BLOOD-BASED MULTI-CANCER EARLY DETECTION TESTS (MCEDS) AS A POTENTIAL APPROACH TO ADDRESS CURRENT GAPS IN CANCER SCREENING

Blood-Based Multi-Cancer Early Detection Tests (MCEDs) as a Potential Approach to Address Current Gaps in Cancer Screening

Screening and early detection is one of the most effective approaches to reduce the population-level impact of cancer.Novel approaches to screening such as multi-cancer early detection tests (MCEDs) may further reduce cancer incidence and mortality.Many MCEDs detect fragments of circulating DNA containing mutations that originated from tumour cells

Positive End-Expiratory Pressure Setting in COVID-19-Related Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Comparison Between Electrical Impedance Tomography, PEEP/FiO2 Tables, and Transpulmonary Pressure

Introduction: The best way to titrate the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in patients suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome is still matter of debate.Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive technique that could guide PEEP setting based on an optimized ventilation homogeneity.Methods: For this study, we enrolled

A life-threatening respiratory syncytial virus infection: a previously healthy infant with bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax and acute respiratory distress syndrome

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of viral respiratory tract infections in infants and young children.Although the course of RSV infection is usually benign, a small proportion of infants require mechanical ventilation for respiratory failure.We describe an eight-month-old previously healthy female who developed bilateral pneum
