Blood flow disturbance of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) can be a risk factor of weaning failure. We report an alternative position of cannulae of VV-ECMO which can maintain blood flow. The recirculation rate could be controlled by adjusting a position of return cannula using dilutional ultrasound monitoring.

Background: In glioblastoma (GBM) therapy research, tumour treating fields by the company Novocure™, have shown promise for increasing patient overall survival. When used with the chemotherapeutic agent temozolomide, they extend median survival by five months. However, there is a space to design alternative systems that will be amenable for wider use in current research.

Objective: Spinopelvic sagittal balance ensures efficient posture and minimizes energy expenditure by aligning the spine, pelvis, and lower extremities. Deviations can cause clinical issues like back pain and functional limitations. Key radiographic parameters, including pelvic tilt (PT), pelvic incidence (PI), sacral slope (SS), and lumbar lordosis (LL), are essential for evaluating spinal pathologies and planning surgeries.

A "comb-dentition", characterized by long, needle-like, and closely-spaced teeth, is found in the ctenochasmatid pterosaurs as an adaptation for filter-feeding. However, little is known about their tooth replacement pattern, hindering our understanding of the development of the filter-feeding apparatus of the clade. Here, we describe the tooth replacement of the pterosaur Forfexopterus from the Jehol Biota based on high-resolution X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) reconstruction.

The crystallographic phase change from tetragonal litharge (α-PbO; P4/nmm) to orthorhombic massicot (β-PbO; Pbcm) has been studied by full-matrix Rietveld analysis of high-temperature neutron powder diffraction data collected in equal steps from ambient temperature up to 925 K and back down to 350 K. The phase transformation takes place between 850 and 925 K, with the coexisting phases having equal abundance by weight at 885 K. The product massicot remains metastable on cooling to near ambient temperature.
