Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
A Prospective Randomized Comparison of INTELLIVENT-ASV and PSV Modes in Terms of Weaning in Intensive Care Patients, Istanbul, Turkiye.
INTELLIVENT-Adaptive Support Ventilation (I-ASV; C6; Hamilton Medical; Bonaduz, Switzerland) is a closed-loop ventilation mode that continuously controls the patient's ventilation and oxygenation. It sets the minute ventilation, PEEP, and oxygen levels based on the targets set by the clinician and on physiological input from the patient. ⋯ I-ASV mode had no effect on weaning duration compared to PSV mode but decreased PEEP, FiO2, Pinsp, and Ppeak values in weaning patients.

Deep-lobe tumors have been shown to possess a significantly thicker capsule with less tumor penetration compared to superficial tumors. Thus, more conservative surgical approaches, rather than aggressive methods, have been proposed for treating benign deep-lobe tumors of the parotid gland. ⋯ SDLP may facilitate the safe surgical removal of benign lesions located in the deep lobe of the parotid gland, with oncological safety, reduced complication rates, and improved cosmetic outcomes.

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is used commonly for a wide range of indications. The complications after the total shoulder replacements have been reported to be related with the prosthesis design. The type of the humeral stem is a consideration to reduce complication. Radiographic changes are seen at a high rate with new-generation press-fit stems. ⋯ The increased radiographic stress shielding adaptation leading to humeral osteolysis was found to have a negative effect on the functional results with the press-fit technique irrespective of stem design.

This study investigates the association between the presence of diverticula in the colon and esophagus and the occurrence of hiatal hernia, seeking to understand potential shared pathophysiological underpinnings and risk factors. ⋯ The study demonstrates a notable association between hiatal hernias and the presence of both colonic and esophageal diverticula, suggesting common pathophysiological processes. These findings highlight the need for further research into shared risk factors and mechanisms underlying these conditions, potentially guiding improved management strategies for affected patients.

Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is employed in caries prevention and treatment; however, tooth discoloration post treatment is a significant disadvantage, which can be reduced using glutathione (GSH), a water soluble tripeptide. ⋯ The use of GSH along with SDF helps in reducing the discoloration without compromising the shear bond strength.
