INDEPENDENT LUNG VENTILATION WITH USE OF A DOUBLE-LUMEN ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE FOR REFRACTORY HYPOXEMIA AND SHOCK COMPLICATING SEVERE UNILATERAL PNEUMONIA: A CASE REPORT

Background: The indications for independent lung ventilation (ILV) in critical care settings have not been fully clarified, especially because extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is being used increasingly in cases of severe respiratory failure.Case report: A 90-year-old man presented with severe unilateral pneumonia, and despite conventiona

Background: Early diagnosis of inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) is important because treatment may lead to reduced mortality and improved prognosis.Due to their diversity, it is a challenge to Stirrups diagnose IMDs in time, effecting an emerging need for a comprehensive test to acquire an overview of metabolite status.Untargeted metabolomics ha

Abstract Background Due to clinical and methodological diversity, clinical studies included in meta-analyses often differ in ways that lead to differences in treatment effects across studies.Meta-regression analysis is generally recommended to explore associations between study-level characteristics and treatment effect, however, three key pitfalls

Abstract We consider thermal, trapped and chromo-natural inflation in light of the swampland criteria and the Trans-Planckian Censorship Conjecture (TCC).Since thermal Board Game Playskool inflation occurs at energies low compared to those of Grand Unification, it is consistent with the TCC, and it is also consistent with the refined swampland cond
