What Causes Respiratory Failure?
Discussion The respiratory system is a complex system. The upper airways must remain patient. The lower airways must interface with the vascular system. The musculoskeletal system must provide mechanical function and the central nervous system must provide overall control. Respiratory failure occurs when the overall system cannot support the body’s necessarily ventilation, oxygenation or both. Children are at higher risk of respiratory failure. They have few intrinsic lung parenchyma problems, but have very small airways that increase the airflow resistance by themselves but then have to contend with problems such as...

Researchers create swarms of tiny robots to attack and remove blood clots
(University of Houston) Current treatments for pulmonary embolism rely on clot-busting medication, sometimes with a surgical procedure to alter the clot. However, both options have been linked to unintended adverse events for patients. Researchers from the University of Houston's Robotic Swarm Control Laboratory and Houston Methodist Hospital are working on an innovative solution. (Source: EurekAlert! - Medicine and Health)

What Are Pulmonary Embolism Risk Factors?
Discussion
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is potentially life-threatening but fortunately rare event especially in the pediatric population. It was first described in children in 1861. PE is likely underreported because of minimal or non-specific clinical symptoms. The incidence is estimated at 0.05-4.2% with the 4.2% based on autopsy reports. It is probably also increasing as more central venous catheters (CVC) are used, and more children are surviving previously poor prognostic diseases. There is a bimodal distribution with cases < 1 year (especially neonates which account for ~50% of this group) and in teenagers. Neonates a...
