Summary: This study aims to compare and evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of lung ultrasound (LUS) compared to chest X-ray in excluding pneumothorax after bronchoscopies. The results showed that LUS has high specificity and negative predictive value, although its sensitivity is low, it can still diagnose pneumothorax early and prevent treatment delays.

Summary: Lung ultrasound is a low-cost, radiation-free, and easy-to-operate tool that has high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, transient tachypnoea of newborns, and pneumothorax. However, it has limitations in some other lung diseases due to reflection artifacts.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of lung ultrasound for delayed pneumothorax post transthoracic needle biopsy. The results showed that lung ultrasound can effectively predict clinically meaningful delayed pneumothorax after the biopsy with a sensitivity of 100% for detecting the need for chest tube replacement.

Summary: This study compared the acute effects of traditional resistance training and superset training on training duration, training volume, and perceptive measures. The results showed that superset training was more time-efficient but resulted in reduced training volume and was perceived with greater exertion and discomfort.

Summary: This meta-analysis investigates the impact of individualised positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) vs fixed PEEP during abdominal surgery on postoperative pulmonary outcomes. The results show that individualised PEEP reduces the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications, improves oxygenation, and reduces systemic inflammation.

Summary: This study analyzes the moral distress perceived by critical care providers in intensive care units or emergency departments and explores the relationship between reliance on spiritual resources and perceived moral distress. The results show that job position and satisfaction affect the perception of moral distress among CCPs, and emotional exhaustion is the best predictor of moral distress.

Summary: This study aimed to validate and compare different pulmonary risk scoring systems in predicting postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in lung resection surgery. A single-center cohort of lung resection surgeries was used for the study. The accuracy of several pulmonary risk scoring systems, including ARISCAT, LAS VEGAS, SPORC, and CARDOT, was assessed, and it was found that none of the scoring systems had adequate discriminatory power to predict PPCs, highlighting the need for an alternative risk score in thoracic surgery to better predict complications.

Summary: The Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany attracts around 6 million visitors each year, but it also leads to numerous accidents and hand injuries due to alcohol intake and disorderly activities. This study analyzed data from the regional emergency medical service over a 9-year period and found that severe hand injuries increased by 66% during the Oktoberfest period compared to years without the event. The findings highlight the high risk of hand injuries during Oktoberfest and emphasize the importance of this research for visitors, hand surgeons, paramedics, and emergency department healthcare workers.
