Outcomes and Prognosis of COVID-19-Induced Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome Patients Treated with Prolonged Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Retrospective Multicenter Study.

Predicting whether extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment duration affects prognosis is important both medically and economically. : We conducted a retrospective, multicenter study to better understand the outcomes of patients treated with veno-venous (VV) ECMO over a prolonged duration, analyzing data from the Israel ECMO registry. The study included all adult patients treated with VV-ECMO due to COVID-19-induced respiratory failure.

Expression Analysis of SSTR 1, 2 and 3 in Small-cell Lung Cancer Patients as Targets for Future Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy.

Background/aim: Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is noted for its high proliferative rate, and while treatable, relapse is common. SCLC is known to potentially express somatostatin receptors (SSTRs). Somatostatin possesses antineoplastic activity through cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis, and angiogenesis inhibition.

Pediatric psoriasis negatively influences parental sleep quality.

Background: One-third of psoriasis cases occur in the pediatric population. Pediatric psoriasis has a negative long-term impact on the quality of life of children and their families. However, data regarding the impact of pediatric psoriasis on parental sleep quality are scarce.
