Pulmonary resection under general anesthesia induces various degrees of hypoxemia that adversely impacts on postoperative recovery. Consecutive of 53 patients undergoing anatomical pulmonary resection were enrolled in this study to accurately define predictors of postoperative hypoxemia. Preoperative variables studied included spirometric variables, blood gases, and extent of low attenuation area (below -910 Hounsfield units) on a three-dimensional computed tomography lung model. Arterial oxygen saturation was calculated from arterial partial pressure of oxygen measured 1 day before and 1 day after surgery with patients at rest breathing room air. Postoperatively, the patients were managed according to a standardized regimen. According to stepwise multiple regression analysis, preoperative oxygen saturation and the extent of low attenuation area were selected as the best predictors of postoperative oxygen saturation. Regression equation was generated with these two variables. The predicted postoperative oxygen saturation was significantly dependent on the length of management (P<0.01). Using a radiographic parameter, we established a novel means of predicting postoperative hypoxemia that impacted on postoperative recovery. Because this radiographic parameter was superior to conventional spirometric variables for prediction of postoperative hypoxemia, further confirmation of its usefulness in predicting risk after pulmonary resection is warranted.

Different expression of circulating microRNA profile in tibetan OSAHS with metabolic syndrome patients.

Department of Respiratory medicine, Taian 88 Hospital, Taian, 271000, People's Republic of China.
Recent empirical investigations reinforce the understanding of a profound interconnection between metabolic functions and Obstructive Sleep Apnea-hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS). This study identifies distinctive miRNA signatures in OSAHS with Metabolic Syndrome (Mets) patients from healthy subjects, that could serve as diagnostic biomarkers or describe differential molecular mechanisms with potential therapeutic implications. In this study, OSAHS with MetS patients showed significantly higher Apnea Hyponea Index(AHI), but lower oxygen desaturation index(ODI 4/h) and minimum pulse oxygen saturation(SpO).

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of thoracoscopic minimally invasive surgery with nickel-titanium shape memory alloy wrap bone plate versus rib periosteal internal fixation in patients with multiple rib fractures (MRF) and flail chest.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 100 patients with MRF and flail chest treated with thoracoscopic minimally invasive surgery and internal fixation with rib fracture preservation between January 2019 and December 2022, including 54 males and 46 females, aged from 20 to 65 years old, with an average age of (38.0±18.
Associations of Short-Term Ozone Exposure With Hypoxia and Arterial Stiffness.

Background: Epidemiological studies reported associations between ozone (O) exposure and cardiovascular diseases, yet the biological mechanisms remain underexplored. Hypoxia is a shared pathogenesis of O-associated diseases; therefore, we hypothesized that O exposure may induce changes in hypoxia-related markers, leading to adverse cardiovascular effects.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate associations of short-term O exposure with hypoxic biomarkers and arterial stiffness.
Impact of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure on Patient Outcomes in Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema Within Physician-Led Prehospital Care.

Faculty of Medicine, University of Sarajevo, 71000 Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Background: CPAP has been shown to be particularly beneficial in the management of acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema by reducing both preload and afterload, thus decreasing the work of breathing and improving oxygenation.
Methods: This study was a prospective observational study, conducted in the period from 2022 to 2024, assessing the effectiveness and safety of prehospital CPAP therapy use in patients with acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema, administered alongside standard care.
Results: In this study, 50 patients with acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema were treated by physician-led emergency teams in the Canton of Sarajevo.
