(Press-News.org) Glenview, Illinois – A new scientific publication, CHEST® Critical Care, published its inaugural issue June 22, 2023. As part of the journal CHEST® portfolio, this online-only publication is dedicated entirely to the field of critical care medicine.
“I’m ecstatic for this launch. We are grateful to our authors for the trust they put in us and are excited to share their work with our critical care colleagues around the world,” says Hayley Gershengorn, MD, Editor in Chief of CHEST Critical Care. “The editorial team and the American College of Chest Physicians staff have worked tirelessly on this journal, and it’s incredibly gratifying to see the first issue publish.”
Included in issue one:
Introducing CHEST Critical Care
ICU Mortality Across Prepandemic and Pandemic Cohorts in a Resource-Limited Setting: A Critical Care Resiliency Analysis From South Africa
Symptom Trajectory in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Recipients Who Survive Critical Illness
Survival ≠ Recovery: A Narrative Review of Post-Intensive Care Syndrome
Early Serial Echocardiographic and Ultrasonographic Findings in Critically Ill Patients With COVID-19
CHEST Critical Care focuses on a wide range of topic areas of clinically relevant research and patient management guidance for critical care medicine, including:
ARDS and Acute Respiratory Failure
End-of-Life Care
ICU Organization
Injury
Mechanical Ventilation and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Medical Education
Post-ICU Syndrome
Sepsis and Infections
Shock
Similar to the flagship journal, CHEST Critical Care accepts submissions of original research, case series and research letters. To represent the breadth of intensive care medicine, CHEST Critical Care aims to encompass the diversity in populations affected (including medical and surgical, adults and children, patients in high- and low-resourced settings and more), reported on by any ICU clinician, using a variety of methodologic approaches (including comparative effectiveness, qualitative studies, pilot studies and more).
The American College of Chest Physicians is also expanding its journal footprint with another addition to the portfolio, CHEST® Pulmonary, which will publish its first issue in the coming weeks.

Fighting loneliness by finding purpose
2023-06-26
A new study co-authored by Patrick Hill, associate professor of psychological and brain sciences, offers an important message for our times: A sense of purpose in life — whether it’s a high-minded quest to make a difference or a simple hobby with personal meaning — can offer potent protection against loneliness.
“Loneliness is known to be one of the biggest psychological predictors for health problems, cognitive decline, and early mortality,” Hill said. “Studies show that it can ...
Worse than diesel and gasoline? Bioenergy as bad as fossils if there is no pricing of CO2 emissions from land-use change
2023-06-26
Demand for modern biofuels is expected to grow substantially in order to mitigate climate emissions. However, they are far from being a climate neutral alternative to gasoline and diesel. A new study in Nature Climate Change shows that under current land-use regulations, CO2 emission factors for biofuels might even exceed those for fossil diesel combustion due to large-scale land clearing related to growing biomass. Before bioenergy can effectively contribute to achieving carbon neutrality, international agreements need to ensure the effective protection of forests and other natural lands by introducing carbon ...
New research clarifies connection between autism and the microbiome
2023-06-26
The biological roots of autism continue to perplex researchers, despite a growing body of studies looking at an increasing array of genetic, cellular and microbial data. Recently, scientists have homed in on a new and promising area of focus: the microbiome. This collection of microbes that inhabit the human gut has been shown to play a role in autism, but the mechanics of this link have remained awash in ambiguity. Taking a fresh computational approach to the problem, a study published today in Nature Neuroscience sheds new light on the relationship between the microbiome and autism. This research — which originated ...
Study shows unsafe storage of firearms continues to put guns in the hands of children
2023-06-26
(COLUMBUS, Ohio) – Firearms are the leading cause of death among children and teens 1-19 years old in the United States. According to new research from Nationwide Children’s Hospital, most unintentional firearm fatalities in which a child shoots another child involve boys, occur in the child’s home or at the home of a friend, and involve firearms that were stored loaded and unlocked.
In a new study, researchers at the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide ...

Breakthrough boosts quantum AI
2023-06-26
LOS ALAMOS, N.M., June 26, 2023 — A groundbreaking theoretical proof shows that a technique called overparametrization enhances performance in quantum machine learning for applications that stymie classical computers.
“We believe our results will be useful in using machine learning to learn the properties of quantum data, such as classifying different phases of matter in quantum materials research, which is very difficult on classical computers,” said Diego Garcia-Martin, a postdoctoral researcher ...
