The spread of novel coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) urged a never‐seen coordinated global response to prepare the health system, including primary care, hospital facilities and intensive care units (ICUs). Lessons have been learned from countries who suffered the pandemic at the beginning, helping the ones which are on different phases of the spreading curve. Currently, optimizing intensive care resources is mandatory as admittance to the ICUs remains rising exponentially. While public and private health system struggle for changing the slope of the curve, intensivists prepare the facilities for a tsunami of respiratory failure patients with COVID‐19.

XOR-Derived ROS in Tie2-Lineage Cells Including Endothelial Cells Promotes Aortic Aneurysm Progression in Marfan Syndrome.
Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol
January 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, The University of Tokyo, Bunkyo-ku, Japan. (H. Yagi, H.A., Q.L., A.S.-K., M.U., H.K., R.M., A.S., S.O., H.T., Norifumi Takeda, I.K.).
Background: Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an inherited disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding fibrillin-1, a matrix component of extracellular microfibrils. The main cause of morbidity and mortality in MFS is thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection, but the underlying mechanisms remain undetermined.
Methods: To elucidate the role of endothelial XOR (xanthine oxidoreductase)-derived reactive oxygen species in aortic aneurysm progression, we inhibited in vivo function of XOR either by endothelial cell (EC)-specific disruption of the gene or by systemic administration of an XOR inhibitor febuxostat in MFS mice harboring the missense mutation p.
Reporting completeness and methodological quality of guidelines for nutritional care of critically ill patients: A meta-research utilizing Reporting Items for practice Guidelines in HealTh Care (RIGHT) and Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation (AGREE II).

January 2025
Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre, Department of Nutrition, Postgraduate Program in Health Sciences, Porto Alegre, Brazil.
Studies have demonstrated that the quality and transparency of reporting Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) in healthcare are low. This meta-research aimed to evaluate the adherence of nutrition CPGs for critically ill adults to the reporting RIGHT checklist and its association with the methodological quality assessed by AGREE II, along with other potential publication-related factors. A systematic search for CPGs until December 2024 was conducted.

Background: Acute aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular emergency with high mortality rates. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a critical complication in patients with acute aortic dissection; however, its incidence and impact on outcomes remain inconclusive.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate DIC prevalence and prognosis in patients with aortic dissection.
Re-evaluating large for gestational age: differential effects on perinatal outcomes in term and premature births.
Front Med (Lausanne)
January 2025
Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Department of Internal Medicine, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.
Objective: Pregnancies with large-for-gestational-age (LGA) fetuses are associated with increased risks of various adverse perinatal outcomes. While existing research primarily focuses on term neonates, less is known about preterm neonates. This study aims to explore the risks of adverse maternal and neonatal perinatal outcomes associated with LGA in term neonates and neonates with different degrees of prematurity, compared to appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) neonates.
