Characterization of dynamic compliance of the respiratory system in healthy anesthetized dogs.

Introduction: In clinical practice, evaluating dynamic compliance of the respiratory system (C) could provide valuable insights into respiratory mechanics. Reference values of C based on body weight have been reported, but various factors may affect them and the evidence is scanty. This study aimed to establish a reference interval for C and identify associated variables.

Making Surgery as Safe as It Should Be: A Qualitative Study.

Existing literature supports the view that adverse outcomes from surgical interventions are more likely to be the result of degraded nontechnical skills (NTS) rather than the technical skills of surgeons. In the present context, NTS comprise the behaviors and cognitions deployed by surgeons to make decisions, maintain awareness of the operating environment, communicate with and lead supporting personnel. A contemporary safety thesis suggests that focusing on what makes things go right (eg, NTS) is far more productive than retrospective analysis (learning from mistakes).

A Scoping Review of Three Dimensions for Long-Term COVID-19 Vaccination Models: Hybrid Immunity, Individual Drivers of Vaccinal Choice, and Human Errors.

The virus that causes COVID-19 changes over time, occasionally leading to Variants of Interest (VOIs) and Variants of Concern (VOCs) that can behave differently with respect to detection kits, treatments, or vaccines. For instance, two vaccination doses were 61% effective against the BA.1 predominant variant, but only 24% effective when BA.
