Objectives: To understand the role of patient-ventilator asynchrony in the etiology of sleep disruption and determine whether optimizing patient-ventilator interactions by using proportional assist ventilation improves sleep.
Design: Randomized crossover clinical trial.
Setting: A tertiary university medical-surgical intensive care unit.
Patients: Thirteen patients during weaning from mechanical ventilation.
Interventions: Patients were randomized to receive pressure support ventilation or proportional assist ventilation on the first night and then crossed over to the alternative mode for the second night. Polysomnography and measurement of light, noise, esophageal pressure, airway pressure, and flow were performed from 10 pm to 8 am. Ventilator settings (pressure level during pressure support ventilation and resistive and elastic proportionality factors during proportional assist ventilation) were set to obtain a 50% reduction of the inspiratory work (pressure time product per minute) performed during a spontaneous breathing trial.
Measurements And Main Results: Arousals per hour of sleep time during pressure support ventilation were 16 (range 2-74) and 9 (range 1-41) during proportional assist ventilation (p = .02). Overall sleep quality was significantly improved on proportional assist ventilation (p < .05) due to the combined effect of fewer arousals per hour, fewer awakenings per hour (3.5 [0-24] vs. 5.5 [1-24]), and greater rapid eye movement (9% [0-31] vs. 4% [0-23]), and slow wave (3% [0-16] vs. 1% [0-10]) sleep. Tidal volume and minute ventilation were lower on proportional assist ventilation, allowing for a greater increase in Paco2 during the night. Patient-ventilator asynchronies per hour were lower with proportional assist ventilation than with pressure support ventilation (24 +/- 15 vs. 53 +/- 59; p = .02) and correlated with the number of arousals per hour (R = .65, p = .0001).
Conclusions: Patient ventilator discordance causes sleep disruption. Proportional assist ventilation seems more efficacious than pressure support ventilation in matching ventilatory requirements with ventilator assistance, therefore resulting in fewer patient-ventilator asynchronies and better quality of sleep.

Long-term trends in the incidence of male breast cancer and nomogram for predicting survival in male breast cancer patients: a population-based epidemiologic study.

Male breast cancer (MBC) is rare, and due to the absence of male-specific screening programs, many patients are diagnosed at advanced stages and older ages. This study aims to analyze the long-term trend of MBC incidence and develop a competing risk model to improve survival rates. MBC data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (1975-2019) were analyzed using the Age-Period-Cohort (APC) model to examine trends in age, period, and birth cohort effects of MBC incidence.

Background: Whether the intake of whole grain foods can protect against lung cancer is a long-standing question of considerable public health import, but the epidemiologic evidence has been limited. Therefore we aim to investigate the relationship between whole grain food consumption and lung cancer in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial (PLCO) cohort.

Background: The worldwide population is ageing and self-arm can be prevented with many techniques. Among them coercive measure consisting of physical restraint (PR) is one of the techniques. This study aims to assess the effects of the biological sex on the long-term survival after PR in geriatric patients during the initial emergency department (ED) visit.

Background: Older adults with rib fractures pose an increasing clinical and financial burden on healthcare. Identifying and addressing the increased risk of adverse outcomes has been a key objective in geriatric co-management of surgical patients. The Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment-based Frailty Index (FI-CGA) is a useful predictor of complications and mortality in older adults, but its value in rib fracture management remains unclear.

Background: Double cycling with breath-stacking (DC/BS) during controlled mechanical ventilation is considered potentially injurious, reflecting a high respiratory drive. During partial ventilatory support, its occurrence might be attributable to physiological variability of breathing patterns, reflecting the response of the mode without carrying specific risks.
Methods: This secondary analysis of a crossover study evaluated DC/BS events in hypoxemic patients resuming spontaneous breathing in cross-over under neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA), proportional assist ventilation (PAV +), and pressure support ventilation (PSV).
