A comprehensive textbook detailing the core standards and clinical experience related to mechanical ventilation. This edition provides updated information, serving as a critical resource for practitioners in anesthesiology and respiratory care services, while cautioning readers to verify drug dosages due to the ever-changing nature of medical science.
A summary of the most recent evidence regarding the use of High-Flow Nasal Oxygen (HFNO) in the intensive care unit. The article discusses HFNO's physiological effects, including washout of anatomical deadspace and reduction of breathing effort, and its application as a first-line intervention in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.
This review summarizes evidence concerning respiratory muscle weakness in ICU patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation. It details the physiological and patient-level impact of weakness, outlines strategies for identification, and provides an evidence-based, pragmatic approach to targeted and individualized respiratory muscle rehabilitation in the ICU, including recent technological advancements.
A comprehensive four-volume reference detailing various aspects of eye research. Topics covered include the neural regulation of tear production, signaling pathways used by nerves and growth factors in the lacrimal gland and conjunctival goblet cells, how dysregulation of these pathways leads to dry-eye syndromes, and fundamental cell biology and neurobiology of the eye.
A comprehensive handbook providing a synthesis of the state of the science, timely, in-depth reviews, and up-to-date reference lists concerning fluid and electrolyte management in pediatric patients.
This viewpoint analyzes cardiac wasting associated with advanced cancer, proposing it as an important endpoint for cardio-oncology trials. It notes its high frequency (up to 50%) and significant clinical relevance, including reduced left ventricular size, increased mortality, and lower physical performance. The article calls for future research focusing on prevention, reversal, biomarker development, and differentiating cardiac cachexia from other chronic illnesses.
The Nephrology Self-Assessment Program (nephSAP) is a premier educational activity of the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) designed for self-assessment and education, providing CME credits and MOC points. It aims to help physicians, scientists, and other health professionals renew clinical knowledge and skills through challenging case vignettes, detailed learning objectives, topical articles, and an editorial on a specific theme. This issue focuses specifically on Transplantation.
