Relationship of Serum IL-12 to Inflammation, Hematoma Volume, and Prognosis in Patients With Intracerebral Hemorrhage by Yazhao Zhang, Yanan Tian, Jianhui Wei, Yi Xiang

“…In addition, serum IL-12 levels could be used to differentiate ICH patients at risk for early neurological deterioration with an AUC of 0.788 (95% CI: 0.717–0.858) or ICH patients at risk for suffering from an unfavorable outcome with an AUC of 0.787 (95% CI: 0.722–0.851). Conclusion. Elevated admission serum IL-12 levels are closely related to the inflammation, hematoma volume, and prognosis in ICH patients. …”

Use of the oxygen reserve index/FiO2 as a non-invasive index to estimate venous admixture in anesthetized dogs by Luca Bellini, Jill K. Maney, Francesca Zanusso, Brighton T. Dzikiti

“…The oxygen reserve index (ORi) is a novel, non-invasive parameter that estimates arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) during hyperoxia when the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) is elevated. This study aimed to assess the utility of the ORi/FiO2 ratio as an index for quantifying F-shunt, serving as an estimate of venous admixture. …”
