Does adjunctive hemoadsorption provide benefit in the management of ischemia-reperfusion syndrome following near-drowning? A case report.

Drowning remains a significant global health concern, claiming over 300,000 lives annually, with a disproportionate impact on young individuals in low-and middle-income countries. Conventional mechanical ventilation, while common, falls short in addressing the hypoxemia and hypercapnia often observed in severe near-drowning cases. Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vvECMO) emerges as a critical intervention for cardiopulmonary failure post-drowning.

Human Cytomegalovirus Oncoprotection across Diverse Populations, Tumor Histologies, and Age Groups: The Relevance for Prospective Vaccinal Therapy.

The oncogenicity of the human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is currently being widely debated. Most recently, mounting clinical evidence suggests an anti-cancer effect via CMV-induced T cell-mediated tumor destruction. However, the data were mostly obtained from single-center studies and in vitro experiments.

Recognizing the Frequency of Exposure to Cyberbullying in Children: The Results of the National HBSC Study in Serbia.

Nowadays, children are able to enrich their reality via the Internet. Unfortunately, this may increase their risk of becoming victims of cyberbullying. We analyzed the health characteristics and risk behavior of two cohorts of children in Serbia; those who reported being exposed to cyberbullying and those who did not.

Post VV-ECMO Weaning Hyperinflammation-Can Prophylactic Hemoadsorption Treatment Prevent Complications?

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe clinical condition characterized by acute respiratory failure and a high mortality risk despite conventional mechanical ventilatory support. Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vvECMO) has emerged as an effective life-support technology for patients with ARDS. However, complications may arise following the decannulation of vvECMO, with a relatively frequent development of systemic hyperinflammation (SHI).

Boron-Related Defects in N-Type 4H-SiC Schottky Barrier Diodes.

We report on boron-related defects in the low-doped n-type (nitrogen-doped) 4H-SiC semitransparent Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) studied by minority carrier transient spectroscopy (MCTS). An unknown concentration of boron was introduced during chemical vapor deposition (CVD) crystal growth. Boron incorporation was found to lead to the appearance of at least two boron-related deep-level defects, namely, shallow (B) and deep boron (D-center), with concentrations as high as 1 × 10 cm.
