This report describes and contextualizes the high prevalence of mental health conditions (MHC) among Minnesota 2019 EVALI patients by examining the prevalence of MHC and associations between MHC and e-cigarette or vaping product (EVP) use in Minnesota population surveys. Investigators reviewed medical records for 140 EVALI patients to determine history of MHC. History of MHC and EVP use in the general population was estimated using self-reported measures and screening tools from two population-based surveys, the 2019 Minnesota Student Survey (MSS) and the 2018 Minnesota Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (MN-BRFSS). Some 64.3% of EVALI patients had an MHC. In both Minnesota population surveys, MHCs were common among people who used EVP. The odds of MHC among youth aged <18 were higher among those who reported current EVP use compared with those did not report EVP use. Similarly, the odds of depression were higher among adults who reported current EVP use compared with those who did not. Clinicians treating patients with EVALI should consider evaluating the need for, and providing indicated referrals to, post-discharge mental health services for their patients.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a novel class of targeted anti-tumor medications that utilize the covalent linkage between monoclonal antibodies and cytotoxic agents. This unique mechanism combines the cytotoxic potency of drugs with the targeting specificity conferred by antigen recognition. However, it is essential to recognize that many ADCs still face challenges related to off-target toxicity akin to cytotoxic payloads, as well as targeted toxicity and other potential life-threatening adverse effects, such as treatment-induced interstitial lung injury.

Aim: Intraoperative lung-protective ventilation strategies (LPVS) have been shown to improve lung oxygenation and prevent postoperative pulmonary problems in surgical patients. However, the application of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)-based LPVS in emergency traumatic brain injury (TBI) has not been thoroughly explored. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of drive pressure-guided individualized PEEP on perioperative pulmonary oxygenation, postoperative pulmonary complications, and recovery from neurological injury in patients with TBI.

Background: Patients receiving chest radiation therapy, or exposed to high radiation levels due to accidental nuclear leakage are at risk of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI). In innate immunity, macrophages not only exhibit certain radiation tolerance but also play an important regulatory role in the whole pathological process. Nervonic acid (NA), a long-chain unsaturated fatty acid found in nerve tissue, plays a pivotal role in maintaining normal tissue growth and repair.

Background: Cell-free hemoglobin (CFH) and free heme are potent mediators of endotheliopathy and organ injury in sepsis, but their roles in other hemolytic pathologies are not well-defined. A prime example is trauma where early hemolysis may initiate damage and predict outcome. Here, we investigated the presence of plasma CFH, heme, and their major scavengers after traumatic injury.

Paediatric critical care units are designed for children at a vulnerable stage of development, yet the evidence base for practice and policy in paediatric critical care remains scarce. In this Health Policy, we present a roadmap providing strategic guidance for international paediatric critical care trials. We convened a multidisciplinary group of 32 paediatric critical care experts from six continents representing paediatric critical care research networks and groups.
