Introduction: Echocardiography provides a non-invasive estimation of pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) and is the first diagnostic test for pulmonary hypertension. Recent studies have demonstrated that PASP of more than 30 mm Hg related to increased mortality and morbidity. However, perioperative risks and management for patients with mildly elevated PASP are not well established. This study aims to explore the association between mildly elevated PASP and perioperative adverse outcomes.
Methods And Analysis: This will be a retrospective cohort study conducted at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital in Shanghai, China. Eligible patients are adults (≥18 years) who performed preoperative echocardiography and followed thoracoscopic lobectomy. Our primary objective is to determine the effect of preoperative mildly elevated PASP on the incidence of hypotension during surgery. Whether mildly elevated PASP is related to other perioperative adverse events (including hypoxaemia, myocardial injury, new-onset atrial fibrillation, postoperative pulmonary complications, 30-day readmission and 30-day mortality) will be also analysed. An estimated 2300 patients will be included.
Ethics And Dissemination: The study has been approved by the institutional review board of Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital (approval No: 2022LY1143). The research findings intend to be published in peer-reviewed scientific publications.
Trial Registration Number: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2200066679).

Cerebrovascular regulation is critically dependent upon the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide ( ), owing to its effect on cerebral blood flow, tissue , tissue proton concentration, cerebral metabolism and cognitive and neuronal function. In normal environments and in the absence of pathology, at least over acute time frames, hypercapnia is usually managed readily via the respiratory chemoreflex arcs and/or acid-base buffering capacity, such that there is minimal impact on cerebrovascular and neurological function. However, in non-normal environments, such as enclosed spaces, or with pathology, extended exposures to elevations in can be detrimental to cerebral health.

Maternal obesity increases risk for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) by up to 42%. Identifying metabolic features that may contribute to the association between maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and BPD is critical in defining the molecular relationship between these conditions. We investigated the association between maternal obesity and BPD using newborn screen metabolites as an explanatory variable.

Background: Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) and Gaucher disease type 1 (GD1) are rare inherited sphingolipid disorders with multisystemic manifestations, including liver disease and dyslipidemia. Despite effective treatments, insufficient disease awareness frequently results in diagnostic delays during which irreversible complications occur. We delineated the shared and distinctive features of hepatic, splenic, and lipoprotein phenotypes in ASMD and GD1.

Winegrapes exposed to environmental wildfire smoke during ripening can be identified through analysis of volatile phenols and phenolic glycosides. While elevated concentrations of these smoke marker compounds in grapes have been shown to be predictive of composition and smoke flavor in young wines, recent research has demonstrated that not every wine produced from smoke-exposed grapes will inevitably have discernible smoke flavor when assessed as young wine 6 weeks after bottling. This is supported by anecdotal reports from wine producers that wines that do not appear noticeably smoky when young become noticeably smoky during aging.
