Many patients benefit from the use of tunneled Dacron-cuffed central venous catheters. Operative insertion with the aid of fluoroscopy is required for the proper placement of these devices. Perioperative unintentional removal of the catheter is a reported complication. The outward migration of the device occurs before adequate tissue ingrowth into the Dacron cuff has taken place. The frequency with which this unfavorable outcome occurs can be reduced by placement of a subcutaneous absorbable restraining suture distal to the Dacron cuff during the insertion procedure. The authors advocate the routine use of this adjunctive measure for the insertion of all Dacron-cuffed caval catheters.

Bleeding From Unintentional Portal Vein Stenting During Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Managed With Portal Vein Stent Graft Placement-A Case Report With a Detailed Review of the Literature.

Suspicion of vascular injury during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) should be raised in the event of intraprocedural bleeding, persistent hyperbilirubinemia, and sepsis despite biliary stenting. Most inadvertent portal vein (PV) cannulations during ERCP are innocuous, and mere withdrawal of guidewire and catheter suffices. However, unintentional PV stenting, particularly with larger metallic stents, increases the likelihood of significant bleeding.

Objective: Early mobilisation in critically ill children is safe and feasible. However, the effectiveness of early mobilisation on short- and long-term outcomes is understudied. The aim of this scoping review was to generate an overview of outcomes used in previous research regarding early mobilisation in critically ill children.

Worldwide attention is focused on microplastics environmental pollution, primarily for its potential negative effects on biota and human health. It is of great importance to identify standardized analytical methods to have an objective feedback about this concern. The recent regulation regarding the intentionally added microplastics content and the attention for the unintentional microplastics release are the basis of this work, whose topic is the development of an analytical method for microbeads (spheres) and microparticles (fragments) determination in certain cosmetic samples, in particular creamy samples.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials, particularly transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), have gathered significant attention due to their interesting electrical and optical properties. Among TMDs, monolayers of WSeexhibit a direct band gap and high exciton binding energy, which enhances photon emission and absorption even at room temperature. This study investigates the electronic and optical properties of WSemonolayers when they are mechanically transferred to indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates.

Janus transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are a novel class of 2D materials with unique mirror asymmetry. Plasma-assisted synthesis at room temperature is favored for producing Janus TMDs due to its energy efficiency and prevention of alloying. However, current methods require stringent control over growth conditions, risking defects or unintended materials.
