Barriers and Challenges for Visually Impaired Students in PE-An Interview Study with Students in Austria, Germany, and the USA.

Physical education (PE) is an important part of school education worldwide, and at the same time, almost the only subject that explicitly deals with body and movement. PE is therefore of elementary importance in the upbringing of young people. This also applies to children with visual impairments.

Cerebral Oximetry Monitoring in Extremely Preterm Infants.

Background: The use of cerebral oximetry monitoring in the care of extremely preterm infants is increasing. However, evidence that its use improves clinical outcomes is lacking.

Methods: In this randomized, phase 3 trial conducted at 70 sites in 17 countries, we assigned extremely preterm infants (gestational age, <28 weeks), within 6 hours after birth, to receive treatment guided by cerebral oximetry monitoring for the first 72 hours after birth or to receive usual care.

A novel heat treatment protocol for human milk.

Human milk (HM) is the recommended nutrition for premature infants, but it may require processing to ensure microbial safety. The current standard is Holder pasteurisation (HoP), i.e.

Holder Pasteurization: Comparison of Water-Bath and Dry-Tempering Devices.

Background: Human milk (HM) for premature infants is frequently Holder pasteurized (heated at 62.5 ± 0.5°C for 30 min) despite its detrimental effects on heat-sensitive milk components.

Trigger performance of five pediatric home ventilators and one ICU ventilator depending on circuit type and system leak in a physical model of the lung.

Background: The population of children with chronic respiratory failure requiring long-term mechanical ventilation in the home has grown worldwide. The optimal choice from an increasing number of home ventilators commercialized for children is often challenging for the attending physicians. The aim of the present study was to compare the trigger performance of five pediatric bilevel home ventilators and one intensive care unit ventilator depending on circuit type and system leak.

"… and after That Came Me". Subjective Constructions of Social Hierarchy in Physical Education Classes among Youth with Visual Impairments in Germany.

The aim of this study was to reconstruct subjective constructions of experiences in PE and feelings of being valued within PE classes in Germany by students with visual impairment (VI). Two female and two male students (average age: 19.25 years) participated in the study from the upper level.

Ultrashort inspiratory times homogenize ventilation distribution in an inhomogeneous two-compartment model of the neonatal lung.

Background: Inhomogeneous lung ventilation and pulmonary air leaks are common adverse effects of mechanical ventilation in preterm infants suffering from respiratory distress syndrome. We hypothesized that shortening of inspiratory times can improve the homogeneity of lung aeration. We assumed that ultrashort inspiratory times lead to a full build-up of pressure in regions with low compliance while maintaining incomplete filling of regions with high compliance.

High-flow nasal cannula vs standard respiratory care in pediatric procedural sedation: A randomized controlled pilot trial.

Introduction: Respiratory instability is frequently observed during pediatric procedural sedation. The aim of this trial was to estimate the impact of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy on respiratory stability during sedation for upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy in children.

Methods: Prospective randomized controlled non-blinded single-center pilot trial.
