Background: In acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), respiratory drive often differs among patients with similar clinical characteristics. Readily observable factors like acid-base state, oxygenation, mechanics, and sedation depth do not fully explain drive heterogeneity. This study evaluated the relationship of systemic inflammation and vascular permeability markers with respiratory drive and clinical outcomes in ARDS.
Methods: ARDS patients enrolled in the multicenter EPVent-2 trial with requisite data and plasma biomarkers were included. Neuromuscular blockade recipients were excluded. Respiratory drive was measured as P0.1, the change in esophageal pressure during the first 0.1 s of inspiratory effort. Plasma angiopoietin-2, interleukin-6, and interleukin-8 were measured concomitantly, and 60-day clinical outcomes evaluated.
Results: 54.8% of 124 included patients had detectable respiratory drive (P0.1 range of 0-5.1 cm HO). Angiopoietin-2 and interleukin-8, but not interleukin-6, were associated with respiratory drive independently of acid-base, oxygenation, respiratory mechanics, and sedation depth. Sedation depth was not significantly associated with P0.1 in an unadjusted model, or after adjusting for mechanics and chemoreceptor input. However, upon adding angiopoietin-2, interleukin-6, or interleukin-8 to models, lighter sedation was significantly associated with higher P0.1. Risk of death was less with moderate drive (P0.1 of 0.5-2.9 cm HO) compared to either lower drive (hazard ratio 1.58, 95% CI 0.82-3.05) or higher drive (2.63, 95% CI 1.21-5.70) (p = 0.049).
Conclusions: Among patients with ARDS, systemic inflammatory and vascular permeability markers were independently associated with higher respiratory drive. The heterogeneous response of respiratory drive to varying sedation depth may be explained in part by differences in inflammation and vascular permeability.

Disease-related fatalities in Saudi Arabia (SA) are on the rise, with 28% of all deaths attributed to cardiovascular diseases, followed by cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory disorders. In response to this issue, pharmacy dispensing practices have been significantly altered. One such innovative approach is the drive-through pharmacy service.

This research was carried out to assess the concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO) and formaldehyde (HCHO) in Edo State, Southern Nigeria, using remote sensing data. A secondary data collection method was used for the assessment, and the levels of CO and HCHO were extracted annually from Google Earth Engine using information from Sentinel-5-P satellite data (COPERNISCUS/S5P/NRTI/L3_) and processed using ArcMap, Google Earth Engine, and Microsoft Excel to determine the levels of CO and HCHO in the study area from 2018 to 2023. The geometry of the study location is highlighted, saved and run, and a raster imagery file of the study area is generated after the task has been completed with a 'projection and extent' in the Geographic Tagged Image File Format (.

In this special issue to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Uruguayan Society for Neuroscience (SNU), we find it pertinent to highlight that research on glial cells in Uruguay began almost alongside the history of SNU and contributed to the understanding of neuron-glia interactions within the international scientific community. Glial cells, particularly astrocytes, traditionally regarded as supportive components in the central nervous system (CNS), undergo notable morphological and functional alterations in response to neuronal damage, a phenomenon referred to as glial reactivity. Among the myriad functions of astrocytes, metabolic support holds significant relevance for neuronal function, given the high energy demand of the nervous system.
