Inter Miami secured a point on Wednesday night in a hard-fought goalless draw on the road against rivals Orlando City SC to extend the teams unbeaten run this regular season to eight. Drake Callender led a stellar defensive line with a solid display in goal at INTER&Co Stadium and secured a third clean sheet this campaign.

Notably, left back Jordi Alba featured as a second-half substitute to make his first appearance since sustaining an injury in the road win over Sporting Kansas City on April 13.

Inter Miami will host D.C. United while currently unbeaten in its last eight regular season games. The team's current streak in the 2024 MLS regular season is the second longest unbeaten streak in Club history behind the 12 game unbeaten run across all competitions from July 21 to Sept. 9 in 2023.

Inter Miami (8W-2L-4D) will enter the weekend's matchup against D.C. United first in the Supporters' Shield Standings with 28 points (one point ahead of second place) and leading the league in goals with a total 35 goals (10 more than the next team).

Striker Luis Surez leads the team in goals this regular season with 11 and is tied for first place among the league top scorers. Captain Lionel Messi, meanwhile, is the team's second leading scorer with 10 goals and is tied for second among the league's leading scorers. Additionally, Messi leads the team and the league in assists this regular season with 12.

Messi and Leonardo Campana are the two active leading scorers in Club history, with Campana having 25 across all competitions (22 in MLS) and Messi 23 (11 in MLS). They trail Gonzalo Higuan who scored 29 times for Inter Miami (all in MLS). Messi, meanwhile, leads the team with the most assists in Club history with 19 across all competitions (14 in MLS) and versatile attacker Robert Taylor is second with 17 across all competitions (11 in MLS).

Goalkeeper Drake Callender and Taylor are tied as the players with most appearances in Club history with 90 across all competitions. In terms of MLS appearances, Victor Ulloa is first with 74 (one in playoffs), Taylor second with 72 (one in playoffs) and Callender third with 71 (one in playoffs each).

Saturday's matchup will present the second matchup between the sides this regular season. Last time out, Inter Miami claimed a 1-3 win on the road over D.C. at Audi Field March 13 with a brace from Surez and a goal by Campana.

Overall, Inter Miami and D.C. United have previously faced off eight times in MLS regular season action, with a record of two wins, four losses and two draws for Inter Miami. Campana, meanwhile, will look to add to his tally against D.C., as the Ecuadorian striker has scored four times in the five previous matchups between the sides he's featured in.

The match may also present a reunion for a former Inter Miami player. Current D.C. United defender Chris McVey may once again play at Chase Stadium after being an Inter Miami player for the 2022 and 2023 seasons.

Additionally, Surez and D.C. striker Christian Benteke may face each other once again after previously matching up three times in English Premier League action while Surez played for Liverpool and Benteke was on the books at Aston Villa.

D.C. United will visit South Florida after most recently falling 1-4 at home to the New York Red Bulls on Wednesday. In all, D.C. have recorded four wins, four losses and five draws for a total 17 points this regular season and sit eighth in the Eastern Conference standings.

Forward Benteke leads the team in goals with 11 and is tied for first among this regular season's top scorers, while midfielder Jared Stroud is the team's top assist provider thus far with seven.

A lung transplant can be lifesaving for children with cystic fibrosis (CF) admitted for respiratory failure to a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Only 35% of these young patients went on to be discharged without a transplant, according to an analysis of children with CF treated at a French hospital.

Over the years following discharge, a lung transplant also associated with the best odds of survival for these patients. Factors influencing a risk of death or likely transplant outcomes included female sex and disease severity.

Children with CF who need critical care because of endstage respiratory failure need to be transplanted in [a] short-term period, the researchers wrote, calling a transplant their main chance to survive after leaving a hospital.

The study, Acute respiratory failure due to pulmonary exacerbation in children with cystic fibrosis admitted in a pediatric intensive care unit: outcomes and factors associated with mortality, was published in Respiratory Research.

The buildup with CF of thick and sticky mucus in the lungs causes inflammation and damage, leading to disease symptoms like wheezing, shortness or breath, or cough. Should the lungs become severely compromised, patients can go into acute respiratory failure and need to be hospitalized.

