Purpose: To determine the relationship between the pulse oximetric saturation to fraction of inspired oxygen (SF) ratio and the arterial partial pressure of oxygen to the fraction of inspired oxygen (PF) ratio, and to assess the usefulness of the SF ratio in an automated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) screening tool.
Material And Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study using the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care II database. The relationship was derived and validated in all patients ventilated for at least 24 hours.
Results: The total data set included 7544 paired measurements from 3767 intensive care unit admissions. The correlation between SF ratio and PF ratio in the whole data set was good (Spearman ρ = 0.72, P < .001). An automated ARDS diagnostic tool using the derived SF cutoff had excellent agreement with the same tool using the PF ratio of 300 (κ = 0.87).
Conclusion: The SF ratio may be an adequate substitute for the PF ratio in an automated ARDS screening tool.

Waste pile substrates from Fe mining may carry potentially toxic elements (PTE). Rehabilitation efforts must maintain soil vegetation cover effectively, avoiding the dispersion of particulate matter and reducing the risk to the environment and human health. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the pseudo-total and extractable contents, perform chemical fractionation, and assess the bioaccessibility and risk of PTE in waste piles of Fe mining in the Eastern Amazon.

: Attaining adequate oxygenation in critically ill patients undergoing invasive ventilation necessitates intense monitoring through pulse oximetry (SpO) and frequent manual adjustments of ventilator settings like the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO) and the level of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Our aim was to compare the quality of oxygenation with the use of automated ventilation provided by INTELLiVENT-Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV) vs. ventilation that is not automated, i.

The stress distribution within the struts of lattice metamaterials is non-uniform under compressive loads, with stress concentrations typically occurring at the node regions. Inspired by bamboo, this study proposes a type of body-centered cubic (BCC) lattice metamaterial with tapered prism struts (BCCT). The compressive behavior, deformation modes, mechanical properties, and failure mechanisms of BCCT lattice metamaterials are systematically analyzed using finite element methods and validated through compression tests.

Chronic pain alters the configuration of brain functional networks. Primary dysmenorrhea (PDM) is a form of chronic visceral pain, which has been identified spatial alterations in brain functional networks using static functional connectivity analysis methods. However, the dynamics alterations of brain functional networks during pain-free periovulation phase remain unclear.

Purpose: To use imaging data from stereotactic MR-guided online adaptive radiotherapy (SMART) of ultracentral lung tumors (ULT) for development of a safe non-adaptive approach towards stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) of ULT.
Patients And Methods: Analysis is based on 19 patients with ULT who received SMART (10 × 5.0-5.
