Radiation exposure in neurosurgical intensive care unit patients: Balancing diagnostic benefits and long-term risks.
Life Sci
January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, Philipps University of Marburg, Baldingerstraße, 35033 Marburg, Germany; Center for Mind, Brain and Behavior (CMBB), 35043 Marburg, Germany.
Background: X-ray, computed tomography (CT), and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) techniques are indispensable in managing critically ill neurosurgical patients. However, repeated diagnostic imaging leads to cumulative radiation exposure, raising concerns about long-term risks such as malignancies. This study evaluates the frequency, dosage, and implications of radiation exposure in a neurosurgical intensive care unit (NICU) patient cohort.

Mid-trimester preterm premature rupture of membranes is a rare complication of pregnancy associated with significant maternal and fetal risks. The ensuing prolonged oligohydramnios can lead to fetal pulmonary hypoplasia. In addition, there is an increased risk of miscarriage, preterm birth, and chorioamnionitis, contributing to septic morbidity in the mother-baby dyad.

Crit Care Sci
January 2025
Department of Physical Therapy, Universidade Federal de Uberlândia - Uberlândia (MG), Brazil.
Objective: To investigate the effects of lycopene supplementation on inflammation, lung histopathology and systemic DNA damage in an experimentally induced lung injury model, ventilated by conventional mechanical ventilation and high-frequency oscillatory ventilation, compared with a control group.
Methods: Fifty-five rabbits sampled by convenience were supplemented with 10mg/kg lycopene for 21 days prior to the experiment. Lung injury was induced by tracheal infusion of warm saline.
Frequency, financial impact, and factors associated with cost outliers in intensive care units: a cohort study in Belgium.
Crit Care Sci
January 2025
Health Economics, Hospital Management and Nursing Research Deptment, School of Public Health, Université Libre de Bruxelles - Bruxelles, Belgium.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the association between high outliers and intensive care unit admissions and to identify the factors contributing to high intensive care unit costs.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from 17 Belgian hospitals from 2018 and 2019. The study focused on the 10 most frequently admitted diagnosis-related groups in the intensive care unit.
The INGENIOUS project: towards understanding air pollution in homes.
Environ Sci Process Impacts
January 2025
Centre for Health Data Science, Bradford Institute for Health Research, Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, UK.
This paper provides an overview of the INGENIOUS (UnderstandING the sourcEs, traNsformations and fates of IndOor air pollUtantS) project, aiming to better understand air pollution in homes. Although our homes are the microenvironment in which we spend most of our time, we know relatively little about the sources, transformation processes and fates of indoor air pollutants, or our exposure to them. INGENIOUS aims to address this knowledge gap by delivering: an indoor emissions inventory for UK homes; comprehensive air pollutant measurements in 310 homes in Bradford using a combination of low cost-sensors and more advanced air quality instrumentation; an analysis of the impact of indoor air pollution on outdoor air quality and using mobile measurements; insight into future indoor air quality using detailed air pollution models; identification of indoor air pollutants that warrant further toxicological study; and better understanding of the barriers and facilitators for behaviour that drives improved indoor air quality.
