Abstract

Point-of-care ultrasonography is increasingly being used to facilitate accurate abstract and timely diagnoses and to guide procedures. It is important for pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) physicians caring for patients in the emergency department to receive adequate and continued point-of-care ultrasonography training for those indications used in their practice setting. Emergency departments should have credentialing and quality assurance programs. PEM fellowships should provide appropriate training to physician trainees. Hospitals should provide privileges to physicians who demonstrate competency in point-of-care ultrasonography. Ongoing research will provide the necessary measures to define the optimal training and competency assessment standards. Requirements for credentialing and hospital privileges will vary and will be specific to individual departments and hospitals. As more physicians are trained and more research is completed, there should be one national standard for credentialing and privileging in point-of-care ultrasonography for PEM physicians.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Lung Ultrasound (LUS)-guided Lung Recruitment Maneuver (LRM) has been shown to possibly reduce ventilator-induced lung injury in preterm infants. However, to avoid potential hemodynamic and pulmonary side effects, the indication to perform the maneuver needs to be supported by early signs of lung recruitability. Recently, a new LUS pattern (S-pattern), obtained during the reopening of collapsed parenchyma, has been described. This study aims to evaluate if this novel LUS pattern is associated with a higher clinical impact of the LUS-guided LRMs. METHODS: All the LUS-guided rescue LRMs performed on infants with oxygen saturation/fraction of inspired oxygen (S/F) ratio below 200, were included in this cohort study. The primary outcome was to determine if the presence of the S-pattern is associated with the success of LUS-guided recruitment, in terms of the difference between the final and initial S/F ratio (Delta S/F). RESULTS: We reported twenty-two LUS-guided recruitments, performed in nine patients with a median gestational age of 34 weeks, interquartile range (IQR) 28–35 weeks. The S-pattern could be obtained in 14 recruitments (64%) and appeared early during the procedure, after a median of 2 cmH2O (IQR 1–3) pressure increase. The presence of the S-pattern was significantly associated with the effectiveness of the maneuver as opposed to the cases in which the S-pattern could not be obtained (Delta S/F 110 +/- 47 vs 44 +/- 39, p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that the presence of the S-pattern may be an early sign of lung recruitability, predicting LUS-guided recruitment appropriateness and efficacy.

Abstract

Background A Covid-19 outbreak developed in Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia-Romagna (Italy) at the end of February 2020. Fear of an imminent saturation of available ICU beds generated the notion that rationing of intensive care resources could have been necessary. Results In order to evaluate the impact of Covid-19 on the ICU capacity to manage critically ill patients, we performed a retrospective analysis of the first 2 weeks of the outbreak (February 24–March 8). Data were collected from regional registries and from a case report form sent to participating sites. ICU beds increased from 1545 to 1989 (28.7%), and patients receiving respiratory support outside the ICU increased from 4 (0.6%) to 260 (37.0%). Patients receiving respiratory support outside the ICU were significantly older [65 vs. 77 years], had more cerebrovascular (5.8 vs. 13.1%) and renal (5.3 vs. 10.0%) comorbidities and less obesity (31.4 vs. 15.5%) than patients admitted to the ICU. PaO2/FiO2 ratio, respiratory rate and arterial pH were higher [165 vs. 244; 20 vs. 24 breath/min; 7.40 vs. 7.46] and PaCO2 and base excess were lower [34 vs. 42 mmHg; 0.60 vs. 1.30] in patients receiving respiratory support outside the ICU than in patients admitted to the ICU, respectively. Conclusions Increase in ICU beds and use of out-of-ICU respiratory support allowed effective management of the first 14 days of the Covid-19 outbreak, avoiding resource rationing.

