Comparison of two viscoelastic testing devices in a porcine model of surgery, hemorrhage and resuscitation.

Introduction: Viscoelastic hemostatic assays (VHA) are integral in contemporary hemostatic resuscitation, offering insights into clot formation, firmness, and lysis for rapid diagnosis and targeted therapy. Large animal models, particularly swine, provide anatomical and physiological analogies for coagulation research. Despite the growing use of VHAs, the ClotPro device's applicability in porcine models remains unexplored.

Knowledge About How to Manage Warning Signs of Pregnancy Complications Among Immigrants and Their Descendants Compared to Women of Danish Origin.

Objectives: Ethnic differences in perinatal morbidity and mortality are starting points for social inequality in health. Increased incidence and severity of some pregnancy complications are found among immigrant women compared to ethnic majority women in high-income settings. However, little is known about immigrant women's assessment and management of warning signs.

Hyperspectral Imaging for the Evaluation of Microcirculatory Tissue Oxygenation and Perfusion Quality in Haemorrhagic Shock: A Porcine Study.

Background: The ultimate goal of haemodynamic therapy is to improve microcirculatory tissue and organ perfusion. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has the potential to enable noninvasive microcirculatory monitoring at bedside.

Methods: HSI (Tivita Tissue System) measurements of tissue oxygenation, haemoglobin, and water content in the skin (ear) and kidney were evaluated in a double-hit porcine model of major abdominal surgery and haemorrhagic shock.

"I need personal experiences or some sort of documentation": a qualitative study on where people with multiple sclerosis seek information on dietary and herbal supplements.

Background: The use of dietary and herbal supplements (DIHES) is widespread among people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). PwMS are a highly informed patient group, and they use several types of sources to seek information on subjects related to their disease. However, it is still unknown where PwMS seek information about DIHES.
