Purpose: Respiratory rate (RR) is one of the most common vital signs with numerous clinical uses. It is an important indicator of acute illness and a significant change in RR is often an early indication of a potentially serious complication or clinical event such as respiratory tract infection, respiratory failure and cardiac arrest. Early identification of changes in RR allows for prompt intervention, whereas failing to detect a change may result in poor patient outcomes. Here, we report on the performance of a depth-sensing camera system for the continuous non-contact 'touchless' monitoring of Respiratory Rate.
Methods: Seven healthy subjects undertook a range of breathing rates from 4 to 40 breaths-per-minute (breaths/min). These were set rates of 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 breaths/min. In total, 553 separate respiratory rate recordings were captured across a range of conditions including body posture, position within the bed, lighting levels and bed coverings. Depth information was acquired from the scene using an Intel D415 RealSense camera. This data was processed in real-time to extract depth changes within the subject's torso region corresponding to respiratory activity. A respiratory rate RR was calculated using our latest algorithm and output once-per-second from the device and compared to a reference.
Results: An overall RMSD accuracy of 0.69 breaths/min with a corresponding bias of -0.034 was achieved across the target RR range of 4-40 breaths/min. Bland-Altman analysis revealed limits of agreement of -1.42 to 1.36 breaths/min. Three separate sub-ranges of low, normal and high rates, corresponding to < 12, 12-20, > 20 breaths/min, were also examined separately and each found to demonstrate RMSD accuracies of less than one breath-per-minute.
Conclusions: We have demonstrated high accuracy in performance for respiratory rate based on a depth camera system. We have shown the ability to perform well at both high and low rates which are clinically important.

Background: Type 1 diabetes is the most common endocrine health condition among youth. Healthcare professionals must consider evidence-based guidelines in managing children and adolescents with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The current study aims to assess the outcomes of implementing clinical guidelines by the American Diabetes Association to manage DKA among pediatrics in an emergency department in Palestine.

Complex biological systems undergo sudden transitions in their state, which are often preceded by a critical slowing down of dynamics. This results in longer recovery times as systems approach transitions, quantified as an increase in measures such as the autocorrelation and variance. In this study, we analysed paediatric patients in intensive care for whom mechanical ventilation was discontinued through removal of the endotracheal tube (extubation).

This analysis of ADVOCATE evaluated the efficacy and safety of avacopan in patients with ear, nose, throat (ENT), or lung manifestations.
Methods: This post hoc analysis included patients enrolled in ADVOCATE with ENT or lung manifestations at baseline.

Background: Multiplex genetic testing is recommended when treating nonsmall cell lung cancer. A certain percentage of test failures in RNA assays owing to poor surgical specimen quality have been documented, and fixation failure is a possible cause. At our institution, sheet-like fixation is performed to reduce fixation time.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is a major concern due to its astonishing prevalence and high fatality rate, especially among elderly people. Patients suffering from COVID-19 may exhibit immunosuppression in the initial stage of infection, while a cytokine storm can occur when the disease progresses to a severe stage. This inopportune immune rhythm not only makes patients more susceptible to the virus but also leads to numerous complications resulting from the excessive production of inflammatory factors.
