hospital due to 4 h of chest pain.
Background: Previous meta-analyses have shown that ultrasound guidance is an effective technique for radial artery catheterization. However, these reports neglected to include several non-English language studies. Therefore, an updated meta-analysis including more eligible studies was performed to assess the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided radial artery catheterization.

Methods: A prospective, randomized comparison of BiPAP mechanical ventilation combined with lung recruitment maneuvers (test group) with low tidal volume A/C ventilation (control group) was conducted in 28 patients with ARDS. FiO2/PaO2 ratio, respiratory system compliance (Cs), central venous pressure (CVP), duration of ventilation support were recorded at 0 h, 48 h and 72 h separately.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and effect on outcome of goal-directed therapy in patients with septic shock compared with conventional therapy.
Methods: Sixteen patients with septic shock were randomly assigned to receive goal-directed therapy, with central venous pressure (CVP) 8-12 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa), mean arterial pressure (MAP) >or=65 mm Hg, venous oxygen saturation (SvO(2))>0.
