Journal ArticleDOI

Pathophysiology of COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome: a multicentre prospective observational study.

TL;DR: Patients with COVID-19-associated ARDS have a form of injury that, in many aspects, is similar to that of those with ARDS unrelated to CO VID-19, who have a reduction in respiratory system compliance together with increased D-dimer concentrations have high mortality rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Treatment with valproic acid ameliorates ADHD symptoms in fragile X syndrome boys

TL;DR: An improvement in the adaptive behavior is observed, defined as the performance of daily activities required for personal and social competence, due to a significant reduction in hyperactivity after VPA treatment, whose efficacy in patients with FXS needs to be confirmed by further studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Positive end-expiratory pressure during laparoscopy: cardiac and respiratory effects

TL;DR: Ventilation with PEEP (up to 10 cm H2O) recruits the hypoventilated areas of the lungs and reduces cardiac afterload and, to a lesser extent, 5 cm H 2O of PEEP decreased LV stroke work.
Journal Article

Desflurane versus sevoflurane: a comparison on stress response.

TL;DR: In low stress surgery desflurane was associated with a better control of intraoperative cortisol and ACTH response (T2) and resulted attenuated also postoperatively (T3-T4).
Journal ArticleDOI

A modified intracavitary electrocardiographic method for detecting the location of the tip of central venous catheters in atrial fibrillation patients

TL;DR: A modified intracavitary electrocardiographic technique can be safely used for detecting the location of the tip of central venous catheters in atrial fibrillation patients: the highest activity of the f waves is an accurate indicator of the locationof the tip at the cavo-atrial junction.
