    Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe condition with high morbidity and mortality, characterized by significant clinical heterogeneity. This heterogeneity complicates treatment selection and patient inclusion in clinical trials. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify physiological subphenotypes of ARDS using machine learning, and to determine ventilatory variables that can effectively discriminate between these subphenotypes in a bedside setting with high performance, highlighting potential utility for future clinical stratification approaches.</jats:p> Methodology A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from our ICU, covering admissions from 2017 to 2021. The study included 224 patients over 18 years of age diagnosed with ARDS according to the Berlin criteria and undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Data on physiological and ventilatory variables were collected during the first 24 h IMV. We applied machine learning techniques to categorize subphenotypes in ARDS patients. Initially, we employed the unsupervised Gaussian Mixture Classification Model approach to group patients into subphenotypes. Subsequently, we applied supervised models such as XGBoost to perform root cause analysis, evaluate the classification of patients into these subgroups, and measure their performance.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Results</jats:title> <jats:p>Our models identified two ARDS subphenotypes with significant clinical differences and significant outcomes. Subphenotype Efficient (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 172) was characterized by lower mortality, lower clinical severity and presented a less restrictive pattern with better gas exchange compared to Subphenotype Restrictive (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 52), which showed the opposite. The models demonstrated high performance with an area under the ROC curve of 0.94, sensitivity of 94.2% and specificity of 87.5%, in addition to an F1 score of 0.85. The most influential variables in the discrimination of subphenotypes were distension pressure, respiratory frequency and exhaled carbon dioxide volume.Conclusion This study presents an approach to improve subphenotype categorization in ARDS. The generation of clustering and prediction models by machine learning involving clinical, ventilatory mechanics, and gas exchange variables allowed for more accurate stratification of patients. These findings have the potential to optimize individualized treatment selection and improve clinical outcomes in patients with ARDS.</jats:p> Graphical Abstract

    <jats:p>The effect of perinatal asphyxia (PA) on oligodendrocyte (OL), neuroinflammation, and cell viability was evaluated in telencephalon of rats at postnatal day (P)1, 7, and 14, a period characterized by a spur of neuronal networking, evaluating the effect of mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs)-treatment. The issue was investigated with a rat model of global PA, mimicking a clinical risk occurring under labor. PA was induced by immersing fetus-containing uterine horns into a water bath for 21 min (AS), using sibling-caesarean-delivered fetuses (CS) as controls. Two hours after delivery, AS and CS neonates were injected with either 5 μL of vehicle (10% plasma) or 5 × 104 MSCs into the lateral ventricle. Samples were assayed for myelin-basic protein (MBP) levels; Olig-1/Olig-2 transcriptional factors; Gglial phenotype; neuroinflammation, and delayed cell death. The main effects were observed at P7, including: (i) A decrease of MBP-immunoreactivity in external capsule, corpus callosum, cingulum, but not in fimbriae of hippocampus; (ii) an increase of Olig-1-mRNA levels; (iii) an increase of IL-6-mRNA, but not in protein levels; (iv) an increase in cell death, including OLs; and (v) MSCs treatment prevented the effect of PA on myelination, OLs number, and cell death. The present findings show that PA induces regional- and developmental-dependent changes on myelination and OLs maturation. Neonatal MSCs treatment improves survival of mature OLs and myelination in telencephalic white matter.</jats:p>

    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec> <jats:title>Background</jats:title> <jats:p>Mechanical power is a composite variable for energy transmitted to the respiratory system over time that may better capture risk for ventilator-induced lung injury than individual ventilator management components.

    <jats:sec> <jats:title>Introduction:</jats:title> <jats:p>High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) is a novel technique for respiratory support that improves oxygenation. In some patients, it may reduce the work of breathing. In immunocompromised patients with Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF), Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) is the main support recommended strategy, since invasive mechanical ventilation could increase mortality rates. NIV used for more than 48 hours may be associated with increased in-hospital mortality and hospital length of stay. Therefore HFNC seems like a respiratory support alternative.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Objective:</jats:title> <jats:p>To describe clinical outcomes of immunocompromised patients with ARF HFNC-supported.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods:</jats:title> <jats:p>Retrospective study in patients admitted with ARF and HFNC-supported. 25 adult patients were included, 21 pharmacologically and 4 non- pharmacologically immunosuppressed. Median age of the patients was 64 [60-76] years, APACHE II 15 [11-19], and PaO2:FiO2 218 [165-248]. Demographic information, origin of immunosuppression, Respiratory Rate (RR), Heart Rate (HR), Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP), oxygen saturation (SpO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>) and PaO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>:FiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> ratio were extracted from clinical records of our HFNC local protocol. Data acquisition was performed before and after the first 24 hours of connection. In addition, the need for greater ventilatory support after HFNC, orotracheal intubation, in-hospital mortality and 90 days out-patients’ mortality was recorded.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Results:</jats:title> <jats:p>Mean RR before the connection was 25±22 breaths/min and 22±4 breaths/min after the first 24 hours of HFNC use (95% CI; p=0.02). HR mean before connection to HFNC was 96±22 beats/min, and after, it was 86±15 beats/min (95%CI; p=0.008). Previous mean MAP was 86±15 mmHg, and after HFNC, it was 80±12 mmHg (95%CI; p=0.09); mean SpO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> after was 93±5% and before it was 95±4% (95% CI; p=0.13); and previous PaO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>:FiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> mean was 219±66, and after it was 324±110 (95%CI; p=0.52). In-hospital mortality was 28% and 90 days out-patients’ mortality was 32%.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusion:</jats:title> <jats:p>HFNC in immunosuppressed ARF subjects significantly decreases HR and RR, being apparently an effective alternative to decrease work of breathing. In-hospital mortality in ARF immunosuppressed patients was high even though respiratory support was used. Better studies are needed to define the role of HFNC-support in ARF.</jats:p> </jats:sec>
