Do comparable effect of conventional ventilation versus early high-frequency oscillation on serum CC16 and IL-6 levels in preterm neonates?
In preterm neonates, SIMV and HFOV are associated with comparable circulating CC16 and IL-6 levels. These findings suggest a similar alveolar leakage and systemic inflammation with any of the ventilation modes evaluated when their usage is optimized.
Linear measures of hydrocephalus in TBM were more reliable than volumetric ratios. Hydrocephalus can be quantified most reliably using the FOHWR. This is useful for serial follow-up and for research of TBM.
