Objective: To compare equal pressure method with pressure-volume curve method to quantify the recruited volume.
Methods: Acute respiratory distress syndrome sheep model was induced by intravenous infusion 3 microg/kg lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Recruited volume of three different levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP=5, 10, 15 cm H2O) were measured both by pressure-volume curve method and by equal pressure method.
Results: The time needed to measure recruited volume by pressure-volume curve method was 5-6 minutes, which was longer than that of equal pressure method. Recruited volume measured by the two methods increased with PEEP. No significant difference was found between the recruited volume measured by equal pressure method and by equal pressure method at PEEP of 5 cm H2O, they were (25.79+/-20.48) ml vs. (63.26+/-54.57) ml (P>0.05), while recruited volume at PEEP of 10 cm H2O and 15 cm H2O measured by equal pressure method were lower than those measured by the pressure-volume curve method, they were (48.64+/-30.51)ml vs. (148.14+/-85.42)ml and (71.50+/-58.09)ml vs. (322.86+/-148.42)ml (all P<0.05) respectively.
Conclusion: Though equal pressure method is simple, it could not take the place of pressure-volume curve method to quantify recruited volume.

Cognitive reserve is associated with education, social determinants, and cognitive outcomes among older American Indians in the Strong Heart Study.
Commun Psychol

University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA.
Cognitive reserve, a component of resilience, may be conceptualized as the ability to overcome accumulating neuropathology and maintain healthy aging and function. However, research measuring and evaluating it in American Indians is needed. We recruited American Indians from 3 regional centers for longitudinal examinations (2010-13, n = 818; 2017-19, n = 403) including MRI, cognitive, clinical, and questionnaire data.

Importance: Nelonemdaz selectively antagonizes the 2B subunit of the N-methyl-d-aspartate glutamate receptor and scavenges free radical species.
Objective: To evaluate whether nelonemdaz enhances the clinical outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing emergent reperfusion therapy.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This multicenter double-blind placebo-controlled randomized phase 3 trial (December 25, 2021, to June 30, 2023, in South Korea) recruited patients with acute ischemic stroke who met the following criteria: National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score greater than or equal to 8, Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography score greater than or equal to 4, and endovascular thrombectomy within 12 hours after stroke onset.
Microcirculatory depth of focus measurement shows reduction of tissue edema by albumin resuscitation in burn patients.

Association of Dutch Burn Centres, Burn Centre Maasstad Hospital, Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Background: Severe burns induce volume shifts via capillary leaks, eventually requiring massive fluid resuscitation and promoting tissue edema. Albumin may help to mitigate the edema, thereby improving perfusion. This study shows that sublingual microcirculation measurements can quantify both tissue perfusion and edema.

Neurodegeneration is presumed to be the pathological process measure most proximal to clinical symptom onset in Alzheimer Disease (AD). Structural MRI is routinely collected in research and clinical trial settings. Several quantitative MRI-based measures of atrophy have been proposed, but their low correspondence with each other has been previously documented.

Background: The Fontan procedure is a surgical intervention designed for patients with single ventricle physiology, wherein the systemic venous return is redirected into the pulmonary circulation, thereby facilitating passive pulmonary blood flow without the assistance of ventricular propulsion. Consequently, long-term follow-up of individuals who have undergone the asymptomatic Fontan procedure is essential.
Objectives: The aims of this investigation were to: 1) examine the impact of flow components and kinetic energy (KE) parameters on hemodynamic disturbances in asymptomatic Fontan patients and control group; 2) Assess left ventricular diastolic dysfunction through the analysis of 4D flow parameters across different Fontan sub-groups; 3) Compare intracardiac flow parameters among Fontan sub-groups based on morphological features of the left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV).
