BACKGROUND: The Albumin-Bilirubin (ALBI) grade was initially used to assess liver reserve function in patients with cirrhosis and has since been applied in the prognostic evaluation of various diseases. This study explored the relationship between th...

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the feasibility of a deep learning model, using a transfer learning approach, for recognizing high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) on chest X-ray images and exploring its capability for assessing severity.
PURPOSE: B-lines in lung ultrasound have been a critical clue for detecting pulmonary edema. However, distinguishing B-lines from other artifacts is a challenge, especially for novice point of care ultrasound (POCUS) practitioners. This study aimed t...
BACKGROUND: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) developed the Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock Performance Measure bundle (SEP-1) metric to improve sepsis care, but evidence supporting this bundle is limited and harms secondary to comp...

OBJECTIVE: Scanning protocols for lung ultrasound often include 8 or more lung zones, which may limit real-world clinical use. We sought to compare a 2-zone, anterior-superior thoracic ultrasound protocol for B-line artifact detection with an 8-zone ...
BACKGROUND: A quantitative assessment of pulmonary edema is important because the clinical severity can range from mild impairment to life threatening. A quantitative surrogate measure, although invasive, for pulmonary edema is the extravascular lung...
AIMS: Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) presents with pulmonary congestion, which is caused by an increased pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP). PAWP is strongly associated with prognosis, but its quantitative evaluation is often difficul...
The efforts made to prevent the spread of COVID-19 face specific challenges in diagnosing COVID-19 patients and differentiating them from patients with pulmonary edema. Although systemically administered pulmonary vasodilators and acetazolamide are o...
