AI Article Synopsis
- The article discusses how adenotonsillectomy, a common surgery to treat sleep-disordered breathing in children, has not completely resolved the issue for some patients.
- It highlights that mild malocclusions, which are slight misalignments of teeth, may contribute more significantly to sleep issues than previously thought.
- The author suggests that a better understanding of dental and jaw relationships is necessary for improving treatment outcomes for sleep-disordered breathing.
Article Abstract
Boyd KL. A century of adenotonsillectomy’s failure to fully resolve sleep-disordered breathing: mild malocclusions are maybe not so mild? . 2020;16(8):1229–1230.

Determining the optimal antibiotic duration for skin and soft tissue infections.
Curr Opin Infect Dis
January 2025
Department of Medicine, Clínica Rotger Quironsalud, Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
Purpose Of Review: Optimal duration of therapy in SSTIs - a heterogeneous group of infections - remains unknown. The advances in knowledge of antibiotic duration of treatment in selected SSTIs that can impact clinical practice and published in the last 18 months are reviewed.
Recent Findings: Recent evidence indicates that few patients receive guideline concordant empiric antibiotics and appropriate duration in the United States, although this likely can be extrapolated to other countries.
Echinacoside alleviates Ang II-induced cardiac fibrosis by enhancing the SIRT1/IL-11 pathway.

Department of Cardiology, Shanghai Pudong New Area Zhoupu Hospital (Shanghai Health Medical College Affiliated Zhoupu Hospital Shanghai.
Objectives: Echinacoside (ECH) is an anti-fibrotic phenylethanoid glycoside derived from the plant that protects against cardiac dysfunction by mitigating apoptosis, oxidative stress, and fibrosis. Nevertheless, ECH's precise function and mechanisms in addressing cardiac fibrosis are still not fully understood.
Materials And Methods: In our current investigation, we induced cardiac fibrosis in mice by administering Angiotensin II (Ang II) and subsequently assessed the effects of ECH treatment four weeks post-fibrosis induction.
A spectroradiometer serves as a powerful instrument for measuring the spectral radiance of a target. The spectral radiance calibration function determines the measurement accuracy of the spectroradiometer. However, the general full-field calibration method results in higher spectral radiance values when dealing with targets that only partially fill the field of view (FOV).

Institute of Anesthesia and Intensive Care, Padova University Hospital, Padua, Italy.
Background: Prone position has been diffusely applied in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients. Our aim is ascertaining the association between the physiologic response and the length of the first cycle of prone position and intensive care unit (ICU) mortality.
Methods: International registry including COVID-19 adult patients who underwent prone positioning.
Clinical characteristics and predictive biomarkers of intensive care unit-acquired weakness in patients with cardiogenic shock requiring mechanical circulatory support.

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University, 3-1-1 Maidashi, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka, 812-8582, Fukuoka, Japan.
Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is recognized as newly-acquired bilateral muscle weakness, which is a complication of critical illness in the ICU; however, there are no reports on the pathogenesis and early predictors of ICU-AW specifically associated with cardiogenic shock (CS). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of ICU-AW in patients with CS requiring mechanical circulatory support (MCS). This study was a single-center, prospective, and observational study.
