Health disparities in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) have not been extensively reported in the United States. The aim of this project was to characterize the extent of demographic and socioeconomic disparities in clinical outcomes within a large, diverse PAH patient population. A retrospective, population-based study of electronic health record data from the OneFlorida Data Trust was completed.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the accuracy of four neonatal illness severity scores for predicting mortality in persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN).
Study Design: This retrospective study included neonates diagnosed with PPHN between 2013 and 2022. The illness severity scores of four commonly used tools were completed for each infant: the Clinical Risk Index for Babies-II (CRIB-II), the Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology-Perinatal Extension version II (SNAPPE-II) in the first 12 h after admission and maximum oxygenation index (OI) and Vasoactive-Inotropic score (VIS) during the first 24 h (OI24max and VIS24max), 48 h (OI48max and VIS48max), and 72 h (OI72max and VIS72max) after admission.
Neutrophil adhesion to vessel walls impairs pulmonary circulation in COVID-19 pathology.

Microthrombus formation is associated with COVID-19 severity; however, the detailed mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we investigated mouse models with severe pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection by using our in vivo two-photon imaging system. In the lungs of SARS-CoV-2-infected mice, increased expression of adhesion molecules in intravascular neutrophils prolonged adhesion time to the vessel wall, resulting in platelet aggregation and impaired lung perfusion.

Chest
January 2025
Division of Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, United States.
Background: Airway management is a critical component of the care of patients experiencing cardiac arrest, but data from randomized trials on the use of video vs direct laryngoscopy for intubation in the setting of cardiac arrest are limited. Current AHA guidelines recommend placement of an endotracheal tube either during CPR or shortly after return of spontaneous circulation but do not provide guidance around intubation methods, including the choice of laryngoscope.
Research Question: Does use of video laryngoscopy improve the incidence of successful intubation on the first attempt, compared to use of direct laryngoscopy, among adults undergoing tracheal intubation after experiencing cardiac arrest?
Study Design And Methods: This secondary analysis of the Direct versus Video Laryngoscope (DEVICE) trial compared video laryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy in the subgroup of patients who were intubated following cardiac arrest.
Surgical and Neurointensive Management for Acute Spinal Cord Injury: A Narrative Review.
Korean J Neurotrauma
December 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, Korea University Guro Hospital, Korea University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) following high-energy trauma often leads to lasting neurologic deficits and severe socioeconomic impact. Effective neurointensive care, particularly in the early stages post-injury, is essential for optimizing outcomes. This review discusses the role of neurointensive care in managing SCI, emphasizing early assessment, stabilization, and intervention strategies based on recent evidence-based practices.
