The Atacama Desert is home to bacteria that use biofilms as a means of protecting themselves against the harsh environment. To inform research regarding this survival mechanism, we cultured and sequenced the genomes of three sp. isolates from Atacama Desert soil.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a genus of Gram-negative bacteria that can thrive in extreme conditions by creating biofilms and producing pigments.
- It focuses on a specific strain, sp. LS2A, which was collected from soil in Chilean Patagonia and is classified as an extremophile.
- This strain has seven biosynthetic gene clusters, including one for the purple pigment violacein, which could help it survive in tough environments.
Introduction: The AngioVac system is a novel, minimally invasive, endovascular technique used to evacuate intravascular or intracardiac vegetation or thrombus. Although most AngioVac procedures are currently performed by interventionalists, this innovative procedure has been gaining attention among the surgical and anesthesia communities.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent the AngioVac procedure performed by a cardiac surgeon between August 2019 and December 2022.
Article Synopsis
- * A case report involving a 25-year-old COVID-19-positive male showed that attempts to use the aerosol box for double-lumen tube intubation were challenging due to its restrictive size and the characteristics of the double-lumen tube, leading to an unsuccessful first attempt.
- * The experience suggests that the standard dimensions of the aerosol box may not be ideal for double-lumen tube intubations, emphasizing the need to evaluate the box's suitability before use in clinical settings.
Anaesthetists may be required to work in hybrid theatres for procedures using fluoroscopic imaging. Adequate knowledge of fluoroscopic images allows prompt and effective emergency management of complications which arise during procedures. Here, we present a case of severe hypotension and hypoxia occurring shortly after induction of anaesthesia.
