OBJECTIVES: Observational studies have shown that fluid overload is independently associated with increased morbidity in critically ill children, especially with respiratory pathology. It is unknown if recent evidence has influenced clinical practice. We sought to describe current IV fluid management in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome. DESIGN: Multinational, cross-sectional electronic survey. SETTING: Pediatric Acute Lung Injury and Sepsis Investigators Network. SUBJECTS: Pediatric intensivists. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: One-hundred fifty-four respondents (43% response rate) had a median 10 years of experience (Q1-Q3, 4-17.8), in ICUs with a median 24 beds (18-36), where 86% provided extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. For maintenance IV fluid, 96% used the "4-2-1" rule to determine rate, and 59% used dextrose with normal saline for content. For fluid resuscitation, 77% use normal saline in 10 milliliters per kilogram aliquots (42%) or as fluid challenges (37%). Less than 20% of respondents reported resuscitating with 20 mL/kg boluses. Documented intake over output is the favored vital sign to assess (75% vs 57%) and guide fluid management (97% vs 14%) over central venous pressure. The majority of respondents chose 10% fluid overload as the threshold to act in children with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome. The majority (77%) agreed that fluid accumulation contributes to worse outcomes in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome and should be treated. Ninety-one percent reported conservative fluid management in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome is likely to be beneficial or protective. CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric intensivists agree that acting on 10% fluid overload in children with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome is important. Decisions are being made largely using intake and output documentation, not central venous pressure. These findings are important for future pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome interventional trials.Source

Computer design of microfluidic mixers for protein/RNA folding studiesInguva, Venkatesh; Kathuria, Sagar V.; Bilsel, Osman; Perot, Blair James (2018-06-20)Kinetic studies of biological macromolecules increasingly use microfluidic mixers to initiate and monitor reaction progress. A motivation for using microfluidic mixers is to reduce sample consumption and decrease mixing time to microseconds. Some applications, such as small-angle x-ray scattering, also require large ( > 10 micron) sampling areas to ensure high signal-to-noise ratios and to minimize parasitic scattering. Chaotic to marginally turbulent mixers are well suited for these applications because this class of mixers provides a good middle ground between existing laminar and turbulent mixers. In this study, we model various chaotic to marginally turbulent mixing concepts such as flow turning, flow splitting, and vortex generation using computational fluid dynamics for optimization of mixing efficiency and observation volume. Design iterations show flow turning to be the best candidate for chaotic/marginally turbulent mixing. A qualitative experimental test is performed on the finalized design with mixing of 10 M urea and water to validate the flow turning unsteady mixing concept as a viable option for RNA and protein folding studies. A comparison of direct numerical simulations (DNS) and turbulence models suggests that the applicability of turbulence models to these flow regimes may be limited.

Cerebrospinal fluid xanthochromia in newborns is related to maternal labor before deliveryNigrovic, Lise E.; Trivedi, Michelle K.; Edlow, Jonathan A.; Neuman, Mark I. (2007-11-01)OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this work was to investigate whether xanthochromia in newborns is related to maternal labor before delivery. METHODS: We reviewed the medical charts of all of the infants < or = 30 days of age who had a lumbar puncture performed in a single pediatric emergency department between 2003 and 2005. Xanthochromia was detected by the hospital laboratory using the qualitative visual inspection method. We used logistic regression to determine the relationship between maternal labor before birth and the presence of cerebrospinal fluid xanthochromia, adjusting for factors known to be associated with xanthochromia. RESULTS: Of the 478 newborns who had a lumbar puncture performed during the study period, 134 (28%) had xanthochromia. Of the 449 infants with delivery method recorded in the medical chart, 332 (74%) were born via vaginal delivery, 24 (5%) via cesarean section after maternal labor, and 93 (21%) via cesarean section without maternal labor. After excluding patients with hyperbilirubinemia (total bilirubin > or = 15 mg/dL) and adjusting for factors known to be associated with xanthochromia (cerebrospinal fluid red blood cells > or = 20,000 cells per mL and cerebrospinal fluid protein > or = 150 mg/dL), infants born after maternal labor had a higher rate of cerebrospinal fluid xanthochromia than infants born without any labor. CONCLUSIONS: Xanthochromia is a common finding in the cerebrospinal fluid of newborns and is associated with maternal labor preceding delivery.

Quench-flow analysis reveals multiple phases of GluT1-mediated sugar transportBlodgett, David M.; Carruthers, Anthony (2005-02-16)Standard models for carrier-mediated nonelectrolyte transport across cell membranes do not explain sugar uptake by human red blood cells. This means that either (1) the models for sugar transport are incorrect or (2) measurements of sugar transport are flawed. Most measurements of red cell sugar transport have been made over intervals of 10 s or greater, a range which may be too long to measure transport accurately. In the present study, we examine the time course of sugar uptake over intervals as short as 5 ms to periods as long as 8 h. Using conditions where transport by a uniform population of cells is expected to be monophasic (use of subsaturating concentrations of a nonmetabolizable but transported sugar, 3-O-methylglucose), our studies demonstrate that red cell sugar uptake is comprised of three sequential, protein-mediated events (rapid, fast, and slow). The rapid phase is more strongly temperature-dependent than the fast and slow phases. All three phases are inhibited by extracellular (maltose or phloretin) or intracellular (cytochalasin B) sugar-transport inhibitors. The rate constant for the rapid phase of uptake is independent of the 3-O-methylglucose concentration. The magnitude (moles of sugar associated with cells) of the rapid phase increases in a saturable manner with [3-O-methylglucose] and is similar to (1) the amount of sugar that is retained by red cell membrane proteins upon addition of cytochalasin B and phloretin and (2) the d-glucose inhibitable cytochalasin B binding capacity of red cell membranes. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that previous studies have both under- and overestimated the rate of erythrocyte sugar transport. These data support a transport mechanism in which newly bound sugars are transiently sequestered within the translocation pathway where they become inaccessible to extra- and intracellular water.
