Comparison of predictors of survival among fulminant myocarditis patients undergoing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in the adult and pediatric populations.

Background: Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is a potentially life-threatening disease that requires emergency care. The authors' study aims to explore clinical outcomes and predictors of survival when using veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support for the treatment of FM in adult and pediatric patients to analyze differences between both populations.

Methods: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases were searched for studies reporting the effect of VA-ECMO on patients diagnosed with fulminant myocarditis.

Chemical modification of selenium-containing amino acids caused by non-thermal dielectric-barrier discharge atmospheric-pressure plasma.

Since non-thermal atmospheric-pressure ("cold") plasma sources, such as the dielectric-barrier discharge (DBD), have appeared to be remarkably active in wound healing medicine, the elucidation of cold plasma safety and possible secondary undesirable effects becomes of paramount importance. Selenium-containing amino acids, which are commonly incorporated in many enzymes, came in the spotlight for elucidating the plasma impact as easily oxidizable natural targets. The scope of this study was to analyse the impact of non-thermal plasma on selenium-containing amino acids.

Analyzing risk contagion and volatility spillover across multi-market capital flow using EVT theory and C-vine Copula.

There exists a potential interdependence among the United States markets, alongside an exceptional dependence on the East Asian stock markets. This transmission of risks is similarly evident in funds that are traded within markets. The current study seeks to uncover the pathways of risk contagion among various financial markets.
