🧭 REBEL Rundown 📌 Key Points 💨 HFNC met criteria for non-inferiority to BPAP for preventing intubation or death within 7 days in four of the five ARF subgroups.🧪 Bayesian dynamic borrowing increased power across subgroups but created variable certainty, especially in smaller groups such as COPD.🫁 The immunocompromised hypoxemia subgroup did not meet non-inferiority, leading to early trial stopping for futility.️ Rescue BPAP use, subgroup-specific exclusion criteria, and non-standardized BPAP delivery are important contextual factors that influence how subgroup results should be interpreted. Click here for Direct Download of the Podcast. 📝 Introduction Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BPAP) has long been a foundational modality in the management of acute respiratory failure (ARF), particularly in COPD exacerbations and cardiogenic pulmonary edema, where it can rapidly reduce work of breathing and improve gas exchange. It remains a core tool in our respiratory support arsenal.High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), however, has expanded what we can offer patients by delivering many of the same physiologic benefits through a far more comfortable interface. With high flows, modest PEEP, and effective dead-space washout, HFNC can improve oxygenation and decrease work of breathing while preserving the ability to talk, cough, eat, and interact with staff and family. This combination of physiologic support and tolerability makes HFNC especially attractive in patients where comfort, anxiety, or cardiovascular stability are key considerations, and in settings where prolonged noninvasive support may be needed. Rather than competing with BPAP, HFNC broadens our options in ARF and allows us to better match the modality to the patient and their underlying disease process.The RENOVATE trial set out to answer a high-impact question across five distinct etiologic groups: Is HFNC non-inferior to BPAP (NIV) for preventing intubation or death in acute respiratory failure? 🧾 Paper Azoulay É, et al. High-Flow Nasal Oxygen vs Noninvasive Ventilation in Patients With Acute Respiratory Failure: The RENOVATE Randomized Clinical Trial.

I appreciate a lot of Final Fantasy VII--the music is great, the story is surprisingly interesting, and I love the way the game transitions from gameplay to cutscene--but I hate playing so much of it. I've never been a turn-based person and the ATB system hasn't done anything to change that, and then there are all the minigames (and boy are there a lot of minigames). Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the game, I just wish I played it when it originally came out instead of now, almost 30 years later.

After wanting to play it ever since it was first announced, I finally played, beat, and loved Astro Bot; it reminded me of when I used to love PlayStation and those PS2 days that'll always be the best gaming time of my life.

In this first Attack the Backlog of the new year (and in its different format), I talk about some of the silly things that annoyed me in Cyberpunk 2077, followed by a discussion of the potential games I hope to play in 2026, including what's first on the docket.

I liked a lot about Cyberpunk 2077--from the side missions to the combat to the visuals and plenty more-- but the character of Johnny Silverhand and the performance of Keanu Reeves was not one of them. This wouldn't have been a big problem if he wasn't such a crucial part of the main story, but he is and can't help but show up all of the time, so I couldn't help but only like Cyberpunk 2077 when I thought I was going to love it.

This is the ideal. With every Second Runs episode, I hope to find out I not only still love the game I'm playing, but that I love it even more. That was the case with Sleeping Dogs. I remembered liking it a lot the first time I played it, but I adored it the second time. I adored it so much, I made it one of the rare games I 100%-ed, completing every aspect of the game, DLC included. Not only that, but I think I might do it a second time with the original release (which is truly insane if I do it). Long story short, Sleeping Dogs is a fantastic game, one well worth playing if you've never played it before.

Tornare al volo supersonico civile. È l’obiettivo di numerosi progetti che vedono coinvolti i principali paesi dotati di capacità e industrie aerospaziali: USA, Giappone, Cina e UE.Ma il principale problema da risolvere per andare oltre l’era del Concorde, è riuscire a controllare il “boom sonico”: il botto, simile a un’esplosione, è dovuto al fatto che le onde acustiche emesse da un velivolo che viaggia a velocità supersonica tendono a fondersi, formando un’onda d’urto capace di farsi sentire a molte decine di chilometri di distanza, rendendo pressoché impraticabile il volo supersonico sopra le regioni abitate. Da qui, progetti come l’XB1 o l’X59, che pur con differenti approcci inseguono il medesimo risultato. Ne parliamo con Nicole Viola, professoressa di Ingegneria Aerospaziale del Politecnico di Torino.

This episode is all about Maneater, a game where you play as a shark and eat a whole bunch of sea life and human life and never once listen to the superior Hall & Oates song.

The third and final part of my Attack the Backlog playthrough of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, a game that wasn't what I expected. I thought the game was going to be more open, where you create your own character and find your own story within its world. I was wrong. While you can shape the character you play to an extent, you are playing a specific character--Henry in this case--who has his own story and there's little room for deviations. This isn't a bad thing, but when you're expecting salt and get sugar instead, it's impossible to not be at least a little disappointed and disappointed I was.

I needed something chill and relaxing after the nightmare that was Kingdom Come Deliverance--expect those episodes after this one. I thought about many games, but ultimately landed on DREDGE, a relatively simple game about boating and fishing, wrapped in a mysterious Lovecraftian bow. It was exactly what the doctor ordered. If the idea of boating around and fishing doesn't sound like a bore to you, I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time too. Just remember sleep in important, very very important.

