Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) is nutritionally superior to other cereals of the family Poaceae, with the potential to perform better in marginal environments. In the present context of climate change, ecologically sound and low-input foxtail millet varieties can be chosen for agricultural sustainability.

- A study called PEERLESS compared two catheter methods, large-bore mechanical thrombectomy (LBMT) and catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT), for treating intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) in 550 patients, focusing on various health outcomes.
- The results showed that LBMT led to fewer complications and less need for intensive care compared to CDT, including lower rates of clinical deterioration and ICU admissions.
- Although LBMT had better short-term outcomes, there were no significant differences in mortality or major bleeding between the two treatment methods after 30 days.
Background: Eliminating hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a significant worldwide challenge requiring innovative approaches for vaccination, screening, disease management, and the prevention of related conditions. Programs that support patients in accessing needed clinical services can help optimize access to preventive services and treatment resources for hepatitis B.
Methods: Here, we outline a coordinator-supported program (HBV Pathway) that connects patients infected with HBV to laboratory testing, imaging, and specialty care for treatment initiation and/or liver cancer surveillance (screening of high-risk patients for liver cancer).
Severe acute hypercapnia is independently associated with increased adverse effects and intensive care unit mortality in mechanically ventilated patients. During the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) pandemic, some patients were placed on extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal support when extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support was at capacity or not offered. We present a patient with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by COVID-19 pneumonia, who was supported with Hemolung Respiratory Assist System (ALung Technologies, Inc.
