Non-invasive oxygenation strategies such as high-flow nasal cannula, continuous positive airway pressure, and non-invasive bilevel ventilation can effectively avoid intubation in patients with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure. These strategies can be delivered through interfaces like facemasks or helmets. Avoiding unnecessary intubation has become...Read more

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is difficult to detect primarily because of the lack of measurable indicators – or biomarkers – before patients exhibit symptoms of this form of dementia. However, damage to the brain occurs years before AD is already symptomatic and advanced. New research from the University of Minnesota has looked into a promising...Read more
