Objective: To compare the impact of assist-control ventilation (ACV) and pressure support ventilation with 6 cmH2O inspiratory pressure (low PSV) on sleep quality.
Design: Prospective randomized cross-over study.
Patients: Twenty intubated and mechanically ventilated patients for acute on chronic respiratory failure.
Measurements: Patients were monitored by standard polysomnography at the end of their weaning period. Patients were assigned to receive either ACV from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. and low PSV from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. (ACV/low PSV group) or low PSV from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. and ACV from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. (low PSV/ACV group).
Results: There were significant increases in stages 1 and 2 non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and reduction in wakefulness during the first part of the night and significant increases in stages 3 and 4 NREM sleep during the second part of the night were observed with ACV compared to low PSV. A significant negative correlation was observed between the perceived sleep quality and the amount of wakefulness while the amount of stage 2 NREM sleep was positively correlated with perceived sleep quality.
Conclusions: ACV was significantly associated with a better sleep quality than those recorded during pressure support. The perception of sleep quality appeared to be better with ACV than with low PSV. On the basis of these results we recommend that intubated and mechanically ventilated patients for acute on chronic respiratory failure should be reventilated at night during their weaning period.

Background: Postoperative extubation is a critical phase. Various medications and different ventilation modes are employed during extubation to minimize potential issues. This study aimed to observe the early effects of the concurrent use of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and pressure support ventilation (PSV) modes during the extubation-emerge period on the respiratory system.

Background: The lower limb venous system, a subject of extensive study due to its high clinical significance on deep vein thrombosis, presents a rare, intriguing, symmetrical variant in this dissection report.
Case Report: We present the uncommon and clinically meaningful bilateral persistent sciatic vein (PSV) variant. The developmental variant was symmetrically detected during a dissection of an 81-year-old female donated cadaver.

Background: Pressure support ventilation (PSV) is one of the most frequently used ventilator modes in the intensive care unit (ICU). The successful implementation of PSV depends on matching the patient's inspiratory effort with the ventilator support. In clinical practice, the pressure support level is usually set and adjusted according to tidal volume and respiratory rate.

Background: Renal blood flow (RBF) is regulated by an autonomic nervous system and is reduced in older adults. Massage has been previously found to increase blood flow.
Objective: This two-armed double-blind, randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate the immediate effects of Thai foot massage (TFM) on RBF, psychological stress, and heart rate variability (HRV) in older adult persons.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the relationship between polygenic scores for coronary heart disease (CHD) and coronary artery calcium (CAC) in adults aged 75 and older, suggesting that genetic factors may influence arterial aging beyond traditional risk factors.
- Researchers analyzed data from 1,865 participants, finding that higher polygenic CHD risk scores were associated with significantly lower odds of having no CAC and much higher odds of having high CAC levels.
- Each standard deviation increase in the polygenic risk score corresponded to a 78% increase in CAC scores, indicating a strong link between genetic predisposition and arterial health in older adults.
