Article Abstract
Objective: Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and recruitment maneuvers (RMs) may partially reverse atelectasis and reduce ventilation-associated lung injury. The purposes of this study were to assess a) magnitude and duration of RM effects on arterial oxygenation and on requirements for oxygenation support (Fio2/PEEP) in patients with acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) receiving ventilation with low tidal volumes and high levels of PEEP; and b) frequency of adverse respiratory and circulatory events attributable to RMs.
Design: Prospective, randomized, crossover study.
Setting: Thirty-four intensive care units at 19 hospitals.
Patients: Seventy-two patients with early ALI/ARDS. Baseline PEEP and Fio2 were 13.8 +/- 3.0 cm H2O and 0.39 +/- 0.10, respectively (mean +/- sd).
Interventions: We conducted RMs by applying continuous positive airway pressure of 35-40 cm H2O for 30 secs. We conducted sham RMs on alternate days. We monitored oxyhemoglobin saturation by pulse oximetry (SpO2), Fio2/PEEP, blood pressure, and heart rate for 8 hrs after RMs and sham RMs. We examined chest radiographs for barotrauma.
Measurements And Main Results: Responses to RMs were variable. Greatest increments from baseline SpO2 within 10 mins after RMs were larger than after sham RMs (1.7 +/- 0.2 vs. 0.6 +/- 0.3 %, mean +/- SEM, p < .01). Systolic blood pressure decreased more +/- 1.1 mm Hg, p < .01). Changes in Fio2/PEEP requirements were not significantly different at any time after RMs vs. sham RMs. Barotrauma was apparent on first radiographs after one RM and one sham RM.
Conclusions: In ALI/ARDS patients receiving mechanical ventilation with low tidal volumes and high PEEP, short-term effects of RMs as conducted in this study are variable. Beneficial effects on gas exchange in responders appear to be of brief duration. More information is needed to determine the role of recruitment maneuvers in the management of ALI/ARDS.

Hip Manipulation Increases Electromyography Amplitude and Hip Joint Performance: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Study.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the impact of hip joint manipulation (HJM) on the activation and strength of the gluteus medius (GM) and tensor fascia latae (TFL) muscles in healthy young adults, as these muscles play a vital role in lower limb and lumbar spine injury rehabilitation.
- - A double-blind controlled trial involved 30 healthy participants who were either subjected to HJM or a sham intervention, with muscle activity measured through surface electromyography before and after the treatments.
- - Results indicated a significant increase in GM muscle activation following HJM, but the overall effects were not statistically or clinically significant compared to the control group for the other muscles analyzed.
Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) induce homologous recombination deficiency in ovarian cancer cells, thus mitigating drug resistance.

Background: Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of mortality among gynecological malignancies. Carboplatin and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) are often implemented in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Homologous recombination deficient (HRD) tumors demonstrate increased sensitivity to these treatments; however, many ovarian cancer patients are homologous recombination proficient (HRP).

Neurogenesis, play a vital role in neuronal plasticity of adult mammalian brains, and its dysregulation is present in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (PD). While subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) at various frequencies has been proven effective in alleviating PD symptoms, its influence on neurogenesis remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of 1-week electrical stimulation at frequencies of 60Hz, 130Hz, and 180Hz on neurogenesis in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of PD rats.

Bisphosphonates (BP) are anti-resorptive drugs that are widely used to prevent bone loss in osteoporosis. Since inhibition of bone resorption will cause a decrease in bone formation through a process called coupling, it is hypothesized that extended treatment protocols may impair bone healing. In this study, β-tri‑calcium-phosphate (βTCP) ceramics were inserted into critical-size long bone defects in estrogen-deficient mice under BP therapy.
