BACKGROUND: Everyday living with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is complex, particularly for people with physical or cognitive impairments or limited social supports. There is a need for standardized pre-operative functional evaluations. OBJECTIVES: Our objectives were to describe a pre-operative occupational therapy (OT) evaluation for LVAD candidates, assess its feasibility in routine care, and characterize functional needs. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed electronic medical records of pre-operative OT consultations for LVAD candidates over four years (n = 209)...

BACKGROUND: Multiple studies have highlighted a potential link between gut microbes and the onset of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). Nonetheless, the precise cause-and-effect relationship remains uncertain. OBJECTIVES: In this investigation, we utilized a two-sample Mendelian randomization (TSMR) approach to probe the presence of a causal connection between gut microbiota and PAH. METHODS: Genome-wide association (GWAS) data for gut microbiota and PAH were sourced from MiBioGen and FinnGen research, respectively...

BACKGROUND: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is known for its rapid progression to acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). The increased use of oxygen therapy during the pandemic and the progression of AHRF have highlighted the need to promptly determine the need for orotracheal intubation (OTI). OBJETIVE: To determine the validity of quantitative measurement of oxygen debt (DEOx) according to arterial gases compared to the use of iROX in patients with high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy requirement, presenting with acute respiratory failure as a consequence of SARS-CoV-2 infection...

INTRODUCTION: For out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs), time is of the essence. While the relationship between EMS response time (ERT) and OHCA outcomes is well studied, a more comprehensive assessment of the effects of other intervention time is needed, which is essential to guide clinical practice. OBJECTIVES: Evaluating how a longer total pre-hospital time (TPT), ERT, advance life support response time (ART) and EMS cardiopulmonary resuscitation time (ECT) increase the mortality rates, unfavorable neurological outcomes, and severe complications at discharge of OHCAs...

BACKGROUND: Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that affects millions of children worldwide and can impair their quality of life and development. Inhaled glucocorticoids are the mainstay of asthma treatment, but some children require step-up therapy with additional drugs to achieve symptom control. Fluticasone propionate and salmeterol (FSC) has been shown to reduce asthma exacerbations and improve lung function in adults. However, the evidence for its efficacy and safety in children is limited...

INTRODUCTION: Bystander-provided cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CRP) influences the survival rates of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs). Disparities on bystander resuscitation measures between Black, Hispanic, Asians and Non-Hispanic White OHCAs is unclear. Examining racial and ethnic differences in bystander resuscitations is essential to better target interventions. METHODS: 15,542 witnessed OHCAs were identified between April 1, 2011, and June 30, 2015 using the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium Epidemiologic Registry 3, a multi-center, controlled trial about OHCAs in the United States and Canada...