With the emergence of more effective disease treatments and better overall care, mortality rates for adult CF patients hospitalized for acute respiratory failure have significantly declined in recent decades.

Outcomes among young CF patients in a similar situation, however, have been poorly studied, the scientists wrote.

Paradoxically, short and longer-term outcomes at discharge from PICU have not been reported, they added.

A team at Hpital Necker Enfants Malades in Paris explored outcomes among 29 children with CF, ages 6-17 (median age of 13.5), admitted to its PICU due to acute respiratory failure between 2000 and 2020.

These patients had severe respiratory disease at hospital admission, and about three-quarters received nutritional support through a feeding tube and required at-home ventilation support. Nearly half (48%) were on a waiting list for a lung transplant.

All needed oxygen therapy in the hospital, with 92% being given non-invasive ventilation (i.e., an oxygen mask) and 10.3% invasive ventilation (i.e., a breathing tube). None were using CFTR modulator therapies, either because these effective treatments werent yet available or the childs disease-causing mutation wasnt eligible for their use.

Overall, five children (17%) died while in the ICU of respiratory failure, 14 (48%) received a lung transplant, and 10 (35%) were discharged without a transplant. Of those 10, three required a transplant within three years.

Mortality rates for the entire group were 31% at three months of follow-up, 34% at one year, and 42% at three years. Seventeen of the 29 children (58%) were alive at three years of follow-up, 12 (70%) of whom underwent a lung transplant. Of a total of 17 patients given a transplant, five died within three years of that surgery.

Most importantly, our results show very low rates of survival without lung transplantation during the 36 months following PICU admission for children with chronic respiratory insufficiency, the scientists wrote.

Lung transplantation should therefore be considered early after PICU admission and children referred to lung transplant centers immediately after their discharge, they added.

Statistical analyses uncovered risk factors associated with mortality or the need for a lung transplant. At the time of hospital admission, female sex, and higher carbon dioxide and lower chloride levels associated with a greater likelihood of poorer outcomes.

The probability of death was significantly increased in females, the scientists wrote.

A need for respiratory or nutritional support at the home, prior registration on a lung transplant list, or a lung infection with Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia bacteria prior to hospitalization also linked with a mortality or transplant risk.

Each of these factors could be considered markers of more severe underlying diseases, highlighting the importance of longitudinal disease control and proactive early care, they noted.

Study limitations include a retrospective design that precludes conclusions regarding causality between the factors identified and the risk of mortality or lung transplantation, the scientists wrote.

They added that study findings need to be confirmed in children at other centers, as their hospital typically treats severely ill patients.

The match got underway at a rainy Chase Stadium following a 25-minute-long weather delay and presented an even matchup throughout the first 45 minutes of action. Inter Miamis most dangerous opportunity in attack throughout the half came in the 43rd minute; a precise long ball across the pitch from Alba found Cremaschi inside after a defensive header, but our Homegrown midfielders subsequent attempt inside the box was stopped by the keeper.

Despite both sides efforts throughout the first half in South Florida, the match went into the break scoreless.

The second half then presented another balanced 45 minutes and it seemed as if the match was going to end scoreless until a thrilling, emotion-packed stoppage time. First, the visitors nearly scored the go ahead goal in the third minute of stoppage time, but Callender rose to the occasion and exhibited great reflexes to deny forward Cristian Djomes attempt from the center of the box.

One minute later, it was the hosts that were finally able to find the opener on the other end of the pitch in dramatic fashion. In the fourth minute of added time, Busquets delivered an inch-perfect ball over the top of the defense to find Campana just outside the box. The Ecuadorian marksman, who had entered the match as a late substitute just one minute prior, then masterfully brought down the ball before unleashing a powerful right-footed strike that bounced off the crossbar and finished in the back of the net to grant Inter Miami a 1-0 lead in the dying moments. The goal was the third for Campana this regular season, while the assist was Busquets fourth this regular season and fifth overall in 2024. Notably, with the goal Campana took his personal tally to five goals in six appearances against D.C. United.

