A paper in Crit_Care states that airway pressure release ventilation provides lung recruitment, stabilization, and homogeneity, potentially protecting injured lungs in patients with early moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome.
can be increased by 2 cmHdoes not improve or remains below 150 mmHg, prone positioning will be considered. If refractory hypoxemia persists, recruitment maneuver and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation will be considered.
EIT assessment was administered shortly after APRV , and 6 h , 12 h , and 24 h after APRV initiation. Parameters of ventilator, respiratory mechanics, and hemodynamics were also recorded at T0, T1, T2, and T3 before EIT assessment. Arterial blood gases analysis was recorded at T0 and T3.The primary endpoint of the study was regional tidal volume distribution after 24 h of APRV.
Data from EIT-based measurements showed that the regional lung ventilation and perfusion significantly redistributed from the ventral to dorsal region following ARPV application . The median GI index of ventilation progressively decreased [0.61 to 0.50 ,< 0.001], and CoV gradually changed towards dorsal regions . Patients trend to have an increased global V/Q matching and decreased shunt-EIT from T0 to T3, but not significantly; however, the dorsal V/Q matching increased significantly (25.

Frontiers | Effects of a games-based physical education lesson on cognitive function in adolescentsDespite the importance of physical education (PE) lessons for physical activity in adolescents, the acute cognitive responses to PE lessons have not been explored; a gap in the literature that this study addresses. Following familiarisation, 76 (39 female) adolescents (12.2 0.4 y) completed two trials (60 min games-based PE lesson and 60 min academic lesson) separated by 7-d in a counterbalanced, crossover design. Attention, executive function, working memory, and perception were assessed 30 min before, immediately post, and 45 min post-lesson in both trials. Participants were split into high- and low-fit groups based on a gender-specific median split of distance run on the multi-stage fitness test. Furthermore, participants were split into high and low MVPA groups based on a gender-specific median split of MVPA time (time spent | 64% HR max) during the PE lesson. Overall, a 60 min games-based PE lesson had no effect on perception, working memory, attention, or executive function in adolescents (all p | 0.05) unless MVPA time is high. The physical activity-cognition relationship was moderated by MVPA, as working memory improved post-PE lesson in adolescents who completed more MVPA during their PE lesson (time*trial*MVPA interaction, p | 0.05, partial 2=0.119). Furthermore, high-fit adolescents displayed superior cognitive function than their low-fit counterparts, across all domains of cognitive function (main effect of fitness, all p | 0.05, partial 2 0.014 - 0.121). This study provides novel evidence that MVPA time moderates the cognitive response to a games-based PE lesson; and emphasises that higher levels of fitness are beneficial for cognitive function in adolescents.

Does obstructive sleep apnea increase the risk of post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2?Research paper examines the potential link between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC), the long-term effects of COVID-19. It investigates whether OSA increases the risk of more severe PASC outcomes.

Frontiers | The impact of timing of in utero marijuana exposure on fetal growthObjective: To examine whether timing of in utero marijuana exposure independently and negatively impacts fetal growth, and if these effects are global or specific to certain growth parameters. Study design: The two study groups were marijuana users (N=109) and a randomly selected control group of biochemically verified non-users (n=171). Medical records were manually reviewed for background and medical information. Results: After control for significant confounders, regression results indicated significant (p|.05) decrease in newborn weight following first trimester marijuana exposure only and following marijuana exposure throughout gestation compared to controls. There were also significant deficits in head circumference following marijuana exposure in the first and second trimester only and marijuana exposure throughout pregnancy. Newborn length was not predicted by marijuana exposure. Conclusions: Timing of marijuana exposure appears to play a key role in specific fetal growth deficits, with exposure throughout gestation most detrimental. However even first trimester exposure may result in decreased weight. Timing and amount of use could be confounded in this study as those who quit early in pregnancy may have been lighter users than those who continued throughout pregnancy. More research is clearly needed to better understand the role of amount and timing of in utero marijuana exposure in predicting different aspects of fetal growth, however, this study suggests that women should be encouraged to avoid marijuana use at any point in pregnancy.
