EV-Elute: A universal platform for the enrichment of functional surface marker-defined extracellular vesicle subpopulations.

Intercellular communication via extracellular vesicles (EVs) has been identified as a vital component of a steadily expanding number of physiological and pathological processes. To accommodate these roles, EVs have highly heterogeneous molecular compositions. Given that surface molecules on EVs determine their interactions with their environment, EV functionality likely differs between subpopulations with varying surface compositions.

[Experience of a psychiatric unit in a pediatric hospital in the Province of Córdoba (Argentina): Between epidemiological and legislative changes].

In the past decades, several epidemiological changes have been observed in the demand for child mental health care with an increase in the number of visits as well as hospitalizations due to mental causes. These changes, together with the sanitary guidelines related to mental health, lead to the implementation of a mental health care unit at a pediatric hospital, which required the adjustment of the infrastructure as well as the professional resources available. The diagnosis of the situation and the sanitary context that led to the implementation of the care unit are presented.
