  • The COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased global interest in ventilators, highlighting a need for more evidence on their performance to ensure proper device-patient matching.
  • A study evaluated six noninvasive ventilators based on various factors including volume delivery, trigger response, and synchronization under 36 different experimental conditions using a lung model.
  • Results indicated that while all ventilators performed well, Philips Trilogy Evo/EV300 and Hamilton C3 were the top performers; however, challenges remained with low muscle effort and obstructive patterns, emphasizing the need for clinicians to understand NIV goals for optimal device selection.

Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) production is a stress-generated cellular response with high interspecies homology. HSP70 has both chaperone and cytokine functions and may induce, depending on the context, tolerogenic anti-inflammatory reactivity or immunogenic and autoimmune reactivity. Intracellular (chaperoning transit of antigens to MHC in antigen-presenting cells) and extracellular HSP70-related effects are associated with hypertension, which is an inflammatory condition recognized as the most important risk factor for cardiovascular disease mortality.

Regional platforms of fertility preservation allow notably for the coordination of the oncology teams and the CECOS.
