Introduction: High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a respiratory support measure for coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) patients that has been increasingly used in the emergency department (ED). Although the respiratory rate oxygenation (ROX) index can predict HFNC success, its utility in emergency COVID-19 patients has not been well-established. Also, no studies have compared it to its simpler component, the oxygen saturation to fraction of inspired oxygen (SpO2/FiO2 [SF]) ratio, or its modified version incorporating heart rate. Therefore, we aimed to compare the utility of the SF ratio, the ROX index (SF ratio/respiratory rate), and the modified ROX index (ROX index/heart rate) in predicting HFNC success in emergency COVID-19 patients.
Methods: We conducted this multicenter retrospective study at five EDs in Thailand between January-December 2021. Adult patients with COVID-19 treated with HFNC in the ED were included. The three study parameters were recorded at 0 and 2 hours. The primary outcome was HFNC success, defined as no requirement of mechanical ventilation at HFNC termination.
Results: A total of 173 patients were recruited; 55 (31.8%) had successful treatment. The two-hour SF ratio yielded the highest discrimination capacity (AUROC 0.651, 95% CI 0.558-0.744), followed by two-hour ROX and modified ROX indices (AUROC 0.612 and 0.606, respectively). The two-hour SF ratio also had the best calibration and overall model performance. At its optimal cut-point of 128.19, it gave a balanced sensitivity (65.3%) and specificity (61.8%). The two-hour SF≥128.19 was also significantly and independently associated with HFNC failure (adjusted odds ratio 0.29, 95% CI 0.13-0.65; P=0.003).
Conclusion: The SF ratio predicted HFNC success better than the ROX and modified ROX indices in ED patients with COVID-19. With its simplicity and efficiency, it may be the appropriate tool to guide management and ED disposition for COVID-19 patients receiving HFNC in the ED.

A lab-made screen-printed electrode based on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) substrate modified with a hybrid film containing gold nanoparticles-decorated graphene (AuNPs-GRA/PET-SPE) was employed for the voltammetric determination of Roxarsone (ROX) in chicken purge and river water samples. The electrode exhibited an increased electroactive area and enhanced charge transfer due to the nanostructured matrix. The electrochemical determination involved a preconcentration approach with a reduction step of ROX at a constant potential of -0.

Background: We compared the modified ROX index and ROX index scores in earlier predictions of high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) therapy outcomes in patients with acute respiratory failure.
Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study on 151 acute respiratory failure patients initiated on HFNO therapy. The primary objective of this research was to compare the modified ROX index and ROX index to investigate which score predicted HFNO treatment outcome earlier.

Cystobactamids have a unique oligoarylamide structure and exhibit broad-spectrum activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. In this study, the central α-amino acid of the cystobactamid scaffold was modified to address the relevance of stereochemistry, hydrogen bonding and polarity by 33 derivatives. As demonstrated by three matched molecular pairs, l-amino acids were preferred over d-amino acids.
