Ventilatory variables and computed tomography features in COVID-19 ARDS and non–COVID-19-related ARDS: a prospective observational cohort study by Li-Chung Chiu, Hsin-Hsien Li, Yu-Hsiang Juan, How-Wen Ko, Scott Chih-Hsi Kuo, Chung-Shu Lee, Tien-Ming Chan, Yu-Jr Lin, Li-Pang Chuang, Han-Chung Hu, Kuo-Chin Kao, Ping-Chih Hsu

“…Conclusions In the early course of ARDS, physicians should be aware of the distinctions between COVID-19-related ARDS and non–COVID-19-related ARDS in terms of ventilatory variables and CT imaging presentations. It is also important to tailor the mechanical ventilation settings according to these distinct subsets of ARDS.…”

In vitro evaluation of hypochlorous acid-silver nanoparticle waterline disinfectant for dental unit waterline disinfection by Tingting Yin, Qiaowen Li, Huan Sun, Jin Zheng, Yuanyuan Wang, Yi Luo, Li Wang

“…The compliance rates observed during the first disinfection and two weeks post-disinfection were slightly lower in the HA and AgNP groups compared to the HA + AgNP group, although no significant statistical difference was found (P > 0.05). SEM images revealed uneven biofilm plaques on the inner surface of the pipes prior to disinfection, embedded within a dense matrix, while the biofilm was visibly disrupted post-disinfection. …”
