Hemodynamic benefits of milrinone administration are accompanied by adverse effects on arterial oxygenation in mechanically ventilated patients with end-stage heart failure. Particular attention should be focused on pulmonary gas exchange variables after initiation of milrinone treatment in the critically ill patient.

Invasive infections by group A Streptococcus infections in Brazil: a pediatric case series.
Rev Paul Pediatr
December 2024
Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil.
Objective: Group A Streptococcus (GAS) are Gram-positive cocci that colonize the nasopharynx and/or skin and in rare cases may cause severe invasive infections. Although these infections decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic, some countries have observed an increased number of invasive GAS (iGAS) diseases in recent years. The objective of this study was to describe a series of iGAS diseases in a referral hospital for the treatment of pediatric infectious disease in Minas Gerais State, Brazil, between September 2022 and August 2023.

Curr Pain Headache Rep

Department of Anesthesiology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, 310000, People's Republic of China.
Purpose Of Review: Post-laparoscopic shoulder pain (PLSP) can slow patient recovery and extend hospital stays, making its management crucial for patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Current consensus guidelines say little about how to prevent or manage PLSP. In this context, a multimodal approach to PLSP management that maybe extend beyond the pharmaceutical interventions currently employed.

The induction of general anesthesia leads to the development of atelectasis and redistribution of ventilation to non-dependent lung regions with subsequent impairment of gas exchange. However, it remains unclear how rapidly atelectasis occurs after the induction of anesthesia in obese patients. We therefore investigated the extent of atelectasis formation in obese patients in the first few minutes after the induction of general anesthesia and initiation of mechanical ventilation in the operating room.

: Invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing (iCPET) provides valuable insight into dyspnea in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease, in part through an increased relationship of minute ventilation to CO production (V/VCO). Obesity lowers the V/VCO in patients without cardiopulmonary disease; however, whether this holds true in obese subjects with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) is unknown. : Report on the iCPET findings of patients with CTEPH and CTEPD and investigate the relationship between obesity and gas exchange parameters, especially V/VCO in these patients.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and lethal interstitial lung disease (ILD) of unknown origin, characterized by limited treatment efficacy and a fibroproliferative nature. It is marked by excessive extracellular matrix deposition in the pulmonary parenchyma, leading to progressive lung volume decline and impaired gas exchange. The chemokine system, a network of proteins involved in cellular communication with diverse biological functions, plays a crucial role in various respiratory diseases.
