It is (not) always on Friday: inter-hospital patient transfers in orthopedic and trauma surgery.

Background: While inter-hospital transfers for patients who have suffered major trauma have been well investigated, patient flows for other injured patients, or cases with orthopedic complications, are rarely described. This study aims to analyze the affected collective and to show possible reasons, patterns, and pitfalls to optimize the process in future.

Materials And Methods: In a prospective cohort study, all consecutive transfers to a Level I trauma center in Germany were documented and assessed.

Scintillation light detection in the 6-m drift-length ProtoDUNE Dual Phase liquid argon TPC.

DUNE is a dual-site experiment for long-baseline neutrino oscillation studies, neutrino astrophysics and nucleon decay searches. ProtoDUNE Dual Phase (DP) is a 6   6   6 m liquid argon time-projection-chamber (LArTPC) that recorded cosmic-muon data at the CERN Neutrino Platform in 2019-2020 as a prototype of the DUNE Far Detector. Charged particles propagating through the LArTPC produce ionization and scintillation light.

Prospects for beyond the Standard Model physics searches at the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment: DUNE Collaboration.

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will be a powerful tool for a variety of physics topics. The high-intensity proton beams provide a large neutrino flux, sampled by a near detector system consisting of a combination of capable precision detectors, and by the massive far detector system located deep underground. This configuration sets up DUNE as a machine for discovery, as it enables opportunities not only to perform precision neutrino measurements that may uncover deviations from the present three-flavor mixing paradigm, but also to discover new particles and unveil new interactions and symmetries beyond those predicted in the Standard Model (SM).

Anti-oxidative or anti-inflammatory additives reduce ischemia/reperfusions injury in an animal model of cardiopulmonary bypass.

Unlabelled: Severe inborn cardiac malformations are typically corrected in cardioplegia, with a cardio-pulmonary bypass (CPB) taking over body circulation. During the operation the arrested hearts are subjected to a global ischemia/reperfusion injury. Although the applied cardioplegic solutions have a certain protective effect, application of additional substances to reduce cardiac damage are of interest.
