A rapid recovery protocol for head and neck oncology patients undergoing resection, free flap reconstruction, and tracheostomy: a feasibility study
This article presents a rapid recovery protocol (RRP) to further enhance perioperative care in conjunction with the ERAS protocol, for patients undergoing ablative surgery together with free flap reconstruction and tracheostomy. A prospective multidisciplinary approach was adopted to identify a specific cohort of patients who would benefit from the RRP. Of 26 patients who fulfilled the eligibility criteria, 16 completed the RRP. On average, these patients spent 5 days less with a tracheostomy and were discharged 7 days sooner when compared to a matched control group of nine patients on the standard postoperative care pathw...

Protective effect of apelin-13 on ventilator-induced acute lung injury
CONCLUSION: The apelin/apj axis is activated in VILI. Overexpression of apelin-13 further plays a protective role in VILI, mainly by including reducing pathological damage, the inflammatory response, apoptosis and antioxidant stress in lung tissue, thus delaying the occurrence and development of VILI.PMID:38175266 | DOI:10.1007/s11033-023-08911-6 (Source: Molecular Biology Reports)

Clinical recommendations for the inpatient management of lower respiratory tract infections in children and adolescents with severe neurological impairment in Germany
AbstractChildren and adolescents with severe neurological impairment (SNI) require specialized care due to their complex medical needs. In particular, these patients are often affected by severe and recurrent lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs). These infections, including viral and bacterial etiology, pose a significant risk to these patients, often resulting in respiratory insufficiency and long-term impairments. Using expert consensus, we developed clinical recommendations on the management of LRTIs in children and adolescents with SNI. These recommendations emphasize comprehensive multidisciplinary care and anti...
