    • Global critical care a call to action
    Authors: Ana Maria, Crawford; Ananya Abate, Shiferaw; Papytcho, Ntambwe;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    Critical care is underprioritized. A global call to action is needed to increase equitable access to care and the quality of care provided to critically ill patients. Current challenges to effective critical care in resource-constrained settings are many. Estimates of the burden of critical illness are extrapolated from common etiologies, but the true burden remains ill-defined. Measuring the burden of critical illness is epidemiologically challenging but is thought to be increasing. Resources, infrastructure, and training are inadequate. Millions die unnecessarily due to critical illness.
    • Clinical features and markers to identify pulmonary lesions caused by infection or vasculitis in AAV patients
    Authors: Yujuan, Wang; Zhuan, Qu; Wei, Liang;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    Pulmonary lesion is frequently seen in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) patients primarily due to AAV lung involvement or infection, which are hard to differentiate due to their high similarity in clinical manifestations. We aimed to analyze the clinical features of pulmonary lesions consequent to AAV involvement or infection in AAV patients and further identify the markers for differential diagnosis.
    • Correction High arterial oxygen levels and supplemental oxygen administration in traumatic brain injury insights from CENTER-TBI and OzENTER-TBI
    Authors: Emanuele, Rezoagli; Matteo, Petrosino; Paola, Rebora;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    Figure 1 contained some incorrect colors of the representative country flags that are now corrected. Figure 3 was updated: we represented the interaction between PaO2max and FiO2max with mortality in both panels. Consequently, the Figure 3 caption was edited as follows: “Fig. 3. Tensor cubic spline for the interaction between PaO2max and FiO2max with GFAP. In panel A on the left, we represented the tensor cubic spline with 4 degrees of freedom each, used for the interaction between PaO2max and GFAP in the multivariable logistic model with 6-month mortality as the outcome (i.e. model 2 of Table 2)
    • Objective structured clinical examination in basic thoracic ultrasound: a European study of validity evidence
    Authors: Pia Iben, Pietersen; Rahul, Bhatnagar; Freja, Andreasen;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    Basic thoracic ultrasound is being used more frequently by clinicians in several settings due to its high diagnostic accuracy for many common causes of respiratory failure and dyspnoea. However, ultrasound examinations are operator-dependent, and sufficient competences are needed to obtain high sensitivity and specificity of examinations. Additionally, it is crucial for ultrasound operators to perceive the competence to interpret the images and integrate them into the patient history and other examinations. This study aims to explore and gather validity evidence for an objective structured clinical examination test of basic thoracic ultrasound competences and establish a pass/fail score.
    • Endobronchial metastasis secondary to occulting renal cell carcinoma: literature review and a rare case report
    Authors: Seif-Aldin Abdul, Rahman; Ali Abdul, Rahman; Samer, Rajab;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    Endobronchial Metastasis from extrathoracic tumors is a rare neoplasm that accounts for approximately 1.1% of total endobronchial malignancies. The most common primary tumors associated with EBM are from the colorectal, breast, and kidney regions. Although it represents a late manifestation in the context of tumor progression, it can rarely antedate the diagnosis of the primary tumor.
