Background: Pregnancy-associated atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a form of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) caused by uncontrolled activation of the complement system during pregnancy or the postpartum period. In the intensive care unit, aHUS must be differentiated from sepsis-related multiple organ dysfunction, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet (HELLP) syndrome. Early recognition of aHUS is critical for effective treatment and improved prognosis.

Objective: Asthma is a prevalent global health issue, especially affecting children in numerous countries. Our study aimed to determine the most effective nebulizer type by comparing the effects of mesh nebulizers (MNs) and compressor nebulizers (CNs) on spirometry tests in pediatric asthma attacks.
Methods: The prospective, double-blind, randomized comparative study was conducted with patients aged 7-15 presenting with asthma attacks.

Direct current (DC) electrical block of peripheral nerve conduction shows promise for clinical applications to treat spasticity, pain, and cardiac arrhythmias. Most previous work has used invasive nerve cuffs. Here we investigate the potential of non-invasive transcutaneous direct current motor block (tDCB).
