Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the effects of sodium-β-O-Methyl cellobioside sulfate (mCBS), a substance that neutralizes extracellular histones, on sepsis severity in sheep.
  • It involved 24 female sheep with sepsis induced by fecal peritonitis, divided into three groups: control, early treatment, and late treatment, with treatment timing affecting outcomes.
  • Results showed that early mCBS treatment led to better blood pressure maintenance, lower need for norepinephrine, and improved overall health markers compared to controls, with all mCBS-treated animals surviving.

Implementation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) testing in the daily practice of pathology laboratories requires procedure adaptation to formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples. So far, one study reported the feasibility of SARS-CoV-2 genome sequencing on FFPE tissues with only one contributory case of two. This study optimized SARS-CoV-2 genome sequencing using the Ion AmpliSeq SARS-CoV-2 Panel on 22 FFPE lung tissues from 16 deceased coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.

Transoesophageal echocardiography could not detect a patent foramen ovale. However, CT thorax and flebography showed bilateral occlusion of both subclavian veins and the superior vena cava with an important collateral venous network, most likely responsible for this rare case of acquired cryptogenic stroke.
