Aims: The Oxygen Reserve Index (ORI) is a novel, noninvasive parameter that reflects moderate hyperoxic states. However, its relationship with PaO in the pediatric population remains poorly understood. We investigated the ORI-PaO relationship during pediatric cardiac surgery and identified its influencing factors.
Methods: This prospective observational study included 98 pediatric patients (< 7 years of age) who underwent cardiac surgery for congenital heart defects. ORI and PaO were measured at FiO levels of 0.21, 0.5, and 0.8, both before and after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Linear mixed models and regression analyses were used to examine the relationship between ORI and PaO by incorporating covariates such as hemoglobin (Hb), ejection fraction (EF), and perfusion index (PI). Locally weighted regression analysis was conducted to identify potential PaO thresholds influencing this relationship.
Results: A total of 487 data samples were analyzed. A nonlinear relationship between ORI and PaO was observed, with a threshold of 245 mmHg dividing the data into two distinct ranges. Pearson correlation coefficients between ORI and PaO were significant in both ranges: 0.516 (PaO ≤ 245 mmHg, p < 0.001) and 0.151 (PaO > 245 mmHg, p = 0.035). Although Hb level and EF showed no impact, only PI had a mildly negative relationship with ORI before CPB. The relationship between ORI and PaO remained consistent across both pre- and post-CPB periods (r = 0.304 and 0.337, respectively).
Conclusion: ORI consistently correlates with PaO in children undergoing cardiac surgery, is unaffected by Hb or EF, and may serve as a useful tool for monitoring oxygenation trends.

The harvest of animals from the wild is a pervasive selective force, especially in fisheries, where harvesting often targets individuals with specific traits. While most research has focused on large-scale commercial or recreational fisheries, little attention has been paid to artisanal fisheries, particularly those targeting ornamental species. Furthermore, environmental factors such as temperature and oxygen levels influence the behaviour of fishes, such as boldness and sociability, but their role in the harvesting process remains poorly understood.

Background: Pulmonary hypertension is associated with cardiovascular events, but when assessed at rest, it has limited sensitivity. Pulmonary vascular reserve can be assessed noninvasively using exercise echocardiography, but this has not been studied in adults with coarctation of aorta (COA). We hypothesized that adults with COA had worse pulmonary vascular reserve compared to controls, and that impaired pulmonary vascular reserve was associated with clinical indices of disease severity independent right ventricular (RV) indices at rest.

In this context, we evaluated the photodynamic effects of four cationic tetra-(pyridyl)porphyrins against Vaccinia virus Western Reserve (VACV WR) and Monkeypox virus (MPXV). The porphyrins were initially analyzed for cytotoxicity to Vero cells by MTT assay and the maximal non-cytotoxic concentrations were used in virucidal assays. For virucidal assays, VACV-WR (107.

Background: Remimazolam is a short-acting benzodiazepine with less cardiorespiratory depression compared with propofol. The Oxygen Reserve Index (ORi) reflects oxygenation status in the mild hyperoxic range and can detect subtle respiratory depression induced by sedatives.
Objective: We compared remimazolam and propofol in patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and assessed the ORi to evaluate the impact of these sedatives on oxygen reserve.

Background: This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the safety of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in patients with blunt thoracic trauma, with particular focus on crush injuries sustained during the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes.
Methods: Twenty-five patients with documented thoracic trauma who underwent HBOT at a tertiary care center were included. HBOT was delivered at 2.
