Background: The placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a severe complication of pregnancy and is associated with massive haemorrhage, hysterectomy, and even perinatal maternal-foetal death. Prophylactic abdominal aortic balloon occlusion (PAABO) is a novel and efficient therapy for these patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the benefits, potential risks, and characteristics of anaesthesia management.
Methods: A total of 48 parturients with PAS were enrolled and divided into two groups. Group A (n = 25) received PAABO, and Group B (n = 23) underwent a normal operative procedure. The characteristics of the general parameters, anaesthesia, and operative procedure were noted. Data on vital signs including systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart rate (HR) during the operation were recorded. Before and after the procedure, hepatic and renal function and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were also measured.
Results: The characteristics of the groups were comparable. PAABO significantly reduced estimated blood loss, which was ≥ 1000 ml. Drastic fluctuations in SBP, DBP and HR were observed during inflation and deflation in Group B. After the operation, increased LDH and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) were observed in both groups, and increased glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GTP) was observed in Group B.
Conclusions: PAABO reduced perioperative blood loss and the risk of hysterectomy among parturients with PAS. Sophisticated anaesthetic management should be implemented to prevent or reduce perioperative complications and address internal disorders that are caused by massive blood loss.

While numerous studies have established correlations between parasite load and negative effects on their hosts, establishing causality is more challenging because parasites can directly compromise host condition and survival or simply opportunistically thrive on an already weakened host. Here, we evaluated whether Ixodes uriae, a widespread seabird tick, can cause a decrease in growth parameters (body mass, bill length and growth rates) and survival of chicks of a colonially seabird, the black-browed albatross (Thalassarche melanophris) breeding on New Island (West Falkland). To investigate this, we daily removed the ticks from 28 randomly selected chicks during their first 14 days of life (treated chicks) and compared their growth and survival with 49 chicks of a control group.

Currently, the barrier to successful lung transplantation is ischemia and reperfusion injury, which can lead to the development of bronchiolitis obliterans. Paclitaxel and methotrexate are drugs known to inhibit cell proliferation and have anti-inflammatory effects, and the association of these drugs with cholesterol-rich nanoparticles has been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of other transplanted organs. Thirty-three male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups: Basal group, no intervention; Control group, received only nanoparticles; Drug group, paclitaxel and methotrexate treatment.

The triglyceride to high density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio has been consistently linked with the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Nevertheless, there is a paucity of studies focusing on acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or experiencing bleeding events. The study encompassed 17,643 ACS participants who underwent PCI.

Imaging flow cytometry allows image-activated cell sorting (IACS) with enhanced feature dimensions in cellular morphology, structure, and composition. However, existing IACS frameworks suffer from the challenges of 3D information loss and processing latency dilemma in real-time sorting operation. Herein, we establish a neuromorphic-enabled video-activated cell sorter (NEVACS) framework, designed to achieve high-dimensional spatiotemporal characterization content alongside high-throughput sorting of particles in wide field of view.

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a progressive cerebrovascular disorder that increases the risk of intracranial ischemia and hemorrhage. Timely diagnosis and intervention can significantly reduce the risk of new-onset stroke in patients with MMD. However, the current diagnostic methods are invasive and expensive, and non-invasive diagnosis using biomarkers of MMD is rarely reported.
