The gastrointestinal tract can be deranged by ailments including sepsis, trauma and haemorrhage. Ischaemic injury provokes a common constellation of microscopic and macroscopic changes that, together with the paradoxical exacerbation of cellular dysfunction and death following restoration of blood flow, are collectively known as ischaemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Although much of the gastrointestinal tract is normally hypoxemic, intestinal IRI results when there is inadequate oxygen availability due to poor supply (pathological hypoxia) or abnormal tissue oxygen use and metabolism (dysoxia).

Background: Elephant seals exhibit extreme hypoxemic tolerance derived from repetitive hypoxia/reoxygenation episodes they experience during diving bouts. Real-time assessment of the molecular changes underlying protection against hypoxic injury in seals remains restricted by their at-sea inaccessibility. Hence, we developed a proliferative arterial endothelial cell culture model from elephant seals and used RNA-seq, functional assays, and confocal microscopy to assess the molecular response to prolonged hypoxia.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV2) virus has been known to manifest various non-pulmonary complications in the affected patient, including both venous and less frequently, arterial thrombosis. Ongoing research is necessary to determine who might benefit from therapeutic anticoagulation as well as potentially develop an algorithm to predict thromboembolic events in this patient population. We present a case of a 65-year-old man with a past medical history of hypertension, diabetes type 2, and a previous cerebrovascular accident who was admitted with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Rationale: Severe methemoglobinemia (Met-Hb) is rare. The delayed diagnosis and treatment often cause further damage. The management of cellular hypoxemia is challenging and the use of extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has never been reported.