Abstract

Background Pollution has been suggested as a precipitating factor for cardiovascular diseases. However, data about the link between air pollution and the risk of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are limited and controversial. Methods By collecting data both in the OHCA registry and in the database of the regional agency for environmental protection (ARPA) of the Lombardy region, all medical OHCAs and the mean daily concentration of pollutants including fine particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5), benzene (C6H6), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), and ozone (O3) were considered from January 1st to December 31st, 2019 in the southern part of the Lombardy region (provinces of Pavia, Lodi, Cremona and Mantua; 7863 km2; about 1550000 inhabitants). Days were divided into high or low incidence of OHCA according to the median value. A Probit dose-response analysis and both uni- and multivariable logistic regression models were provided for each pollutant. Results The concentrations of all the pollutants were significantly higher in days with high incidence of OHCA except for O3, which showed a significant countertrend. After correcting for temperature, a significant dose-response relationship was demonstrated for all the pollutants examined. All the pollutants were also strongly associated with high incidence of OHCA in multivariable analysis with correction for temperature, humidity, and day-to-day concentration changes. Conclusions Our results clarify the link between pollutants and the acute risk of cardiac arrest suggesting the need of both improving the air quality and integrating pollution data in future models for the organization of emergency medical services.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide evidence-based and expert consensus recommendations for lung ultrasound with focus on emergency and critical care settings. A multidisciplinary panel of 28 experts from eight countries was involved. Literature was reviewed from January 1966 to June 2011. Consensus members searched multiple databases including Pubmed, Medline, OVID, Embase, and others. The process used to develop these evidence-based recommendations involved two phases: determining the level of quality of evidence and developing the recommendation. The quality of evidence is assessed by the grading of recommendation, assessment, development, and evaluation (GRADE) method. However, the GRADE system does not enforce a specific method on how the panel should reach decisions during the consensus process. Our methodology committee decided to utilize the RAND appropriateness method for panel judgment and decisions/consensus. Seventy-three proposed statements were examined and discussed in three conferences held in Bologna, Pisa, and Rome. Each conference included two rounds of face-to-face modified Delphi technique. Anonymous panel voting followed each round. The panel did not reach an agreement and therefore did not adopt any recommendations for six statements. Weak/conditional recommendations were made for 2 statements, and strong recommendations were made for the remaining 65 statements. The statements were then recategorized and grouped to their current format. Internal and external peer-review processes took place before submission of the recommendations. Updates will occur at least every 4 years or whenever significant major changes in evidence appear. This document reflects the overall results of the first consensus conference on “point-of-care” lung ultrasound. Statements were discussed and elaborated by experts who published the vast majority of papers on clinical use of lung ultrasound in the last 20 years. Recommendations were produced to guide implementation, development, and standardization of lung ultrasound in all relevant settings.

Abstract

Objective: In type 2 diabetes, prevalence of nonalbuminuric renal impairment is increasing worldwide, though its clinical significance remains unclear. This large-cohort study aimed at evaluating the association of this phenotype with cardiovascular risk factors and other complications. Methods: Type 2 diabetic patients from the Renal Insufficiency And Cardiovascular Events (RIACE) Italian Multicenter Study (n=15773), visiting consecutively 19 hospital-based Diabetes Clinics in years 2007-2008, were examined. Serum creatinine was assessed by the Jaffe method; albuminuria was measured by immunonephelometry or immunoturbidimetry. Results: Of patients with renal impairment, as identified by an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 60ml/min per 1.73m, 56.6% were normoalbuminuric, 30.8% were microalbuminuric, and 12.6% were macroalbuminuric. Percentages were similar when GFR was estimated using the more accurate Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation instead of the simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula, and were independent of age, thus indicating that the increasing prevalence of this phenotype does not reflects misclassification of elderly patients. Nonalbuminuric renal impairment was not associated with HbA1c and correlated less strongly with retinopathy and hypertension than albuminuria, either alone or associated with reduced eGFR. It was associated with a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) than albuminuria alone, but lower than albuminuric renal impairment. Female sex correlated with nonalbuminuric renal impairment and male sex with the albuminuric forms. Conclusion:S: These data show that type 2 diabetic patients with nonalbuminuric renal impairment exhibit distinct clinical features, suggesting predominance of macroangiopathy as underlying renal pathology, and that this phenotype is associated with significant CVD burden.

Abstract

Copyright © 2015 by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Emergency physicians have used point-of-care ultrasonography since the abstract 1990s. Pediatric emergency medicine physicians have more recently adopted this technology. Point-of-care ultrasonography is used for various scenarios, particularly the evaluation of soft tissue infections or blunt abdominal trauma and procedural guidance. To date, there are no published statements from national organizations specifically for pediatric emergency physicians describing the incorporation of point-of-care ultrasonography into their practice. This document outlines how pediatric emergency departments may establish a formal point-of-care ultrasonography program. This task includes appointing leaders with expertise in point-of-care ultrasonography, effectively training and credentialing physicians in the department, and providing ongoing quality assurance reviews.

