Comparative Study[Comparison of manual versus automatic titration in pressure determination for long-term therapy of continuous positive airway pressure in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome].
To compare the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) of automatic titration with that of manual titration. ⋯ CPAP pressure titrated by automatic device is usually higher than that titrated manually. Manual titration should be performed if a patient can not tolerate the CPAP pressure titrated by an automatic device.

[Analysis of risk factors for all cause-mortality in Chinese emergency atrial fibrillation patients].
To explore the independent risk factors associated with one-year mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). ⋯ Age, history of heart failure, previous stroke, COPD history, ARB unused, aspirin and warfarin unused are independent risk factors for one-year all-cause mortality of AF patients.

Meta Analysis[Effects of gastric versus small bowel feeding on hospital acquired pneumonia in critically ill patients: a meta-analysis].
To explore whether or not small bowel feeding can reduce the incidence of hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP). ⋯ Compared with gastric feeding, small bowel feeding can reduce the incidence of HAP, especially VAP, but can not reduce the mortality.

[Variations of left ventricular-arterial coupling in septic shock].
To explore the variations of left ventricular-arterial coupling and elucidate its mechanisms in septic shock. ⋯ During compensatory stage of septic shock, left ventricular-arterial coupling shows no significant variation. However, during decompensatory stage of septic shock, there is significant left ventricular-arterial decoupling. The main reason for decoupling lies in that the decrease of left myocardial contractility is more significant than that of left ventricular afterload. And ventricular diastolic dysfunction may also participate.
