- The meta-analysis compared the outcomes of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in lung transplantation across 14 studies with 1797 patients.
- ECMO was found to significantly reduce complications such as hepatic dysfunction, severe graft rejection, one-year mortality, and hospital stays, while causing longer total ischemic times.
- The study concludes that while ECMO has perioperative benefits over CPB, further investigation is needed to understand its long-term impacts due to the associated ischemic time.
After revising the literature and consulting the pertinent virtual databases, we here list all Brazilian marine bivalves currently considered as valid and include data on their geographical and bathymetrical distribution. The list contains 516 indigenous and nine introduced species. Among the former, 461 species are autobranchs and 64 are protobranchs.

Orofacial pain affects 10-15% of adults and can severely impact quality of life. Despite ongoing treatment challenges, monoterpene alpha-phellandrene (PHE) shows potential therapeutic benefits. This study aimed to develop and evaluate an inclusion complex of PHE with hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (PHE-HPβCD) for treating orofacial pain.

- The global push for sustainable waste management encourages the integration of co-digestion methods for sewage and organic waste using anaerobic reactors, promoting environmental and economic benefits for municipalities.
- Numerous studies, from laboratory experiments to large-scale implementations, have explored the potential of this co-treatment, but there's still a lack of a unified definition and understanding of co-digestion's impacts.
- The review highlights how combining organic waste with sewage treatment could significantly boost methane production and improve sustainability, while also identifying challenges like the need for customized strategies and regulatory support.
