Clinical presentation of hypopituitarism may be variable in the neonate. Symptoms are generally nonspecific, ranging from absent to severe, and even life-threatening, due to adrenocorticotrophic hormone deficiency. Presently described is a case of unexplained respiratory distress and edema in a neonate. Initial screening revealed panhypopituitarism. Respiratory distress improved after replacement treatment with hydrocortisone and thyroxine.

: To explore the clinical value of miR-193a-5p in neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and its role in ARDS cell model . : RT-qPCR was utilized to detect miR-193a-5p level. Correlation analysis was implemented to assess the correlation between miR-193a-5p and clinical indicators (IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, LUS).

Introduction: In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, mechanical ventilation often leads to ventilation-induced lung injury (VILI), which is attributed to unphysiological lung strain (UPLS) in respiratory dynamics. Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1), a transmembrane receptor, senses mechanical signals. The Src/STAT3 pathway plays a crucial role in the mechanotransduction network, concurrently triggering pyroptosis related inflammatory responses.

Objective: Trauma-related Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (TR-ARDS) mortality ranges from 30 to 80%. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has demonstrated a survival benefit in select cases of TR-ARDS. In order to provide improved patient selection, we evaluated predictors of mortality in TR-ARDS patients receiving ECMO, hypothesizing age and severe thoracic trauma as risk factors for mortality.

Background: Leptospirosis is an acute zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic , primarily transmitted to humans through contact with water or soil contaminated by the bacteria. It is globally distributed, with heightened prevalence in tropical regions. While prior studies have examined the pathophysiology, epidemiology, and risk factors of leptospirosis, few have explored trends and emerging topics in the field.

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is characterized by fever, fatigue, dry cough, dyspnea, mild pneumonia and acute lung injury (ALI), which can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and SARS-CoV-2 can accelerate tumor progression. However, the molecular mechanism for the increased mortality in cancer patients infected with COVID-19 is unclear.
Methods: Colony formation and wound healing assays were performed on Huh-7 cells cocultured with syncytia.
