Impeller radial gap is one of important parts within a blood pump, which may affect the hemodynamics and hemocompatibility. In this study, computational fluid dynamics method was performed to evaluate the impact of radial gap sizes. The volume of scalar shear stress decreased with radial gap sizes increasing.

Acute cardiovascular disorders are incriminated in up to 33% of maternal deaths, and the presence of sickle cell anemia (SCA) aggravates the risk of peripartum complications. Herein, we present a 24-year-old Caribbean woman with known SCA who developed a vaso-occlusive crisis at 36 weeks of gestation that required emergency Cesarean section. In the early postpartum period, she experienced fever with rapid onset of acute respiratory distress in the context of COVID-19 infection that required tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilatory support with broad-spectrum antibiotics and blood exchange transfusion.

Treatment with veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) has become a frequently considered rescue therapy in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Hemolysis is a common complication in patients treated with ECMO. Currently, it is unclear whether increased ECMO blood flow (Q̇) contributes to mortality and might be associated with increased hemolysis.

The red blood cell (RBC) membrane is unique and crucial for maintaining structural-functional relationships. Maternal smoking induces significant changes in the morphological, rheological, and functional parameters of both maternal and foetal RBCs, mainly due to the continuous generation of the free radicals. The major aim of this study was to follow the consequences of a secondary stressor, like fungal infection, on the already compromised RBC populations.

Hematologic complications are common in pregnancy and can significantly impact both maternal and fetal health. Recognizing and treating these complications can be challenging due to the limited evidence available to guide clinical consultants. Iron deficiency anemia is the most prevalent hematologic issue in pregnancy and often occurs due to increased maternal blood volume and the nutritional demands of the growing fetus.
