Article Synopsis
- Isolated superior mesenteric vein (SMV) injuries from blunt abdominal trauma, though rare, can be life-threatening, especially in children, and lack established treatment guidelines.
- A 10-year-old girl suffered a complete SMV laceration after a severe car accident and underwent successful urgent surgery that included using a graft from her internal jugular vein to repair the vein.
- The report emphasizes that proper vascular repair can prevent intestinal damage and highlights the internal jugular vein as an effective graft option in serious SMV injuries.
In indirect detection, sample components lacking detectable properties are detected by adding a detectable component to the eluent, a so-called probe that interacts with the analytes to be detected. This study focuses on modeling indirect detection in two principally different cases. In case (1), the analyte component has the same charge as the probe component, so the probe acts as a co-ion of the analyte.

Article Synopsis
- Lower airway dysbiosis, characterized by an increase in specific bacteria, is linked to various severity grades of primary graft dysfunction (PGD) after lung transplantation, particularly in moderate and severe cases.
- A study involving lower airway samples from 96 lung transplant recipients showed correlations between PGD severity and elevated levels of inflammatory markers, particularly neutrophils and specific cytokines, indicating a distinct inflammatory response.
- Results suggest that microbial differences may influence host immune signaling, potentially exacerbating inflammation and contributing to PGD pathogenesis, highlighting the importance of microbial balance in lung health post-transplant.
The retention of three peptides was studied under analytical and overloaded conditions at different concentrations of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and water added to the co-solvent methanol (MeOH). Four columns with different stationary phase properties, i.e.

Methods: We compared pig skin graft preservation using PRP versus saline solution and crystalloid Custodiol, which is used for hypothermic preservation of organs for transplantation.
