Lethal effect of on : A potential biocontrol agent for inundative releases.

(Berg) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), the cactus moth, is native to South America with a widespread distribution in Argentina. The larvae consume the interior of spp. (Cactaceae) plants.

New morphological and biological contributions to adults and immature forms of (Fulgoromorpha, Delphacidae) in wetlands of Argentina.

In the search for insects as biological control agents for the water primrose, the delphacid (Delphacidae) was found on Ludwigiagrandiflorasubsp.hexapetala (Onagraceae) in a wetland of Central East Argentina. The morphology of the unknown females (brachypterous and macropterous) and immature stages are described and illustrated.

ICU- and ventilator-free days with isoflurane or propofol as a primary sedative - A post- hoc analysis of a randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: To compare ICU-free (ICU-FD) and ventilator-free days (VFD) in the 30 days after randomization in patients that received isoflurane or propofol without receiving the other sedative.

Materials And Methods: A recent randomized controlled trial (RCT) compared inhaled isoflurane via the Sedaconda® anaesthetic conserving device (ACD) with intravenous propofol for up to 54 h (Meiser et al. 2021).

Hemoadsorption in the critically ill-Final results of the International CytoSorb Registry.

The aim of the current paper is to summarize the results of the International CytoSorb Registry. Data were collected on patients of the intensive care unit. The primary endpoint was actual in-hospital mortality compared to the mortality predicted by APACHE II score.

Hemoadsorption in 'Liver Indication'-Analysis of 109 Patients' Data from the CytoSorb International Registry.

Background: Our aim is to report the results of the 'liver indication' subset of patients in the CytoSorb International Registry.

Methods: Structured data were recorded. Treatment characteristics and changes from T1 (start of hemoadsorption) to T2 (termination) were evaluated with a special focus on bilirubin, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, interleukin-6, platelet levels, SOFA scores, mortality, and subjective assessment by the attending physicians.

The educational community and its knowledge and perceptions of native and invasive alien species.

Environmental education seeks to foster an appreciation for nature and the impact of humans on it while introducing citizens to scientific thinking. Biological invasions affect different aspects of life on earth and mandate urgent management actions. Education and public awareness are strongly recommended for successful prevention and management of invasive alien species (IAS).

Biological and Host Range Characteristics of (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), a Candidate Biological Control Agent of Invasive spp. (Onagraceae) in the USA.

Exotic water primroses ( spp.) are aggressive invaders in aquatic ecosystems worldwide. To date, management of exotic spp.

Registry on extracorporeal multiple organ support with the advanced organ support (ADVOS) system: 2-year interim analysis.

The objective of this registry is to collect data on real-life treatment conditions for patients for whom multiple organ dialysis with Advanced Organ Support (ADVOS) albumin hemodialysis is indicated.This registry was performed under routine conditions and without any study-specific intervention, diagnostic procedures, or assessments. Data on clinical laboratory tests, health status, liver function, vital signs, and examinations were collected (DRKS-ID: DRKS00017068).

[SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in ICU and clinic staff : From Germany's region with the highest infection rate].

Background: Healthcare workers are a high-risk population for SARS-CoV‑2 infection. For capacity planning of healthcare providers and to optimize protection of healthcare workers (HCW) in SARS-CoV‑2 pandemics, it is essential to know the risk of infection and potential immunity status of staff dealing with COVID-19 patients.

Materials And Methods: We examined seropravalence of SARS-CoV‑2 IgM/IgG antibodies (AB) in HCW of a region with the highest rate of infection (1570/100,000) during COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, 4 months after its start.

Current clinical use of intravenous fosfomycin in ICU patients in two European countries.

Purpose: In Europe, intravenous fosfomycin (IV) is used particularly in difficult-to-treat or complex infections, caused by both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens including multidrug-resistant strains. Here, we investigated the efficacy and safety of intravenous fosfomycin under real-life conditions.

Methods: Prospective, multi-center, and non-interventional study in patients with bacterial infections from 20 intensive care units (ICU) in Germany and Austria (NCT01173575).

Pancreatitis cytosorbents (CytoSorb) inflammatory cytokine removal: A Prospective Study (PACIFIC).

Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) usually has a mild course with a mortality rate below 1%. However, around 10% of patients develop severe AP (SAP) involving extra-pancreatic tissues and other organ systems. The mortality of SAP is around 42%.

Sedation in non-invasive ventilation: do we know what to do (and why)?

This review examines some of the issues encountered in the use of sedation in patients receiving respiratory support from non-invasive ventilation (NIV). This is an area of critical and intensive care medicine where there are limited (if any) robust data to guide the development of best practice and where local custom appears to exert a strong influence on patterns of care. We examine aspects of sedation for NIV where the current lack of structure may be contributing to missed opportunities to improve standards of care and examine the existing sedative armamentarium.
