چکیده
To the Editor:—We read the article “Controlled Airway Pressure Therapy, Nitric Oxide Inhalation, Prone Position, and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) as Components of an Integrated Approach to ARDS” with great interest, and we congratulate the authors for their well-conducted study. A lung-protective strategy with reduction of shear stress by keeping positive end-expiratory pressure above the lower inflection point and avoiding overdistension by keeping peak airway pressure below the upper inflection point of the pressure– volume curve produces good results. At our institution, the ventilatory management of acute respiratory distress syndrome is pressure-controlled ventilation and the attempt to achieve optimal positive end-expiratory pressure derived from pressure– volume curves, as documented by Lazarus approximately 15 yr ago. Although this first evidence of lung volume–oriented ventilation did not receive a good response, Ullrich et al. supported this approach in their large-scale clinical study. Therefore, clinical experience with the pressure–volume approach of the 1980s and recent scientific evidence should have the desired impact on ventilation strategy in critical care units. We hope to gain more clinical experience from such studies to help us in critical care medicine in the 21st century.

DDH Epidemiology Revisited: Do We Need New Strategies?
Background: Although the developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is well known to pediatric orthopedists, its etiology has still remained unknown and despite dedication of a vast majority of research, the results are still inadequate and confusing. The exact incidence of DDH and its relationship with known risk factors in Iran is still unknown. Here we represent the results of one year study o...
متن کاملSOLVING FUZZY LINEAR PROGRAMMING PROBLEMS WITH LINEAR MEMBERSHIP FUNCTIONS-REVISITED
Recently, Gasimov and Yenilmez proposed an approach for solving two kinds of fuzzy linear programming (FLP) problems. Through the approach, each FLP problem is first defuzzified into an equivalent crisp problem which is non-linear and even non-convex. Then, the crisp problem is solved by the use of the modified subgradient method. In this paper we will have another look at the earlier defuzzifi...
متن کاملThe J = 2 ortho levels of the v = 0 to 6 np singlet Rydberg series of molecular hydrogen revisited.
The energies of the J = 2 ortho levels of the v = 0 to 6 Rydberg np singlet series of molecular hydrogen with absolute intensities of the R(1) and P(3) absorption lines were measured by a high-resolution synchrotron radiation experiment and calculated through a full ab initio multi-channel quantum defect approach.
متن کاملCommunication Strategies Revisited: Looking beyond Interactional and Psycholinguistic Perspectives
Second language (L2) communication strategies (CSs) have traditionally been dealt with through either interactional or psychological perspectives. However, this paper is a critical attempt to question the status of the particular kinds of psycholinguistic and interactional approaches that currently dominate the field of second language acquisition (SLA). In this way, it expands the significance...
متن کاملLegitimation in Discourse and Communication Revisited: A Critical View towards Legitimizing Identities in Communication
The various and multifaceted wars in the Middle East have brought about weird complications in the already challenging multifarious international relations and interactions. The media coverage of terroristic threats in the Middle East and the European countries as well as United States has often targeted Muslim identity. The present study is aimed at analyzing Barack Obama's speech at Baltimore...
