The purpose of this study was to explore mitochondrial activities after oxygen inhalation by 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Six healthy volunteers were studied using a GE 3T scanner. A spin-echo MRS sequence was utilized with a GE service coil. TR was 2000 msec and TE 35 msec with 128 scan averages. Before 31P scan, a 1H MRS pre-scan was performed to obtain shimming values. Exact two 31P scans were performed before and after oxygen inhalation through nasal cannula at a flow rate of 10 L/min. Data were processed offline using the SAGE/IDL software. Peak integral values of inorganic phosphor, phosphocreatine, and ATPs were measured. Peak integral values of inorganic phosphor were decreased from 1.44% to 16.62% (mean+/-SD, 8.2+/-4.60). Peak integral values of phosphocreatine were increased from 1.06% to 8.64% (4.54+/-2.74). Peak integral values of gammaATP were increased from 0.75% to 15.97% (5.94+/-6.10); alphaATP from 1.21% to 16.05% (7.04+/-6.14); betaATP from 1.01% to 7.12% (3.08+/-2.30). Brain mitochondrial activities were increased and more ATPs were produced after oxygen inhalation in healthy volunteers.

Background: Plasma exchange (PE) removes high-molecular-weight substances and is sometimes used for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) with alveolar hemorrhage. Hypotension during PE is rare, except in allergic cases. We report a case of shock likely caused by increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) during PE.

Introduction: Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is frequently considered and implemented to help manage patients with cardiogenic shock from acute poisoning. However, utilization of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in acutely poisoned patients is largely unknown.
Method: We conducted a retrospective study analyzing the epidemiologic, clinical characteristics and survival of acutely poisoned patients placed on veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation using the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry.

: Metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) and dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are common inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) inhaler devices. The difference in formulation and administration technique of these devices may influence oral cavity microbiota composition. We aimed to compare the saliva microbiome in children with moderate-to-severe asthma using ICS via MDIs versus DPIs.
