The impact of demographics and positioning on the imaging features of the optic nerve sheath and ophthalmic vessels.
Ultrasound J
January 2025
Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal.
Background: There are significant discrepancies in the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) reported in the literature. We aimed to determine the ultrasonographic imaging features of ONSD and ophthalmic vessels in a healthy population, using a standardized protocol, and to estimate the effect of demographics and positioning changes on imaging measurements.
Methods: We measured the mean values of the ONSD in supine and sitting position and the Doppler imaging parameters of the ophthalmic, central retinal and short posterior ciliary arteries.
Psychosocial Support Needs and Preferences Among Family Caregivers of ICU Patients with Severe Acute Brain Injury: A Qualitative Thematic Analysis.
Neurocrit Care
January 2025
Center for Health Outcomes and Interdisciplinary Research, Department of Psychiatry, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.
Background: Family caregivers of patients with severe acute brain injury (SABI) are at risk for clinically significant chronic emotional distress, including depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress. Existing psychosocial interventions for caregivers of intensive care unit (ICU) patients are not tailored to the unique needs of caregivers of patients with SABI, do not demonstrate long-term efficacy, and may increase caregiver burden. In this study, we explored the needs and preferences for psychosocial services among SABI caregivers to inform the development and adaptation of interventions to reduce their emotional distress during and after their relative's ICU admission.

Importance: Eligibility criteria for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) are designed to select clinically relevant patient populations. However, not all eligibility criteria are strongly justified, potentially excluding marginalized groups, and limiting the generalizability of trial findings.
Objective: To summarize and evaluate the justification of exclusion criteria in published RCTs in critical care medicine.

Institute for Soil Sciences, HUN-REN Centre for Agricultural Research, Fehérvári út 144, Budapest, H- 1116, Hungary.
Agricultural management increases the seasonal dynamics of soil-dwelling organisms compared to natural habitats. Our knowledge is very poor about the relationship between seasonal changes of soil microorganisms and the microbivorous soil arthropods. To reveal these connections, we have to know more about the seasonal changes of soil-dwelling microarthropods in croplands.
