Higher Sedation Rates for Hispanic Patients on Ventilators May Impact Survival
Hispanic Americans on ventilators have a higher risk of death than white peers, possibly due to heavy sedation. Research from NYU and University of Michigan found that Hispanic patients in respiratory failure receive heavy sedation at a rate five times that of white patients, potentially lowering their odds for survival. The study suggests that language barriers, cultural differences, and hospital quality may be contributing factors.

UC Davis Researchers Identify Gut Microbiome Changes Linked to Sorbitol Intolerance
UC Davis researchers have found that changes in the gut microbiome can lead to an inability to digest sorbitol, a sugar alcohol found in sugar-free products. A study with mice revealed that taking antibiotics and a high-fat diet reduced the number of Clostridia gut microbes responsible for breaking down sorbitol. The research suggests that an impairment in the microbial ability to break down sorbitol causes sorbitol intolerance, and efforts to restore the gut bacteria’s ability to break down sorbitol were successful in protecting the mice from sorbitol-induced diarrhea.
