Objectives: To evaluate reliability and feasibility of the respiratory variability of pulmonary velocity-time integral as a new dynamic marker of fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients.
Design: Prospective observational study.
Setting: Medical-surgical ICU of a general hospital.
Patients: Fifty mechanically ventilated patients with acute circulatory failure.
Interventions: Transthoracic echocardiography was performed at inclusion (transthoracic echocardiography baseline). Fluid therapy was prescribed to patients exhibiting one value greater than or equal to 13% among commonly used variables of fluid responsiveness: respiratory variability of aortic velocity-time integral, respiratory variability of inferior vena cava diameter, or pulse pressure variation.
Measurements And Main Results: Respiratory variability of pulmonary velocity-time integral was assessed at baseline. Respiratory variability of pulmonary velocity-time integral was significantly greater in patients who received fluid therapy (26.9 ± 12.5% vs 6.2 ± 4.3%; p < 0.0001). Respiratory variability of pulmonary velocity-time integral was correlated with respiratory variability of aortic velocity-time integral (r = 0.75; p < 0.0001), respiratory variability of inferior vena cava diameter (r = 0.42; p < 0.01), and pulse pressure variation (r = 0.87; p < 0.0001) at baseline and with the relative increase in cardiac output after fluid therapy (r = 0.44; p = 0.019). Fluid responsiveness was defined as a 10% increase in cardiac output after fluid therapy, assessed by a second transthoracic echocardiography. Respiratory variability of pulmonary velocity-time integral was associated with fluid responsiveness (adjusted odds ratio, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.08-2.32; p = 0.002). Area under the receiver operating characteristics curve was 0.972, and a value of respiratory variability of pulmonary velocity-time integral greater than or equal to 14% yielded a sensitivity of 92% and specificity of 87% to predict fluid responsiveness. Interobserver reproducibility was excellent (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.94).
Conclusions: Respiratory variability of pulmonary velocity-time integral is a simple and reliable marker of fluid responsiveness for ventilated patients in ICU.

Variability in Vaccine Response and Trajectory in Early Childhood and Association with Demographic Variables, Antibiotic Exposure and Infection Proneness.

Introduction: We sought to explore the variability of antibody responses to multiple vaccines during early life in individual children, assess the trajectory of each child longitudinally, determine the associations of demographic variables and antibiotic exposures with vaccine-induced immunity, and link vaccine responsiveness to infection proneness.
Methods: In 357 prospectively-recruited children, age six through 36 months, antibody levels to 13 routine vaccine antigens were measured in sera at multiple time points and normalized to their respective protective thresholds to categorize children into four groups: very low, low, normal, and high vaccine responder. Demographic variables and frequency of antibiotic exposure data were collected.
Progressive central cardiorespiratory rate downregulation and intensifying epilepsy lead to sudden unexpected death in epilepsy in mouse model of the most common human ATP1A3 mutation.

Division of Pediatric Neurology and Developmental Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, USA.
Objective: This study was undertaken to test the following hypotheses in the Atp1a3 mouse (which carries the most common human ATP1A3 (the major subunit of the neuronal Na/K-adenosine triphosphatase [ATPase]) mutation, D801N): sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) occurs during seizures and is due to terminal apneas in some and due to lethal cardiac arrhythmias in others; and Atp1a3 mice have central cardiorespiratory dysregulation and abnormal respiratory drive.
Methods: Comparison was made of littermate wild-type and Atp1a3 groups using (1) simultaneous in vivo video-telemetry recordings of electroencephalogram, electrocardiogram, and breathing; (2) whole-body plethysmography; and (3) hypoglossal nerve recordings.
Results: In Atp1a3 mice, (1) SUDEP consistently occurred during seizures that were more severe than preterminal seizures; (2) seizure clustering occurred in periods preceding SUDEP; (3) slowing of breathing rate (BR) and heart rate was observed preictally before preterminal and terminal seizures; and (4) the sequence during terminal seizures was as follows: bradypnea with bradycardia/cardiac arrhythmias, then terminal apnea, followed by terminal cardiac arrhythmias.
Enlarged airspaces in the distal lung in adolescents born very preterm as measured by aerosol.
BMJ Open Respir Res
December 2024
Department of Design Sciences, Lund University, Lund, Sweden
Rationale: Preterm infants diagnosed with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) are thought to have fewer and larger alveoli than their term peers, but it is unclear to what degree this persists later in life.
Objectives: To investigate to what degree the distal airspaces are enlarged in adolescents born preterm and to evaluate the new Airspace Dimension Assessment (AiDA) method in investigating this group.
Methods: We investigated 41 adolescents between 15 and 17 years of age, of whom 25 were born very preterm (a gestational age <31 weeks, with a mean of 26 weeks) and 16 were term-born controls.
The Role of Rapid Maxillary Expansion in the Management of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea: Monitoring Respiratory Parameters-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a sleep-related breathing condition that involves the presence of episodic disruptions to the sleeping pattern due to partial or complete airway obstruction. There are a range of treatment options that exist to alleviate the symptoms of this condition including CPAP, mandibular advancement, and maxillary expansion techniques. This systematic review and meta-analysis of published articles aims to determine if rapid maxillary expansion ("RME") is an effective treatment option in the management of OSA, using quantitative parameters of AHI and SpO.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory respiratory disease that affects millions globally and poses a serious public health challenge. Current therapeutic strategies, including corticosteroids, are constrained by variable patient responses and adverse effects. In this study, a polyphenolic extract derived from the Tibetan medicinal plant Trimen (SRT) was employed and shown to improve experimentally (ovalbumin + cigarette smoke, OVA + CS) induced asthma in rats.
