Objective: Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) is based on the data of intensive care unit (ICU) patients and often correlates with disease severity and prognosis. However, no prognostic predictors exist based on ICU admission data for patients with brain tumors, and no studies have reported an association between APACHE II and prognosis in patients with brain tumors. The Japanese Intensive Care Patients Database (JIPAD) was established to improve the quality of care delivered in intensive care medicine in Japan. We used JIPAD to examine factors associated with in-hospital mortality based on available data of postoperative patients with brain tumors admitted to the ICU.
Methods: Patients aged ≥16 years enrolled in JIPAD between April 2015 and March 2018 after surgical brain tumor resection or biopsy of brain tumors. We examined factors related to outcomes at discharge based on blood tests and medical procedures performed during ICU admission, tumor type, and APACHE II score.
Results: Among the 1454 patients (male:female ratio: 1:1.1, mean age: 62 years) in the study, 32 (2.2 %) died during hospital stay. In multivariate analysis, male sex (odds ratio [OR] 2.70, [95 % confidence interval, CI 1.22-6.00]), malignant tumor (OR 2.51 [95 % CI 1.13-5.55]), and APACHE II score ≥15 (OR 2.51 [95 % CI 3.08-14.3]) were significantly associated with in-hospital mortality.
Conclusion: By picking up cases with a high risk of in-hospital death at an early stage, it is possible to improve methods of treatment and support for the patient's family.

Prevalence and correlates of postpartum PTSD following emergency cesarean sections: implications for perinatal mental health care: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
BMC Psychol
January 2025
Department of Midwifery, University of West Attica, Athens, Greece.
Background: The increasing awareness of the emotional consequences of emergency cesarean deliveries (C-sections) highlights their substantial role in fostering postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to evaluate the prevalence and determinants of PTSD following emergency C-sections, as well as the implications of these events on maternal mental health and welfare.
Methods: Undertaking extensive searches of Scopus, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar, we have incorporated studies published from 2013 onwards that examined the occurrence of PTSD following emergency C-sections.
Biophysical mapping of TREM2-ligand interactions reveals shared surfaces for engagement of multiple Alzheimer's disease ligands.

TREM2 is a signaling receptor expressed on microglia that has emerged as an important drug target for Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. While a number of TREM2 ligands have been identified, little is known regarding the structural details of how they engage. To better understand this, we created a protein library of 28 different TREM2 variants that could be used to map interactions with various ligands using biolayer interferometry.

Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, 32610, USA.
Background: Cows that develop metritis experience dysbiosis of their uterine microbiome, where opportunistic pathogens overtake uterine commensals. An effective immune response is critical for maintaining uterine health. Nonetheless, periparturient cows experience immune dysregulation, which seems to be intensified by prepartum over-condition.

Background: Pulse pressure variation (PPV) is limited in low tidal volume mechanical ventilation. We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate whether passive leg raising (PLR)-induced changes in PPV can reliably predict preload/fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients with low tidal volume in the intensive care unit.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases were screened for diagnostic research relevant to the predictability of PPV change after PLR in low-tidal volume mechanically ventilated patients.
Regulation of calcium homeostasis in endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria crosstalk: implications for skeletal muscle atrophy.
Cell Commun Signal

This review comprehensively explores the critical role of calcium as an essential small-molecule biomessenger in skeletal muscle function. Calcium is vital for both regulating muscle excitation-contraction coupling and for the development, maintenance, and regeneration of muscle cells. The orchestrated release of calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is mediated by receptors such as the ryanodine receptor (RYR) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R), which is crucial for skeletal muscle contraction.
