TL;DR: A conservative strategy of fluid management using explicit protocols applied for seven days in 1000 patients with acute lung injury improved the chances of death at 60 days and the conservative strategy improved fluid balance during the first seven days.

TL;DR: In patients in the emergency department with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndromes, incorporating CCTA into a triage strategy improved the efficiency of clinical decision making, as compared with a standard evaluation in theEmergency department, but it resulted in an increase in downstream testing and radiation exposure with no decrease in the overall costs of care.

TL;DR: Pamidronate prevents bone loss in the hip and lumbar spine in men receiving treatment for prostate cancer with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the pulse oximetric saturation (Spo(2))/Fio(2) (S/F) ratio can be substituted for the P/F ratio in assessing the oxygenation criterion of ALI and ARDS.

TL;DR: Data from animal models with and without preexisting lung injury, studies of normal human respiratory system mechanics, and the results of five clinical trials of lung-protective mechanical ventilation strategies do not support the commonly held view that inspiratory plateau pressures of 30 to 35 cm H2O are safe.
