Inhalation of acid fumes and aspiration of liquid substances or gastric contents may not initiate dyspnea within several hours after exposure but may result in delayed onset of alveolar edema. The present report presents three cases of inhalation or aspiration of chemical substances that resulted in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Due to different underlying reasons, three patients developed ARDS resulting from chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary infection. From patients with dyspnea, dry rales could be heard in both lungs, with <92% percutaneous oxygen saturation at room air. All patients were treated using a high-flow nasal cannula and sivelestat sodium. Oxygenation gradually improved and the patients were discharged without adverse events. These cases suggest that early treatment with sivelestat sodium may improve the clinical outcomes of patients with ARDS.

Aims: Primary aim was to review severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) hospitalisations caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in children aged < 2 years in paediatric hospitals in Australia. Secondary aims included RSV subtyping, assessing RSV seasonality and contributing to the World Health Organisation's RSV surveillance programme.
Methods: We prospectively reviewed the medical records of children (< 2 years of age) with a confirmed SARI who were admitted to one of four major Australian paediatric hospitals and had a respiratory sample analysed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).

Background: For a long time, the penalty of imprisonment has been studied and criticized as ineffective in achieving the goals of resocialization and rehabilitation of offenders, and studies have associated incarceration with increased prevalence of disease. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization recommended decarceration as a prevention measure. The aim of this review was to analyze the effectiveness of non-exposure to incarceration in preventing COVID-19 and mitigating associated events.
