Objective: This study investigated the effects of dual-task resistance training (RT) and detraining on physical function, cognitive capacity, lipid profile, renal function, oxidative stress markers, and chronic inflammation of institutionalized older adults.
Methods: The study involved 11 older adults (83.09 ± 8.
Background: Sarcopenia is a muscle disease characterized by reduction of muscle strength and muscle mass. In RA, 25.9 to 43.

- The study aimed to compare the effects of personalized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) versus a standard low PEEP/FiO2 table on patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) undergoing pressure support ventilation (PSV).
- Researchers conducted a cross-over randomized trial with 30 ARDS patients, measuring how different PEEP settings affected lung mechanics and patient comfort.
- Results showed that the personalized PEEP significantly improved lung function, reduced respiratory effort, and did not lead to lung overdistension, making it a promising approach for treating ARDS during ventilation.
Article Synopsis
- Acute hypercapnic respiratory failure is a serious condition primarily caused by insufficient breathing, often linked to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and muscle dysfunction.
- Noninvasive ventilation using a mask is the preferred first-line treatment to improve patient survival and outcomes, while high-flow nasal oxygen is considered a supportive option, although it has a higher failure rate compared to noninvasive ventilation.
- The review discusses optimal settings for high-flow nasal oxygen and highlights its potential benefits when used after noninvasive ventilation or during weaning from mechanical ventilation.
