[Increased risk of severe acute graft-versus-host disease in low body mass index patients undergoing haploidentical allogeneic stem cell transplantation].
To investigate the impact of body mass index (BMI) before transplantation on clinical outcomes of haploidentical allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). ⋯ Our findings demonstrate a correlation between pre transplant BMI and clinical outcome post-transplant. Low BMI was associated with increased risk of severe acute GVHD in leukemia patients receiving haploidentical allo-HSCT. Meticulous supportive care pre-transplantation is required for low BMI patients.

[The value of prone position lung ultrasound examination in predicting the prognosis of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome receiving prone ventilation].
To investigate the value of prone position lung ultrasound examination (PLUE) in monitoring the prone position during and predicting the outcome of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) patients. ⋯ Bedside lung ultrasound is valuable in evaluating the ASV during the prone position in ARDS patients. The three hours PLUE can predict the outcome of ARDS patients such as validity of prone position and free of ventilation in Day 7. The value of predicting the mortality needs further investigation.
