Non-invasive depth-resolved measurement of hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SaO(2)) levels in discrete blood vessels may have implications for diagnosis and treatment of various pathologies. We introduce a novel Dual-Wavelength Photothermal (DWP) Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) for non-invasive depth-resolved measurement of SaO(2) levels in a blood vessel phantom. DWP OCT SaO(2) is linearly correlated with blood-gas SaO(2) measurements. We demonstrate 6.3% precision in SaO(2) levels measured a phantom blood vessel using DWP-OCT with 800 and 765 nm excitation wavelengths. Sources of uncertainty in SaO(2) levels measured with DWP-OCT are identified and characterized.

Association between cerebral oxygenation and usual parameters of cerebral perfusion in critically ill patients with acute brain injury.

In patients with acute brain injury (ABI), optimizing cerebral perfusion parameters relies on multimodal monitoring. This include data from systemic monitoring-mean arterial pressure (MAP), arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO), arterial oxygen saturation (SaO), hemoglobin levels (Hb), and temperature-as well as neurological monitoring-intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), and transcranial Doppler (TCD) velocities. We hypothesized that these parameters alone were not sufficient to assess the risk of cerebral ischemia.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify serum surfactant protein D (SP-D) levels that can aid in the diagnosis and prognosis of COVID-19, while also developing a new prognostic scale called the CHARISMA Score.
- Researchers conducted assessments on 64 COVID-19 patients and 16 healthy individuals, comparing various subgroups based on factors such as PCR results and severity of illness, ultimately finding significant differences in serum SP-D levels.
- Results indicated that higher SP-D levels and CHARISMA scores correlated with greater disease severity and mortality risk, establishing the potential of these measures for predicting patient outcomes in COVID-19 pneumonia.
Control of Cardiac Output with Ivabradine or Beta-Blockers for Refractory Hypoxemia under Veno-Venous ECMO for Severe ARDS.

Purpose: Hypoxemia is a risk factor for mortality and long-term neuropsychological impairment during severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a potential treatment for such cases but may not suffice. We aimed to evaluate the effects of pharmacological interventions for cardiac output (CO) control using ivabradine or beta-blockers for refractory hypoxemia during VV-ECMO.

Plateau acclimatization involves adaptive changes in the body's neurohumoral regulation and metabolic processes due to hypoxic conditions at high altitudes. This study utilizes Olink targeted proteomics to analyze serum protein expression differences in Han Chinese individuals acclimatized for 6 months-1 year at 4500 and 5300 m altitudes, compared to those residing at sea level. The objective is to elucidate the proteins' roles in tissue and cellular adaptation to hypoxia.

Background: In neonates with congenital heart disease (CHD), myocardial remodelling involves activation of inflammatory pathways. The role of hypoxemia related pathways is however unknown. This study was therefore designed to investigate myocardial mRNA expression of interleukin (IL)-6 and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α in neonates with CHD and analyse its influence on post-operative outcome.
