Objective: To assess the utilization and cost of intraoperative cell salvage (ICS) in minimally invasive myomectomy.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent minimally invasive myomectomy at a quaternary care academic hospital. Patients were classified into: ICS setup vs no ICS setup, ICS setup with reinfusion vs ICS setup without reinfusion.
Results: Of 382 patients who underwent minimally invasive myomectomy, 67 (17.5 %) had ICS setup, 30 (44.8 %) of those patients reinfused. Median volume of reinfusion per patient was 300 mL (range 125-1000 mL). Patients who ultimately underwent ICS reinfusion, compared to those with ICS setup only, had significantly larger mean maximum fibroid size (9.8 cm vs 8.0 cm, p = 0.02), higher median total specimen weight (367 vs 304 g, p = 0.03), higher median estimated blood loss (575 vs 300 mL, p < 0.0001), longer mean operative time (261 vs 215 min, p = 0.04). No perioperative complications were associated with ICS. Higher costs are associated with universal use or complete lack of ICS; lowest cost is associated with ICS setup only for those ultimately reinfused.
Conclusion: ICS might reduce requirements for allogeneic blood transfusions in patients undergoing minimally invasive myomectomy, and may contribute to cost savings. Uterine and maximum fibroid sizes are possible preoperative indicators for patients who require cell salvage reinfusion.

In this study, we investigated the efficiency of a bentonite/iron-coated sand (B/ICS) stabilizer in reducing the mobility and accumulation of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Zn, and As) in contaminated sediments. Bentonite is effective in the adsorption of heavy metals, while ICS is effective in the adsorption of As. When combined, the stabilizer can be applied to mixed-contaminated sediments containing both heavy metals and As.

The reliability and durability of integrated circuits (ICs), present in almost every electronic system, from consumer electronics to the automotive or aerospace industries, have been and will continue to be critical concerns for IC chip makers, especially in scaled nanometer technologies. In this context, ICs are expected to deliver optimal performance and reliability throughout their projected lifetime. However, real-time reliability assessment and remaining lifetime projections during in-field IC operation remain unknown due to the absence of trustworthy on-chip reliability monitors.

Mirion Technologies (AWST) GmbH, Munich, Germany.
The European Dosimetry Group has been organising international intercomparisons (ICs) for personal dosemeters on a regular basis. The IC announced in 2020 was postponed to the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021 due to coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions. The irradiation plan consisted of nine irradiation setups with five different photon radiation qualities (S-Cs, S-Co, N-150, W-60, W-80) and two different angles of irradiation incidence (0o and 60o).

The European Radiation Dosimetry Group (EURADOS) has been organising regular, self-funding, external dosimetry intercomparisons (ICs) since 2008. IC2019exteye, for extremity and eye lens dosemeters, attracted 113 systems (68 extremity and 45 eye lens) from 60 institutes with participants from 26 countries around the world. Irradiations were carried out in accredited European irradiation facilities in terms of Hp(0.
