Objective: This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA) in patients with COVID-19-induced severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).
Methods: The intervention group consisted of eligible patients with severe ARDS due to COVID-19 admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a university hospital. We selected the control group from admitted patients treated in the same ICU within the same period.
This study aims to improve the properties of polyether sulfone (PES) membranes by using an innovative composite filler. Pistachio shell-derived activated carbon (PSAC) was initially synthesized via chemical activation, followed by surface modification with ZIF-8 and ZIF-67. Subsequently, modified membranes with varying weight percentages of this composite were fabricated using the phase inversion method.
