Do ventilatory parameters influence outcome in patients with severe acute respiratory infection? Secondary analysis of an international, multicentre1…
2021
Purpose: To investigate the possible association between ventilatory settings on the first day of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and mortality in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with severe acute respiratory infection (SARI). Materials and methods: In this pre-planned sub-study of a prospective, multicentre observational study, 441 patients with SARI who received controlled IMV during the ICU stay were included in the analysis. Results: ICU and hospital mortality rates were 23.1 and 28.1%, respectively. In multivariable analysis, tidal volume and respiratory rate on the first day of IMV were not associated with an increased risk of death; however, higher driving pr…
Luminescence and photo-thermally stimulated defect creation processes inPbWO4:Mo,La,Y (PWO III) crystals
2015
Photoluminescence, thermally stimulated luminescence and electron spin resonance are studied for a PbWO4 crystal grown by the Czochralski method at Bogoroditsk Technical Chemical Plant, Russia from the melt with a precise tuning of the stoichiometry and co-doped with La3+, Y3+, and Mo6+ ions. Photo-thermally stimulated processes of electron and hole centers creation under selective UV irradiation of the crystal in the 3.5–5.0 eV energy range and 85–205 K temperature range are clarified and the optically created electron and hole centers are identified. The electrons in this crystal are found to be mainly trapped at the (MoO4)2− groups as well as at the (WO4)2– groups located close to single…
