Background: Respiratory variations in arterial pulse pressure (DeltaPP) are accurate predictors of fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients. The aim of our study was to assess the ability of a novel algorithm for automatic estimation of stroke volume variation (SVV) to predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients.
Methods: We studied 25 patients referred for coronary artery bypass grafting. SVV was continuously displayed by the Vigileo/FloTrac system. All patients were under general anesthesia, mechanical ventilation and were also monitored with a pulmonary artery catheter. SVV and DeltaPP were recorded simultaneously before and after an intravascular volume expansion (VE) (500 mL hetastarch). Responders to VE were defined as patients whose cardiac index obtained using thermodilution increased by more than 15% after VE.
Results: Agreement between DeltaPP and SVV over the 50 pairs of collected data was -1.3% +/- 2.8% (mean bias +/- sd). Seventeen patients were responders to VE. A threshold DeltaPP value of 10% allowed discrimination of responders to VE with a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 87%. A threshold SVV value of 10% allowed discrimination of responders to VE with a sensitivity of 82% and a specificity of 88%.
Conclusion: SVV predicts fluid responsiveness with an acceptable sensitivity and specificity and is also a potential surrogate for continuous monitoring of DeltaPP.

Introduction: Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) have been proven to aggravate asthma pathogenesis. We previously demonstrated that concurrent exposure to house dust mite (HDM) and DEP in mice increases both eosinophils and neutrophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and also results in higher levels of neutrophil-recruiting chemokines and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation compared to sole HDM, sole DEP or saline exposure. We aimed to evaluate whether treatment with anti-IL-5 can alleviate the asthmatic features in this mixed granulocytic asthma model.

Mucosal antigen-specific T cells are pivotal for pathogen clearance and immune modulation in respiratory infections. Dysregulated T cell responses exacerbate coronavirus disease 2019 severity, marked by cytokine storms and respiratory failure. Despite extensive description in peripheral blood, the characteristics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-specific T cells in the lungs remain elusive.

The evolving landscape of graduate medical education (GME) necessitates innovative approaches to residency program evaluation and improvement. At Detroit Medical Center/Wayne State University, a novel resident-led Program Improvement Committee (PIC) was established in June 2022 within the Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program. The PIC serves as a flexible, resident-driven structure designed to enhance engagement, provide continuous feedback, and implement actionable solutions in collaboration with residency leadership.

Coats-like response refers to a condition where abnormal telangiectatic retinal vessels and aneurysms associated with subretinal exudation are seen in the setting of other ocular or systemic diseases. So far, it has been described with various ocular disorders like retinitis pigmentosa, chronic ischemic branch retinal vein obstruction and pars planitis. A man in his 30s presented with a 1-month history of diminution of vision in the left eye.

Object: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) have a high risk of serious infection, in particular severe pneumonia. This study aimed to investigate the transcriptional landscape, lower respiratory tract (LRT) microbiome and metabolomic profiles in the lung of RA-ILD patients with pneumonia.
Method: A total of 10 RA-ILD with pneumonia were enrolled in this study.
