TL;DR: In this paper, diaphragm electrical activity (EAdi) was continuously recorded after intubation looking for resumption of a minimal level of diaphrachm activity (beginning of the first 24-hour period with median EAdi < 7 µV, a threshold based on literature and correlations with diaphrgm thickening fraction).

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that MRI-measured distensibility value is higher than that obtained via echotracking and a significant correlation with PWV suggests that both methods can be regarded as valuable approaches.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined the impact of underlying comorbidities on the clinical presentation, management and outcomes in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARDS) in the LUNG SAFE study.

TL;DR: In this article , autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PB-MNCs) were used to restore limb perfusion in patients with diabetes mellitus and critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) deemed not eligible for revascularization procedures and consequently at risk for major amputation.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors defined weaning initiation as the first attempt to separate a patient from the ventilator, successful weaning as no reintubation or death within 7 days of extubation, and eligibility criteria based on positive end-expiratory pressure, fractional concentration of oxygen in inspired air, and vasopressors.
