A subgroup of patients with obesity exhibits hypoventilation as a result of, among other mechanisms, a narrow, collapsible upper airway (UA), a reduced ventilatory drive during both wakefulness and sleep, and the loss of pharyngeal muscle tone during sleep. These features characterize obesity-hypoventilation syndrome (OHS). If left untreated, OHS is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Besides lifestyle modifications, positive airway pressure (PAP) is the only available treatment, and it is often not well tolerated. Drugs designed to activate UA muscles such as atomoxetine and to stimulate breathing such as acetazolamide represent a potential novel strategy for treating OHS.

Thoracoscopy guidelines recommend inducing artificial pneumothorax before medical thoracoscopy in patients with minimal or absent pleural effusion. Single-arm studies have demonstrated that nonartificial pneumothorax approaches reduce operative time and complication rates compared with artificial pneumothorax techniques in these patients. However, there is a lack of trials comparing the effectiveness and safety of performing artificial pneumothorax vs not performing it in these cases.

The routine use of CT imaging and lung cancer screening has increased the identification of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs). Sampling may be needed for some nodules. Many new technologies are available to improve the diagnostic performance of bronchoscopy for the sampling of PPLs, but few comparative trials exist. The objective of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of bronchoscopy with radial endobronchial ultrasound (rEBUS) using an ultrathin bronchoscope (BF-MP190F; Olympus) with a non-ultrathin bronchoscope and to compare the diagnostic performance of bronchoscopy with and without rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE).

More than 600,000 adults in the United States experience an out-of-hospital or in-hospital cardiac arrest each year. Following resuscitation from cardiac arrest, most patients receive mechanical ventilation. The oxygenation target that optimizes neurologic outcomes following cardiac arrest is uncertain.

Airway management is a critical component of the care of patients experiencing cardiac arrest, but data from randomized trials on the use of video vs direct laryngoscopy for intubation in the setting of cardiac arrest are limited. Current American Heart Association guidelines recommend placement of an endotracheal tube either during CPR or shortly after return of spontaneous circulation, but do not provide guidance around intubation methods, including the choice of laryngoscope.

Adaptation of the right ventricle is a key determinant of outcomes in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Despite a compelling rationale to develop targeted therapies for the right ventricle in PAH, no such treatments exist. H2-receptor antagonism is a potential myocardial-focused paradigm in heart failure.
