Article Synopsis
- Sickle cell emergencies are a leading reason for hospitalizations in patients with sickle cell disease, causing significant financial strain and increased health risks.
- A study tracked 112 adults with sickle cell emergencies over four months, revealing a 38.41% readmission rate within 30 days, predominantly due to vaso-occlusive crises and acute chest syndrome.
- Key factors predicting readmission included having a job, low levels of fetal hemoglobin, and certain blood cell counts (neutrophilia, lymphocytosis, thrombocytosis).
rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP and Ad26.ZEBOV, MVA-BN-Filo are WHO-prequalified vaccination regimens against Ebola virus disease (EVD). Challenges associated with measuring long-term clinical protection warrant the evaluation of immune response kinetics after vaccination.

- The study focused on managing acute pain in adults with sickle cell disease (SCD), particularly during vaso-occlusive crises (VOC), which occur when sickle cells block microvessels, leading to severe pain.* -
- An analysis of 118 cases revealed that most patients (86.61%) had the SS sickle cell phenotype, with predominant pain in the lower limbs and spine, and a majority experiencing intense to unbearable pain.* -
- The findings underscore the effectiveness of multimodal analgesia as a treatment approach, while also indicating significant variability in pain management practices, suggesting a need for tailored recommendations.*

Effect of Deep Hypothermia (18°C) on Dioxygen Metabolism During Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy Surgery.

December 2024
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to assess how deep hypothermia affects oxygen extraction (OE) and oxygen consumption (VO) in patients undergoing a specific heart surgery at different temperatures (normothermic, 30°C, 25°C, and 18°C).
- Over 3 months, 24 patients' hemodynamic and blood gas data were collected, revealing significant decreases in VO (from 65.9 to 25.1 mL O/min/m) and OE (from 18% to 9%) as temperature dropped to 18°C.
- The results indicate that metabolic needs are primarily met by dissolved oxygen during the cooling phase, highlighting the importance of increasing arterial oxygen pressure to prevent hypoxia in patients undergoing deep hyp
