Cognitive stimulation in ICU patients: should we pay more attention?
ICUs have raised survival rates, but they have highlighted the need to reduce the morbidity of ICU patients and improve their short-and long-term functional outcomes. Frequently these patients, especially with acute respiratory distress syndrome, present neuro-cognitive impairments [1] that extend beyond their acute phase and hospital stay and lead to signifi cant defi cits in quality of life [...
متن کاملRare childhood diseases: how should we respond?
Paradoxically, rare diseases are common, collectively affecting 6-10% of the population and have a huge impact on patients and families, health services, clinicians and the wider community. Accurate data are required to inform clinical practice, government policy and health service planning.

متن کاملNoninvasive ventilation and the upper airway: should we pay more attention?
In an effort to reduce the complications related to invasive ventilation, the use of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has increased over the last years in patients with acute respiratory failure. However, failure rates for NIV remain high in specific patient categories. Several studies have identified factors that contribute to NIV failure, including low experience of the medical team and patient-...
متن کاملMaximizing pollutant removal in constructed wetlands: should we pay more attention to macrophyte species selection?
While the positive role of macrophytes on removal efficiency in constructed wetlands has been well established, possible differences in performance between plants species of comparable life forms and sizes are much harder to demonstrate. We reviewed 35 experimental studies published in peer-reviewed journals and proceedings on the effect of macrophyte species selection on pollutant removal in S...