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Board Chair - the First Person with CF to Ever Lead the Organization - Discusses the Rare Disease, Outliving Your Life Expectancy, and the Path to a Cure

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 20, 2024 / Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare, progressive, and genetic disease that currently affects about 40,000 people in the United States. CF is the result of a defective gene, inherited from each parent, and the disease can impact people of all races and ethnicities. Recently, KC White, Board Chair of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the disease, her personal journey, and how the Foundation is helping progress care and treatment options.

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/8wj8u0JEqLU

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Board Chair - the First Person with CF to Ever Lead the Organization - Discusses the Rare Disease, Outliving Your Life Expectancy, and the Path to a Cure

CF is a life-shortening disease that prevents our bodies from clearing mucus. This can lead to lung infections, poor nutrition, lung disease, and a host of unique challenges that can impact every aspect of a person's life. When it was first discovered, it was considered a fatal pediatric disease. But due to transformative advancements in treatments and high-quality care, the life-expectancy for someone born with CF today is 56. While that number is climbing there is still a long way to go and unfortunately, not all people with CF equally benefit from this progress.

KC White was elected chair of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's Board of Trustees in 2022 after serving on the Board since 2005. Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at age 3, White has been a committed volunteer and inspiring advocate for the Foundation since childhood and is the first person with CF to serve as board chair. When she was diagnosed, she wasn't expected to live past high school age, but her family refused to accept that fate, which prompted their dedication to the Foundation's work.

Because of recent treatments known as modulators, about 90% of the CF population (including KC) experienced an incredible transformation in their health. With this though, comes navigating unplanned challenges including careers, finances, family, and more. In addition to fueling the research, particularly in genetic therapies, that will lead to transformative treatments for the entire CF population, the CF Foundation works to support the CF community in all aspects of their lives through support programs and fostering connection opportunities.

Every May, the cystic fibrosis community comes together for CF Awareness Month to educate the public about the rare disease, share personal stories, and encourage people to get involved and unite behind a shared mission: finding a cure for all people with CF. The CF Foundation is committed to finding a cure and providing all people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives. The Foundation is aggressively funding research and drug development, advancing high-quality, specialized care, and partnering with and advocating for the CF community.

Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at age 3, White has been a committed volunteer and inspiring advocate for the Foundation since childhood, speaking at her first Foundation event when she was only 9 years old. She is the first person with CF to serve as board chair. White received her Master of Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania in 2022 and currently serves as an assistant instructor in the program. She is also the Head Varsity Women's Lacrosse coach for the Chagrin Falls, Ohio, Tigers. She and her husband, Justin, have one son, Mac.

About the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is a donor-supported nonprofit organization leading the relentless pursuit of a cure for cystic fibrosis. The Foundation is committed to providing all people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives by funding research and drug development, advancing high-quality, specialized care, and partnering with and advocating for the CF community.

The Foundation funds more CF research than any other organization, and nearly every CF drug available today was made possible because of Foundation support. The organization supports and accredits a national network of over 130 CF care centers recognized by the National Institutes of Health as a model of care for a chronic disease. Also, the Foundation manages support programs and fosters connection opportunities for the CF community. Based in Bethesda, Md., the Foundation's impact is made possible by the work of nearly 70 local chapters across the country.

Inter Miami 3, D.C. United 1

PASS.

Inter is the far more put-together side and has the experience and technical expertise to win the game.

Inter is 4-0 at home when Messi captains the team. The odds reflect that, and at -195, theres not much value in backing the home side.

BET OVER 3.5 (-110).

Messi is the engine that keeps Inter going. Inter has scored 24 goals in the last 6 games in which Messi has played.

United has given up at least 2 goals in 3 straight games to less potent attacking sides. It has also scored 2 goals per game over its last 4. United has strong attacking players in Benteke and should be able to break through on a Miami defense that has allowed 20 goals in 14 matches.

Expect a high-scoring battle, and take OVER 3.5 (-110).
