In the first part of this publication, selected technological and strength properties of synthetic molding sand bound with sodium bentonite with the addition of a new lustrous carbon carrier (R, R, R, W, P, Z, P, P, S, ρ) were determined. The introduction of polyethylene as a substitute for hydrocarbon resin, and shungite as a replacement for coal dust, demonstrated the achievement of an optimal molding sand composition for practical use in casting technology. The sand containing a new lustrous carbon carrier (SH/PE) demonstrates the highest permeability and flowability.

The HugoTM RAS system (Medtronic) is one of the newest platforms on the market and has little surgical outcomes data. We describe our early experience performing robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPNx) with the Hugo RAS platform.

Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can influence pharmacokinetics. We investigated the vancomycin dosage in children on ECMO compared to critically ill children to determine the necessary dosage adjustment on ECMO.
Methods: Eight-year, single-center, retrospective cohort study at a tertiary heart center's pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (ICU) of children undergoing ECMO support.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the epidemiology of pediatric chronic heart failure (CHF) in Germany using healthcare claims data from nearly 4.8 million insured members between 2016 and 2021.* -
- The prevalence of CHF among children was reported at 20.6 per 100,000 in 2016, slightly decreasing to 19.4 per 100,000 in 2021, with about 47% to 58% of these children experiencing annual hospitalizations.* -
- Findings indicate that most CHF patients have serious comorbidities and that treatments include various medications and surgical options, while mortality rates among these children remain low, at less than 5 deaths annually.*
This work focused on obtaining a low-temperature powder coating characterized by self-healing properties. To achieve this, acrylic resin, blocked polyisocyanates (bPICs) with 1,2,4-triazole, and unsaturated commercial resin were used. The synthesis of bPICs with triazole enabled the low-temperature curing and reversible Diels-Alder (DA) reaction at 160 °C.
