[Should we interfere with the interleukin-6 receptor during COVID-19: What do we know?].

COVID-19 is a viral infection with predominant respiratory tropism. In its most severe forms, the initial viral aggression leads to acute respiratory failure due to damage secondary to an exacerbated inflammatory response provoked by the activation of innate, followed by adaptive immunity. The inflammatory response may entail respiratory distress syndrome, if not multivisceral failure and death.

Restrictive intraoperative fluid intake in liver surgery and postoperative renal function: A propensity score matched study.

Background: Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in hepatic surgery. In hepatic surgery, relative hypovolemia may help to limit blood loss, but the consequences of restrictive fluid intake are unknown. The goal of this study was to determine the influence of intraoperative fluid intake on the incidence of AKI and its consequences.

Detection of finite-frequency current moments with a dissipative resonant circuit.

We consider the measurement of higher current moments with a dissipative resonant circuit, which is coupled inductively to a mesoscopic device in the coherent regime. Information about the higher current moments is coded in the histograms of the charge on the capacitor plates of the resonant circuit. The role of dissipation is shown to be essential for the measured noise to remain finite.
