Article Synopsis
- Post-reperfusion syndrome (PRS) can range from mild to severe during liver transplantation, affecting patient outcomes due to various factors.
- A study found that using a blood flush through a caval vent alongside the standard chilled flush may lead to less hemodynamic instability and fewer metabolic issues.
- Results showed that patients who received the caval flush experienced better mean arterial pressure and heart rate retention, although central venous pressure and lab values were similar between groups, indicating a potential benefit of the technique that warrants further research.
Concentrations of 11 PFASs were determined in muscle and whole fish for six species collected from Charleston, South Carolina (SC) for the assessment of potential health risks to humans and wildlife. Across all species and capture locations, total PFAS levels in whole fish were significantly higher than fillets by a factor of two- to three-fold. Mean ∑PFAS concentrations varied from 12.

In order to assess the potential risks associated with these contaminants, 39 whole fish and 37 fillets from fish representing species consumed by dolphins and humans captured from Charleston Harbor and tributaries, South Carolina, USA, were measured for a suite of POPs. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were the predominant contaminant with concentrations ranging from 5.
