Labor in pregnancies with small for gestational age suspected fetuses.

Background: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is an unclearly defined condition described as a fetal weight which is too low in relation to gestational age. It is recognized in 10-15% of singleton pregnancies and can lead to severe complications, including stillbirth. To reduce the adverse fetal and neonatal outcomes, many medical interventions are being introduced by obstetricians.

Core-Shell Microcapsules Containing Flame Retardant Tris(2-chloroethyl phosphate) for Lithium-Ion Battery Applications.

Flame retardant tris(2-chloroethyl phosphate) (TCP) is successfully encapsulated in core-shell poly(urea-formaldehyde) microcapsules by in situ polymerization. The microcapsules are electrochemically stable in lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery electrolytes and thermally stable to ca. 200 °C.

Implementation of mild therapeutic hypothermia for post-resuscitation care of sudden cardiac arrest survivors in cardiology units in Poland.

Background: The post-cardiac arrest (CA) period is often associated with secondary damage of the brain that leads to severe neurological deficits. The current practice guidelines recommend the use of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) to prevent neurological deficit and improve survival.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the implementation of medical guidelines in clinical practice and to evaluate the barriers for implementation of TH in cardiology units in Poland.

Core-shell polymeric microcapsules with superior thermal and solvent stability.

A protective polydopamine (PDA) coating is applied to core-shell microcapsule surfaces by the polymerization of dopamine monomers. A neutral aqueous solution and the addition of an oxidant (i.e.
