Fluid administration and fluid accumulation in intensive care units-Protocol for an international inception cohort study (FLUID-ICU).

Introduction: Fluid accumulation is associated with adverse outcomes in critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Fluid administration in the ICU may be a clinically relevant source of fluid accumulation in ICU patients. However, the extent is unknown, and no standard definition exists.

Treatment Monitoring of a Patient with Synchronous Metastatic Angiosarcoma and Breast Cancer Using ctDNA.

Angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive type of soft-tissue sarcoma with high propensity to metastasize. For patients with metastatic angiosarcoma, prognosis is dismal and treatment options are limited. To improve the outcomes, identifying patients with poor treatment response at an earlier stage is imperative, enabling alternative therapy.

Influence of Grain-Growth Inhibitors on Modified (Ba,Sr)(Sn,Ti)O for Electrocaloric Application.

The paper reports on effect of grain-growth inhibitors MgO, YO and MnCO as well as Ca modification on the microstructure, dielectric, ferroelectric and electrocaloric (EC) properties of BaSrSnTiO (BSSnT). Furthermore, the effects of the sintering time and temperature on the microstructure and the electrical properties of the most promising material system BaCaSrSnTiO (BCSSnT-20) are investigated. Additions of MgO ( = 1%), YO ( = 0.

Simultaneous direct measurement of the electrocaloric and dielectric dynamics of ferroelectrics with microsecond temporal resolution.

A contactless technique for direct time-resolved measurements of the full dynamics of the adiabatic temperature change in electrocaloric materials is introduced. The infrared radiation emitted by the electrocaloric sample is sensitively detected with μs time resolution and mK temperature resolution. We present time-resolved measurements of the electrocaloric effect up to kHz frequencies of the driving electric field and down to small field strengths.
