Background: Newborns with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) are at risk of severe hypoxia from inadequate atrial mixing, closure of the arterial duct and/or pulmonary hypertension (PPHN). Acute maternal hyperoxygenation (AMH) might assist in identifying at-risk fetuses. We report pulmonary vasoreactivity to AMH in TGA fetuses and its relationship to early postnatal hypoxia and requirement for emergency balloon atrial septostomy (e-BAS).

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is defined as an acute inflammatory syndrome leading to increased pulmonary capillary leakage and subsequent interstitial and alveolar pulmonary edema. Hypoxia is the predominant symptom. The definition of ARDS comprises acute onset, bilateral patchy infiltration on chest X‑ray and a reduction of the ratio of arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO) to the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO), which also determines the classification into mild (≤ 300), moderate (≤ 200) and severe (≤ 100) ARDS.

Background: Literature regarding the advantages of HFNC in infants for ensuring oxygen supply after non-cardiac surgery is insufficient. The purpose of our study is to compare COT vs. HFNC on postoperative outcomes in infants undergoing non-cardiac surgery.

Background: Pituitary apoplexy (PA) is a rare, life-threatening clinical syndrome that occurs in response to acute ischemic infarction or hemorrhage of a pituitary adenoma. We report two cases of sudden neurologic and visual decline in patients with pituitary region masses in coronavirus disease (COVID)-positive patients with a focus on potential pathophysiological mechanisms and a safe approach to treatment.
Case Description: Case one is a 58-year-old male presenting with sudden-onset headache and visual disturbance.

Introduction: The transition from low to high altitude environments is associated with a multifaceted series of physiological and psychological alterations that manifest over time. These changes are intricately intertwined, with physiological acclimatization primarily mediated through the regulation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), which orchestrates the expression of critical molecules and hormones. This process extends to encompass the epigenome, metabolism, and other regulatory mechanisms.
