Objective: To determine the association between initial delivery room (DR) ventilator (conventional mechanical ventilation [CMV] versus high frequency oscillatory ventilation [HFOV] and hospital outcomes for infants with severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).
Study Design: Quasi-experimental design before/after introducing a clinical protocol promoting HFOV. The primary outcome was first blood gas parameters. Secondary outcomes included serial blood gas assessments, ECMO, survival, duration of ventilation, and length of hospitalization.
Results: First pH and CO were more favorable in the HFOV group (n = 75) than CMV group (n = 85), median (interquartile range (IQR)) pH 7.18 (7.03, 7.24) vs. 7.05 (6.93, 7.17), adjusted p-value < 0.001; median CO 62.0 (46.0, 82.0) vs 85.9 (59.0, 103.0), adjusted p-value < 0.001. ECMO, survival, duration of ventilation, and length of hospitalization did not differ between groups in adjusted analysis.
Conclusion: Among infants with severe CDH, initial DR HFOV was associated with improved early gas exchange with no adverse differences in hospital outcomes.

Impact of sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors in acute coronary syndrome patients on endothelial function and atherosclerosis related-biomarkers: ATH-SGLT2i pilot study.

Little is known about the effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on atherosclerosis. We aimed to determine if a 90-day intake of Dapagliflozin could improve atherosclerosis biomarkers (namely endothelial function assessed by flow-mediated dilatation [FMD] and carotid intima-media thickness [CIMT]) in diabetic and non-diabetic acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients when initiated in the early in-hospital phase. ATH-SGLT2i was a prospective, single-center, observational trial that included 113 SGLT2i naive patients who were admitted for ACS and who were prescribed Dapagliflozin at a fixed dose of 10 mg during their hospital stay for either type 2 diabetes or for heart failure.

Purpose: Research has shown that prolonged endotracheal intubation can increase risk of aspiration following extubation. This study examined the relationship between swallowing and intubation among patients with COVID-19. We investigated the association between the duration of intubation and time until an oral diet was safely initiated and the correlation between the length of intubation and reduced sensation with aspiration as seen on flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES)/videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS).

Background: The relationship between premature ventricular contractions (PVC) and right ventricular (RV) function is not widely known. Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction due to PVC is known as PVC-induced cardiomyopathy (PIC) and suppressing the PVC substrate would improve LV function. The effect of PVC ablation on changes in RV function in patients with subtle RV subclinical dysfunction remains unknown.

Background: Acute myocardial infarction during pregnancy is a rare condition with an incidence of 1 to 10 per 100,000 deliveries. ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is dominating the clinical presentation. It is estimated that 29% of the patients had normal coronary arteries, and hyperthyroidism may be associated with coronary vasospasm.

Purpose: In heart failure (HF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) populations, sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is associated with impaired health outcomes. We evaluated whether in patients with HF, concomitant HF and COPD or COPD, the number of hospitalizations would be reduced in the year after testing for SDB with and without treatment initiation compared to the year before.
Methods: We performed a multicentre retrospective study of 390 consecutive sleep-clinic patients who had a primary diagnosis of chronic HF, HF and COPD or COPD and a secondary diagnosis of SDB.
