Outcomes for extremely low gestational age newborns (ELGANs), defined as <28 weeks estimated gestational age (EGA), remain disproportionately poor. A radical paradigm shift in the treatment of prematurity is to recreate the fetal environment with extracorporeal support and provide an environment for organ maturation using an extracorporeal VV-ECLS artificial placenta (AP) or an AV-ECLS artificial womb (AW). In this article, we will review clinical indications, current approaches in development, ongoing challenges, remaining milestones and ethical considerations prior to clinical translation.

Acute coronary syndrome associated cardiogenic shock in the catheterization laboratory: peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenator management and recommendations.

Cardiogenic shock (CS) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a critical disease with high mortality rates requiring complex treatment to maximize patient survival chances. Emergent coronary revascularization along with circulatory support are keys to saving lives. Mechanical circulatory support may be instigated in severe, yet still reversible instances.

Background: Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) is often used as a surrogate for left-ventricular end-diastolic pressure in patients (LVEDP) who are on veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) support for cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest. However, the correlation between PCWP and LVEDP is not clear in the setting of V-A ECMO usage. We sought to evaluate this correlation in this case series.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) within the same subfamily often share high homology in their orthosteric pocket and therefore pose challenges to drug development. The amino acids that form the orthosteric binding pocket for epinephrine and norepinephrine in the β and β adrenergic receptors (βAR and βAR) are identical. Here, to examine the effect of conformational restriction on ligand binding kinetics, we synthesized a constrained form of epinephrine.

We describe the kinetics of excimer electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of a liquid pyrene derivative, 1-pyrenebutyricacid 2-ethylhexylester (PLQ) dissolved in a molecular solvent, acetonitrile (MeCN), and an ionic liquid, triethylpentylphosphonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([P][TFSI]). Pyrene was also used for comparison. To discuss the kinetics of the excimer ECLs, the photophysical and electrochemical properties and electronic states of PLQ and pyrene were revealed.
