Liberal oxygen therapy might increase the mortality rate of patients. Non-rebreathing masks (NRM) are a high-flow, non-invasive oxygen device that can provide oxygen concentration up to 95%. This study aimed to determine the impact of using NRM in patients with respiratory failure. ⋯ Prolonged use of NRM in patients with respiratory failure due to pulmonary disease possibly increases mortality.

It has been reported that the dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) is implicated in the biological processes of diverse diseases, including the tumorigenesis of human cancers. MicroRNA-628-5p (miR-628-5p) is differentially expressed and plays a critical role in several cancers, but the role of miR-628-5p in cervical cancer has not been well studied. ⋯ MiR-628-5p inhibited cervical cancer cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis by targeting VEGF.
