In major craniosynostosis surgery with moderate to severe blood loss, patients may be exposed to multiple donors. We have previously reported a method for reducing donor exposure using mixed pediatric units including plasma. To further reduce donor exposure, we used plasma-free divided pediatric units.

The present study investigated whether a newly developed monoamine transport inhibitor, IP2015, improves erectile function.
Experimental Approach: We investigated the effects of IP2015 on monoamine uptake and binding, erectile function in rats and diabetic mice and the effect on corpus cavernosum contractility.
Background: The decline in global child mortality is an important public health achievement, yet child mortality remains disproportionally high in many low-income countries like Guinea-Bissau. The persisting high mortality rates necessitate targeted research to identify vulnerable subgroups of children and formulate effective interventions.
Objective: This study aimed to discover subgroups of children at an elevated risk of mortality in the urban setting of Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, West Africa.
Background: Activation of endothelial small conductance calcium-activated K+ channels (KCa2.3) and intermediate conductance calcium-activated K+ channels (KCa3.1) leads to vascular relaxation.
