Article Synopsis
- There is uncertainty about how long to monitor pure ground-glass nodules (pGGNs) found on low dose CT scans, and longer studies are needed to determine optimal follow-up times.
- This retrospective study analyzed 135 pGGNs in 89 patients over a median follow-up of 193 months, revealing that 17% increased in size, with some growing even after 10 years.
- The results indicate that among pGGNs stable for 10 years, 3.9% eventually grew, suggesting that a follow-up period longer than 10 years may be necessary to confirm the stability of these nodules.
Background: The best ventilator mode for patients receiving non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has not been clarified. This study compared the effectiveness of two pressure-targeted modes, i.e.

Methods: A prospective observational study was performed in 20 ICUs of university-affiliated hospitals from June 2017 to February 2018. Adult patients (age>18 years) who were admitted to the ICU and received NIV treatment for acute respiratory failure were included.
Background/aims: The relationship between nonpulmonary organ failure and the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in patients with sepsis has not been well studied.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with septic bacteremia admitted to the medical intensive care unit (ICU) of a tertiary academic hospital between January 2013 and December 2016.
Results: The study enrolled 125 patients of median age 73.
