Background: Air pollution is an important environmental issue due to its proven serious impacts on human health. The aim of this study was to estimate the attribution of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameters of ≤ 2.5 and 10 (PM and PM) in the prevalence of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and premature deaths in Isfahan in 2013-2014.

Materials And Methods: This descriptive, ecological study was conducted to assess health impacts of PM and PM on the population using Air Q software, suggested by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Results: The results showed that the annual mean, winter mean, summer mean, and the 98 percentile of PM concentration in Isfahan were 108, 100, 116, and 264 μg/m, respectively. The number of deaths per year related to PM was 670 and that for PM was 713 cases. The number of annual deaths due to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases attributed to PM was 316 and 68 cases, respectively.

Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that about 44.3% of total annual death due to cardiovascular diseases and 9.55% of that due to respiratory diseases were attributed to PM exposure. In the other word, residents were exposed to PM and PM concentrations higher than the WHO guidelines which caused a notable increase in the rate of mortality.

Initiation of an inter-hospital extracorporeal membrane oxygenation transfer programme for critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019: bringing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support to peripheral hospitals.

Authors:
Martin O Schmiady Michael Hofmann Juri Sromicki Maximilian Halbe Koen van Tilburg Raed Aser Carlos A Mestres Francesco Maisano Enrico Ferrari

Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg 2021 Feb 27. Epub 2021 Feb 27.

Division of Cardiac Surgery, University Heart Center, University Hospital of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.

Objectives: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a resource-intensive, highly specialized and expensive therapy that is often reserved for high-volume centres. In recent years, we established an inter-hospital ECMO transfer programme that enables ECMO implants in peripheral hospitals. During the pandemic, the programme was expanded to include ECMO support in selected critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Read More

Background: Cardiac fatty acid metabolism is essential for maintaining normal cardiac function at baseline and in response to various disease stress, like diabetes. EP4 is widely expressed in cardiomyocytes and has been demonstrated to play a role in cardio function. However, its function in regulating cardiac fatty acid metabolism is remained unknown.

Anupriya Adhikari Priya Singh Kamalesh S Mahar Manish Adhikari Bhawana Adhikari Ming-Rong Zhang Anjani Kumar Tiwari

Mol Pharm 2021 Mar 1. Epub 2021 Mar 1.

Department of Chemistry, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, (A Central University), Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh 226025, India.

Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of the translocator 18 kDa protein (TSPO) with radioligands has become an effective means of research in peripheral inflammatory conditions that occur in many diseases and cancers. The peripheral sterile inflammatory diseases (PSIDs) are associated with a diverse group of disorders that comprises numerous enduring insults including the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, or musculoskeletal system. TSPO has recently been introduced as a potential biomarker for peripheral sterile inflammatory diseases (PSIDs). Read More

Nurses' Perceptions of Telemedicine Adoption in the Intensive Care Unit.

Authors:
Roberta Kaplow Mary Zellinger

Am J Crit Care 2021 Mar;30(2):122-127

Mary Zellinger is a clinical nurse specialist at Emory University Hospital, Atlanta, Georgia.

Background: With telemedicine technology, off-site expert clinicians can consult in real time with bedside nurses and providers. The success of telemedicine may depend on its acceptance by bedside nurses and providers.

Objectives: To compare nurses' perceptions of telemedicine in 2 intensive care units (ICUs) at Emory University Hospital, an academic medical center, and to determine the relation between nurses' years of ICU experience and their perceptions of telemedicine in the hospital's ICUs (Emory e-ICU Center).