Abstract

Objective: To describe the technique and findings of the 'veterinary focused assessment with sonography for trauma‐airway, breathing, circulation, disability and exposure' protocol in dogs suffering from trauma. Materials and Methods: Prospective observational study on a new point‐of‐care ultrasound protocol on 64 dogs suffering from trauma and comparison of findings with radiology. Results: Comparison of the results of this new ultrasound protocol for trauma patients with radiography findings for pneumothorax, pleural effusion, alveolar‐interstitial syndrome and abdominal effusion revealed positive agreement of 89, 83, 100 and 87% and negative agreement of 76, 83, 76 and 92%, respectively. Novel findings of the 'veterinary focused assessment with sonography for trauma‐airway, breathing, circulation, disability and exposure' exam, which were not previously reported for dogs undergoing focused assessment with sonography for trauma, included alveolar‐interstitial syndrome (suggestive of pulmonary contusions), diaphragmatic hernia, retroperitoneal effusion and tracheal injury. Our new technique may also help identify increased intracranial pressure via changes in optic nerve sheath diameter and haemodynamic instability through the evaluation of the caudal vena cava and cardiac function. Clinical Significance: The described ultrasound examination protocol can be rapidly performed on dogs suffering from trauma during resuscitation and it may detect injuries previously undetectable using other veterinary point‐of‐care ultrasound protocols.

Abstract

Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is a congenital hereditary condition caused by a dominant autosomal mutation. The orthodontic management of CCD patients is often complicated by the manifestations associated with the condition. The aim of this study was to evaluate the oral manifestations of patients suffering from CCD. The subjects underwent a thorough clinical evaluation that examined both hard and soft tissue. The subjects also underwent an X-ray examination in order to isolate possible anomalies in the stomach region related to the condition. Case 1 presented with a bilateral cross-bite, retention of deciduous teeth, presence of supernumerary teeth and agenesis. Case 2 presented with bilateral cross-bite, retention of deciduous teeth, and the presence of supernumerary teeth. The individuals in this study represent a broad range of typical CCD manifestations and confirm the close correlation between the mutation at CBFA1 level and the presence or oral-dental alterations. An early diagnosis of CCD is essential and based on clinical manifestations, x-ray evidence and genetic tests. Diagnosing the condition can be difficult in cases where there are no evident morphological signs; however, in most cases, an alteration in the rhythm of deciduous tooth loss is immediately apparent, making a closer collaboration between dentists and geneticists fundamental in achieving early diagnosis. As stated above, the timing of the treatment is crucial in establishing a correct course of treatment that involves extractions, orthodontic surgery and the use of prosthetics.

Abstract

Endothelial cells and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play a key role in the pathogenesis of vascular disease. Both cell types are affected by the oxidative stress but their susceptibility may be different. This study aimed to investigate the antioxidative enzymes activated in EPCs after high constant glucose exposure as compared to endothelial cells (HUVECs). Both cells were incubated in the presence of normal (5mM) and high constant (25mM) d-glucose, as well as l-glucose as osmotic control for 48 and 96h. After a 48-hour exposure to high d-glucose, cell viability was significantly decreased both in EPCs and HUVECs as compared with normal d-glucose (p0.01). However, after 96h there was no difference between EPCs grown on normal or high d-glucose, while HUVEC viability was affected by high d-glucose at 96h too (p0.001). High d-glucose exposure induced a significant increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in both cell types at 48h; however, after 96h, a significant decrease in ROS production (p0.01) and a parallel marked increase in glutathione peroxidase type 1 (GPx-1) expression (p0.01) and activity (p0.01) were observed in EPCs compared to HUVECs. These data suggest that EPCs have a well-adaptive response to oxidative stress induced by constant and sustained high glucose exposure. This resistance to high glucose levels might be due to increased expression and activity of glutathione peroxidase allowing better cell survival.

Abstract

Background and purpose The term hereditary spastic paraplegia ( HSP) covers a spectrum of genetically heterogeneous disorders in which lower limb spasticity is the common clinical feature. Many patients with childhood-onset HSP are mistakenly diagnosed with cerebral palsy ( CP). Methods A group of as yet molecularly undiagnosed HSP patients were analyzed using SpastoPlex , a customized target re-sequencing panel able to investigate the coding regions of 72 genes linked to HSP, spastic ataxias or related motor diseases. Results Our investigations identified loss-of-function mutations in AP4S1/ SPG52 in four children (three families) who had previously received a diagnosis of diplegic/quadriplegic CP. The patients presented spastic paraparesis, mild facial dysmorphisms, moderate-to-severe intellectual disability and severe speech delay. Two patients manifested febrile seizures and childhood-onset focal seizures. In all the patients, brain magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) showed a peculiar hypoplastic posterior corpus callosum, often associated with ventriculomegaly, white matter loss and cerebral atrophy. Conclusion Adaptor protein 4 (AP-4) deficiency disorders should be suspected in children with spastic paraparesis, cognitive deficit and absent speech accompanied by suggestive MRI features. Seizures might be amongst the clinical manifestations of the syndrome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
