Pre-eclampsia is associated with an increased risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, wheezing and asthma in later childhood. Currently, there are no studies available investigating maternal blood pressure measurements during multiple time-points in pregnancy and respiratory outcome measures in the child.We examined the associations of maternal blood pressure and hypertensive disorders with the risk of lower lung function, wheezing and asthma in children aged 10 years. This study among 4894 children was embedded in a population-based prospective cohort study. We used multivariate analyses, taking lifestyle and socioeconomic factors into account.We observed consistent associations per 5 mmHg higher maternal blood pressure in early pregnancy with a lower forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity ratio (z-score -0.03 (95% CI -0.05- -0.01)) and per 5 mmHg higher blood pressure in late pregnancy with a higher risk for current wheezing and current asthma (OR 1.07 (95% CI 1.02-1.12) and 1.06 (95% CI 1.00-1.11), respectively). We found no associations of maternal hypertensive disorders during pregnancy with child lung function, current wheezing or current asthma.Our results suggest that higher blood pressure in pregnant women is associated with lower lung function and increased risks of current wheezing and current asthma in children. The associations may be trimester specific.

Background: The purpose is to formulate a modified screening protocol for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in patients with respiratory support based on saturation of pulse oximetry (SpO) and inspired oxygen concentration (FiO).
Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted from August to October 2020 at the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Yijishan Hospital Affiliated with Wannan Medical College. All patients admitted during the study period and required arterial blood gas analysis and electrocardiogram monitoring were included in this study.

The mechanical stimulation applied on engineered vascular constructs in perfusion bioreactors has been shown to be beneficial for their maturation. The level of mechanical stimulation applied on these constructs depends on the flow parameters of the circuit (e.g.

Background: With the continuous development of laparoscopic techniques in recent years, laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (LapTME) and laparoscopic-assisted transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) have gradually become important surgical techniques for treating low-lying rectal cancer (LRC). However, there is still controversy over the efficacy and safety of these two surgical modalities in LRC treatment.
Aim: To compare the efficacy of LapTME TaTME in patients with LRC.

Background: Patients after transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI) are at increased risk for infective prosthetic valve endocarditis. Diagnosis of infective endocarditis (IE) following TPVI is particularly difficult due to impaired visualization of the transcatheter pulmonary valve (TPV) with echocardiography [Delgado V, Ajmone Marsan N, de Waha S, Bonaros N, Brida M, Burri H, et al. 2023 ESC guidelines for the management of endocarditis.
