Article Synopsis
  • * It found that using interventions like a closed three-way stopcock or clave significantly prevented air entry, while small volumes of air (1 mL) could still cause dysfunction at certain pump speeds.
  • * Auditory cues, such as a hissing sound, were identified as important early warnings for detecting air presence in the circuit, contributing to the overall safety of ECMO systems and reducing the risk of air embolism.

Neonicotinoids, a relatively new widely used class of insecticide is used in agriculture to control insect populations. We examined the capacity of ancestral exposure to the neonicotinoid thiacloprid (thia) to induce transgenerational effects on thyroid tissue. Pregnant outbred Swiss female mice were exposed to thia at embryonic days E6.

The early unfractionated heparin (UFH) treatment in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a single-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial. The study population are patients with STEMI that undergo primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). The trial was designed to investigate whether early administration of unfractionated heparin immediately after diagnosis of STEMI is beneficial in terms of patency of infarct-related coronary artery (IRA) when compared to established UFH administration at the time of coronary intervention.
