This randomized clinical trial compares the effect of high-intensity noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) vs low-intensity NPPV on the need for endotracheal intubation in patients with an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and hypercapnia.
High-intensity noninvasive ventilation was first used more than 20 years ago in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic hypercapnia. High-intensity noninvasive ventilation aims to achieve normocapnia or to reduce elevated Paco2 levels to the maximally achievable extent. For this purpose, the driving pressure, mainly achieved by modifying the inspiratory positive airway pressure, is individually titrated by a stepwise increase until normocapnia is established or the...

This study uses data from Medicare Cost Reports to investigate the financial benefit US nonprofit hospitals receive from their tax-exempt status and outlines a standardized estimation methodology that can be replicated at the state and local levels.
This randomized clinical trial assesses the role of antitachycardia pacing in terminating fast ventricular tachycardia in primary prevention patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators with contemporary programming.
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) decrease all-cause mortality in patients at high risk for ventricular arrhythmias, especially those with reduced left ventricular systolic function, and this mortality benefit is directly related to termination of these potentially life-threatening arrhythmias. Transvenous ICDs, which comprise an implanted pulse generator and 1 or more leads inside the heart, can terminate many ventricular tachycardias (VTs) with either a high-energy discharge (shock) or antitachycardia pacing (ATP).

In Reply We appreciate the letter from Dr Hu regarding additional points of consideration for our study on CKD. We agree that it is critical to consider pregnancy in studies assessing sex disparities in health care. For our study, females of reproductive age accounted for only 0.8% of our cohort (n = 35). We did not expect this small number of patients to change our results, so we did not plan a subgroup analysis. However, the care of patients before, during, and after pregnancy highlights opportunities for future research. Читать дальше...
To the Editor Although the study by Dr Rodriguez and colleagues provides a solid foundation for understanding gender differences in chronic kidney disease (CKD) management, several issues merit further discussion to enhance the study’s contributions to this critical area of health care.
The long list of empathy killers in medical practice is familiar: time constraints, financial imperatives, cross-cultural misunderstanding, interposed electronic health records, distancing telemedicine. Most alarmingly, now AI-based chatbots with their manufactured empathy threaten to supersede genuine human care. As these barriers between clinicians and patients grow, poetry can be critical in preserving the heartfelt empathy that joins us in healing. Many descriptive studies and some quantitative research support this assertion. Читать дальше...