This was a frustrating experience. My first thought after booting up Evil Dead: The Game was, "Wow, this is prettier than I was expecting," followed immediately by, "Damn, I wish this was just a normal-ass single-player game. As I played the tutorials and eventually a handful of games, my disappointment and sadness only grew as the tutorial did a poor job of preparing me for a real match. Even once I started to "get it," I still wished Evil Dead: The Game was a single-player game instead of a live-service game; however, a live-service game it is (or was) and as many do, like the name of the game, this one is dead.

I've played many a Need for Speed game, but not one has frustrated me as much as Need for Speed Unbound. It may have a great sense of style and take place in a fictionalized version of my hometown--a not-so-great take on Chicago--but that's not enough to make up for its annoying structure, frustrating race design, and cheap AI. It also shouldn't come as a surprise that the story is shit, but I doubt anyone was expecting a great story in their racing game. Long story short, the fun was unfound in Need for Speed Unbound.

"Use Duality to control two bodies in real-time, letting you defend two sites at once, cover your own cross, or even trade yourself." Sounds pretty cool, right? Sadly, as cool as Spectre Divide sounded in concept, it never quite reached those levels in practice. Part of that comes down to the shooting--which was just okay--but the whole "Duality" system never felt like more than in gimmick in what little time I put into the game. Maybe its intricacies needed time to be discovered, but with it shutting down only a few weeks after its console release (and six months after its PC release), it never really got the chance.

Behold the second and final episode of my Attack the Backlog review of Grounded. While I really liked the game overall, one mission almost made me rage quit the game. I managed to get through it in the end, but it did leave a sour taste in my mouth and somewhat tarnished what is a mostly great game.

It doesn't matter if you're first to an idea, if you don't execute it well enough, someone else can swoop in and steal your thunder before you even manage to throw your lightning. That's the case with Stampede: Racing, a battle royale kart racer where you start with 60 players and gradually whittle it down to one after reaching select checkpoints during a race. Sound familiar? It should, because it's basically Mario Kart World's Knockout Tour mode (and also way more similar to something like Fall Guys than Fortnite). Now, I don't know if Stampede was actually first to this idea, but I think we can all agree Knockout Tour refined the idea and made it into something that's tons of fun and will last in a way Stampede never was and will never get a chance to be.

Behold the first part of my review of Grounded. It's been a long time coming. I tried playing and streaming the game once before, but got so annoyed with the chat that I rage quit both the game and streaming for years. Fast-forward to now and things are very different, not only did chat never bother me when I streamed the game--you can check out the archive for my entire playthrough if you want--I also had a great time with the game and look forward to playing and seeing more (even though I will never not be scared whenever a spider shows up).

I had a taste for more Star Wars after playing through both Star Wars Jedi games and rewatching most of the movies and shows. I could have played something new, something I never played before, but opted for something I remembered fondly: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. My memory of the game was that it wasn't amazing, but achieved what it set out to do: deliver a satisfying Jedi power fantasy; however, sometimes things are left best as memories and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is exactly that. Instead of getting the power fantasy I expected, I got a frustrating reality of sadness and disappointment.

Broforce is a lot of fun...until it isn't. What do I mean by this? I don't mean what you probably think--that it's fun for a while and eventually stops being fun--but that it's best enjoyed in small doses instead of large ones. I played Broforce two nights in a row for roughly four hours each night and the same thing happened both nights: after about hour two, I started to get annoyed and frustrated with the game and stopped enjoying it. Long story short, I'd recommend Broforce to most--especially if you have a friend or two to play it with (even though it can get quite hectic)--just make sure you keep your sessions on the shorter side if you don't want to lose your mind.

I've always been a naysayer about Fortnite's move to the battle royale space--I am one of the weirdos who liked Fortnite when it was just Save the World--so take everything I say with a grain of salt, but I always found Realm Royale more fun that Fortnite. It wasn't good enough to pull me away from Apex Legends when I was deep in the battle royale space, but if there was any runner-up for me amongst the crowd, it was Realm Royale, so with that, let's pour one out for this here game that had a good run and is no longer with us. Cheers Realm Royale, you were one of the good ones.

Believe it or not, but this forgotten game was one of the games that inspired Attack the Backlog. I still remember thinking it looked so cool on PlayStation 4, but never getting around to it because I was all-in on Xbox One to start that generation. By the time I got a PlayStation 4, it felt like the moment had passed and I might as well wait for a hopeful Xbox One port. Fast-forward four years and it would finally make its way to Xbox, Switch, and Vita and...I still didn't play it. Now, some seven years later, I've finally scratched Mercenary Kings off my backlog and, sadly, it couldn't help but disappoint with repetitive and tedious missions, weird customization choices, and occasionally frustrating difficulty spikes.

Time to party like it's 1988! This episode, we return to Kamurocho and travel to Sotenbori to witness the origins of notorious yakuza Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima. Join us as we discuss unexpected twists, incredible substories, and how watching two scantily-clad ladies wrestle is more frustrating than it is titillating.Note: The music track at the start of the episode is “Try to have some fun for me !!”, composed by Saori Yoshida & Mayumi Koizumi for the Ryu ga Gotoku Zero/Yakuza 0 Original Soundtrack.
