Study of the usefulness of small-bore aspiration catheters (Aspiration Kit®) for treating pneumothorax
Conclusions] The results suggest that small-bore aspiration catheters, which cause less pain in patients, are potentially useful for pneumothorax drainage.

NIH study broadens understanding of High Impact Chronic Pain in the US
Researchers have demonstrated that disability is as likely in the chronic pain population as it is in those with kidney failure, emphysema or stroke. This is the reality for 11 million U.S. adults with High Impact Chronic Pain (HICP), a new concept that describes those with pain lasting three months or longer and accompanied by at least one major activity restriction.

Beyond Triage and Resuscitation: Optimizing Care for the Critically Ill Emergency Department Patient
During my last shift in the emergency department (ED), I assumed care at sign-out of an intubated patient with an acute asthma exacerbation as well as a patient with cardiogenic pulmonary edema who was receiving noninvasive ventilation. Shortly thereafter, prehospital personnel brought us a patient with respiratory failure due to emphysema who needed to be intubated, followed by a patient having an acute stroke who would receive thrombolytics, followed by a patient with hypotension who would later require pressors for septic shock.

In-Hospital Complications following Arthrotomy versus Arthroscopy for Septic Knee Arthritis: A Cohort-Matched Comparison
J Knee Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1693450There is a paucity of literature comparing the relative merits of open arthrotomy versus arthroscopy for the surgical treatment of septic knee arthritis. The primary goal of this study is to compare the risk of perioperative complications between these two surgical techniques. To this end, 560 patients treated for septic arthritis of the native knee with arthroscopy were statistically matched 1:1 with 560 patients treated with open arthrotomy. The outcome measures included major complications, minor complications, mortality, inpatient hospital charges, and length of stay (LOS). Major ...

Pneumocephalus and pneumorachis after blunt chest trauma without spinal fractures: a case report
ConclusionsThis is the first case report to describe pneumorachis and pneumocephalus following blunt trauma with pneumothorax, but no spinal or skull fractures. The mechanism that is probably involved here is a migration of air with subcutaneous emphysema and a pleural hernia into the spinal canal. However, in cases of pneumorachis or pneumocephalus, skull fractures need to be investigated as these require surgery and appropriate vaccination to prevent meningitis.

Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and chronic obstructive lung disease leak inhaled nanoparticles to the blood
There is a link between acute elevated air pollution levels and sudden death. One theory is that nano particles (<100 nm) deposited in the lungs transfer to the blood where they cause acute effects (i.e. inflammation, plaque rupture) causing heart attack or stroke.In a previous study on healthy subjects (n=10) we have shown low clearance of inhaled nano particles into the blood. Here we include 9 patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and 11 subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Both groups have alveolar damage; destruction and formation of scar tissue in IPF, and emphysema in COPD.All p...

Prevalence of and Changes in Tooth Loss Among Adults Aged ≥50 Years with Selected Chronic Conditions - United States, 1999-2004 and 2011-2016.
Abstract Extensive tooth loss can lead to poor diet resulting in weight loss or obesity (1). It can also detract from physical appearance and impede speech, factors that can restrict social contact, inhibit intimacy, and lower self-esteem (1). Chronic medical conditions and oral conditions share common risk factors (2). Persons with chronic conditions are more likely to have untreated dental disease, which can result in tooth loss. Three measures of tooth loss during 1999-2004 and 2011-2016 were estimated by comparing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) for each period among adu...

Gender Differences in Factors Associated with Clinically Meaningful Weight Loss among Adults Who Were Overweight or Obese: A Population-Based Cohort Study
Conclusion: Age, BMI status, physical activity, smoking status, family income, and health status were independent factors in males and females for weight management. However, further well-designed prospective studies are warranted to confirm our findings.Obes Facts

Hearing Loss and Healthcare Access among Adults
In this study, we examined the association between HL and access to medical care and prescription drugs among individuals 50+ with and without HL. We used nationally representative 2013–2014 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey data, consisting of 1,977 adults with HL and 17,399 without. We applied an inverse propensity score weighting and regression modeling to adjust for any potential differences in health and socioeconomic conditions between the two groups. Adults with HL were more likely to be white, less educated, poorer, and with public insurance (p < 0.001). They were also likely to have hypertension, heart dis...

Local incidence and outcomes of patients with pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum in COVID-19
Conclusions: Inpatient incidence of PTX and PM is 0.98%. Survival is lower (54.5%) but difficult to compare in the presence of frailty and co-morbidities.

Reduction of Lung Hyperinflation Improves Cardiac Preload, Contractility, and Output in Emphysema: A Prospective Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Study in Patients Who Received Endobronchial Valves
CONCLUSIONS: We found that reduction of hyperinflation using BLVR with endobronchial valves significantly improved cardiac preload, myocardial contractility, and cardiac output, without changes in pulmonary artery pressures. Clinical trial registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03474471).PMID:35584341 | DOI:10.1164/rccm.202201-0214OC
