Background: Indications for Veno-venous (VV) or veno-arterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) after trauma rely on poor evidence. The main aims were to describe the population of trauma patients requiring either VV or VA ECMO and report their clinical management and outcomes.

Methods: An observational multicentre retrospective study was conducted in 17 Level 1 trauma centres in France between January 2010 and December 2021.

Objective: Significant racial and ethnic disparities in maternal morbidity and mortality as well as gynecologic outcomes persist in the U.S. The role of ambulatory care in OBGYN, particularly in facilities that separate resident and attending care along payor (and de facto racial) lines, remains unclear.

From the results of well-performed population health studies, we now have excellent data demonstrating that deficits in adult lung function may be present early in life, possibly as a result of developmental disorders, incurring a lifelong risk of obstructive airway diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Suboptimal fetal development results in intrauterine growth restriction and low birth weight at term (an outcome distinct from preterm complications), which are associated with subsequent obstructive disease. Numerous prenatal exposures and disorders compromise fetal development and these are summarized herein.

Recent studies have linked pain and the resultant nociception-induced neural inflammation (NINI) to trauma-induced heterotopic ossification (THO). It is postulated that nociception at the injury site stimulates the transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (the transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1) receptors on sensory nerves within the injured tissues resulting in the expression of neuroinflammatory peptides, substance P (SP), and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Additionally, BMP-2 released from fractured bones and soft tissue injury also selectively activates TRVP1 receptors, resulting in the release of SP and CGRP and causing neuroinflammation and degranulation of mast cells causing the breakdown the blood-nerve barrier (BNB), leading to release of neural crest derived progenitor cells (NCDPCs) into the injured tissue.

Multiple emerging lines of evidence indicate that the microbiome contributes to aging and cognitive health. However, the roles of distinct microbial components, such as viruses (virome) and their interactions with bacteria (bacteriome), as well as their metabolic pathways (metabolome) in relation to aging and cognitive function, remain poorly understood. Here, we present proof-of-concept results from a pilot study using datasets ( = 176) from the Microbiome in Aging Gut and Brain (MiaGB) consortium, demonstrating that the human virome signature significantly differs across the aging continuum (60s vs.
