Efficacy of portable sleep monitoring device in diagnosing central sleep apnea in patients with congestive heart failure
IntroductionCentral sleep apnea (CSA) is a common and serious comorbidity mainly occurring in patients with heart failure (HF), which tends to be underdiagnosed and has not been widely studied. Overnight polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for diagnosing CSA; however, the time and expense of…

Trichostatin A attenuates ventilation-augmented epithelial-mesenchymal transition in mice with bleomycin-induced acute lung injury by suppressing the Akt pathway
Background: Mechanical ventilation (MV) used in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can cause diffuse lung inflammation, an effect termed ventilator-induced lung injury, which may produce profound pulmonary fibrogenesis. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) and serine/threonine…

Course and predictors of posttraumatic stress-related symptoms among family members of deceased ICU patients during the first year of bereavement
Abstract Background/Objective Death in intensive care units (ICUs) may increase bereaved family members’ risk for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, posttraumatic stress-related symptoms (hereafter as PTSD symptoms) and their precipitating factors were seldom examined among bereaved…

ICU bereaved surrogates’ comorbid psychological-distress states and their associations with prolonged grief disorder
Abstract Background/objective Bereaved ICU family surrogates’ psychological distress, e.g., anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), is usually examined independently, despite the well-recognized comorbidity of these symptoms. Furthermore, the few studies exploring impact of…

Effects of Pressure Control Device (SensAwake™) on Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Patients Who Remove the Mask for Unknown Reasons during Automatic Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (Auto-CPAP) Therapy: A Prospective Randomized Crossover Trial
Backgroundand Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients may remove their mask unconsciously during automatic continuous positive airway pressure (Auto-CPAP) therapy and therefore cannot receive good treatment. The discomfort from the airflow of Auto-CPAP may be one reason for interrupted…

Hypercapnic Ventilatory Response in the Weaning of Patients with Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation
Objective. To investigate whether hypercapnic ventilatory response (defined as the ratio of the change in minute ventilation [ΔV˙E] to the change in end-tidal partial pressure of carbon dioxide [ΔPETCO2]) is a predictor of successful weaning in patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV)…

Increased Death of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells after TLR4 Inhibition in Sepsis Is Not via TNF/TNF Receptor-Mediated Apoptotic Pathway
Background. Apoptosis is one of the causes of immune depression in sepsis. Pyroptosis also occurs in sepsis. The toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 and receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) have been shown to play important roles in apoptosis and pyroptosis. However, it is still unknown…

Increased C-C Chemokine Receptor 2 Gene Expression in Monocytes of Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients and under Intermittent Hypoxia
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is known to be a risk factor of coronary artery disease. The chemotaxis and adhesion of monocytes to the endothelium in the early atherosclerosis is important. This study aimed to investigate the effect of intermittent hypoxia, the hallmark of OSA, on the…

How symptoms of prolonged grief disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and depression relate to each other for grieving ICU families during the first two years of bereavement
Abstract Background Bereaved ICU family surrogates are at risk of comorbid prolonged grief disorder (PGD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and depression. Knowledge about temporal relationships between PGD, PTSD, and depression is limited by a lack of relevant studies and diverse or…

Decreased Monocyte HLA-DR Expression in Patients with Sepsis and Acute Kidney Injury
Background and objectives: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in critically ill patients, especially those with sepsis. Persistently low human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR expression in monocytes reflects the decreased function of antigen-presenting cells, contributing to poor outcomes in sepsis…

Temporal reciprocal relationships among anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder for family surrogates from intensive care units over their first two bereavement years
Abstract Background/Objective Bereaved family surrogates from intensive care units (ICU) are at risk of comorbid anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but the temporal reciprocal relationships among them have only been examined once among veterans. This study aimed to…

The Association between Mechanical Power and Mortality in Patients with Pneumonia Using Pressure-Targeted Ventilation
Recent studies have reported that mechanical power (MP) is associated with increased mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We aimed to investigate the association between 28-day mortality and MP in patients with severe pneumonia. In total, the data of 313 patients…

Using sleep heart rate variability to investigate the sleep quality in children with obstructive sleep apnea
BackgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with impaired sleep quality and autonomic dysfunction. Adenotonsillectomy significantly improves subjective and objective sleep quality in children with OSA. However, the postoperative changes in heart rate variability (HRV) indices (indicators…
