Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a complex malformation characterised by a triad of pulmonary hypoplasia, pulmonary hypertension (PH) and cardiac ventricular dysfunction. Much of the mortality and morbidity in CDH is largely accounted for by PH, especially when persistent beyond the neonatal period and refractory to available treatment. Gen...

BackgroundMortality rates for patients with ARDS remain high. We assessed temporal changes in the epidemiology and management of ARDS patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation in European ICUs. We also investigated the association between ventilatory settings and outcome in these patients.MethodsThis was a post hoc analysis of two cohorts ...
PURPOSE: Planning target volume (PTV) definition based on Mid-Position (Mid-P) strategy typically integrates breathing motion from tumor positions variances along the conventional axes of the DICOM coordinate system. Tumor motion directionality is thus neglected even though it is one of its stable characteristics in time. We therefore propose the d...
Background Stimulation of non-crying neonates after birth can help transition to spontaneous breathing. In this study, we aim to assess the impact of intact versus clamped umbilical cord on spontaneous breathing after stimulation of non-crying neonates. Methods This is an observational study among non-crying neonates (n=3073) born in hospitals of N...

The risk of long range, herein ‘airborne’, infection needs to be better understood and is especially urgent during the COVID-19 pandemic. We present a method to determine the relative risk of airborne transmission that can be readily deployed with either modelled or monitored CO2 data and occupancy levels within an indoor space. For spaces regularl...
CFC-12 and SF6 data were used in combination to estimate the mean age of water in the northern South China Sea (NSCS), to explore oceanographic processes related to "time," including the transit time through the Luzon Strait (LS) with a three-layer circulation structure and the apparent oxygen utilization rates (AOUR). Significant differences in me...

Simple Summary In anaesthetized horses, blood oxygenation impairment often occurs. This systematic review compared the effects of low and high inspired oxygen fractions on the arterial oxygen tension and other pulmonary gas exchange parameters in horses during inhalation anaesthesia. Five studies, four experimental and one clinical, were deemed sui...
