Closed-loop ventilation and oxygenation with decision support fluid resuscitation to treat major burn injury with smoke induced acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Introduction: The understanding of the interaction of closed-loop control of ventilation and oxygenation, specifically fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), and fluid resuscitation after burn injury and acute lung injury from smoke inhalation is limited. We compared the effectiveness of FiO2, PEEP, and ventilation adjusted automatically using adaptive support ventilation (ASV) and decision support fluid resuscitation based on urine output in a clinically relevant conscious ovine model of lung injury secondary to combined smoke inhalation and major burn injury.

Methods: Sheep were subjected to burn and smoke inhalation injury under deep anesthesia and analgesia.

Electrochemical Properties of Powdery LiNiMnCoO Electrodes with Styrene-Acrylic-Rubber-Based Latex Binders at High Voltage.

Efforts to improve the energy density and cycling stability of lithium-ion batteries have focused on replacing LiCoO in cathodes with LiNiMnCoO. However, reliance on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) as the binder limits the application of the LiNiMnCoO composite electrode for lithium-ion batteries. Here, we evaluate the electrochemical properties of a LiNiMnCoO (NMC111) powder electrode formed using a waterborne-styrene-acrylic-rubber (SAR) latex binder combined with sodium carboxymethylcellulose.

New frontiers in alkali metal insertion into carbon electrodes for energy storage.

With rising interest in new electrodes for next-generation batteries, carbon materials remain as top competitors with their reliable performance, low-cost, low voltage reactions, and diverse tunability. Depending on carbon's structure, it can attain high cyclability as with Li at crystalline graphite or exceptional capacities with Na at amorphous, porous hard carbons. In this review, we discuss key results and research directions using carbon electrodes for alkali ion storage.

Nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease caused by .

was first isolated and reported in Korea in 2007. We report a rare case of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) pulmonary disease caused by . A woman in her mid-90s was referred to our hospital due to bloody sputum.
