Objective: Peak blood lactate at 24 h after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can predict 30-day mortality in infants after complex cardiac surgery.

Methods: Twenty-eight infants with ECMO after complex congenital heart disease surgery were selected from March 2019 to March 2022 in our hospital. The infants were divided into survival group (n = 11) and non-survival group (n = 17) according to 30-day survival after discharge from hospital. The risk factors at 30-day mortality after discharge were analyzed by Cox regression analysis.

Results: When compared to the non-survival group, there were significant differences in peak blood lactate at 24 h after ECMO, liver dysfunction and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) in the survival group (p < 0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that peak blood lactate at 24 h after ECMO (HR = 1.074, 95% CI: 1.005-1.149, p = 0.036) and MODS (HR = 4.120, 95% CI: 1.373-12.362, p = 0.012) were related risk factors affecting the prognosis of infants. The best cutoff value for the peak blood lactate at 24 h after ECMO was 10.2 mmol/L. The area under the curve (AUC) for predicting the 30-day survival rate of the ECMO assisted infants after discharge from hospital was 0.770 (95% CI: 0.592-0.948, p = 0.018), with a sensitivity of 94.1% and specificity of 54.5%.

Conclusion: The peak blood lactate at 24 h after ECMO can predict the 30-day mortality after discharge of infants treated with ECMO after complex cardiac surgery. The best cut-off value for peak blood lactate at 24 h after ECMO was 10.2 mmol/L.

Background: Objective indices of functional capacity in patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy and stage B heart failure (HF) have not been comprehensively defined. We sought to characterize the cardiopulmonary exercise characteristics of individuals with diabetic cardiomyopathy at high risk for overt HF.

Methods: The relationships from cardiopulmonary exercise testing with clinical and laboratory characteristics of participants with diabetic cardiomyopathy were evaluated using baseline data from the ARISE-HF trial (Aldose Reductase Inhibition for Stabilization of Exercise Capacity in Heart Failure).

Introduction: Critically ill patients present multiple risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Underdosing of antithrombotic medications can result in VTE even as bleeding remains a significant concern for critically ill patients. On the other hand bleeding, remaining a significant concern for the critically ill, can be worsend by overdosing of antithrombotic medications.

Introduction: The effect and mechanism of skipping breakfast on glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Asian-Indians is unknown.

Methods: Cross-over, within-group study recruiting 5 habitual breakfast eaters (BE) and 5 habitual breakfast skippers (BS) with uncontrolled T2DM (HbA1c 7-9%). Patients underwent testing after three days of following their usual breakfast habits and after seven days of crossing over to the other arm.

Vitamin D is essential for cattle and can be synthesized in the skin under ultraviolet irradiation. This study investigated the effects of narrow-band UV-B irradiation during automatic milking on blood vitamin D concentration and the influence of hair and black skin areas on cutaneous vitamin D synthesis in Holstein Friesian cows. Fifty-one cows were stratified by milk yield, days after calving, and percentage of black skin, then divided into three groups: shaved and irradiated (80 J/m), unshaved and irradiated (129-305 J/m), and a control group.

Cannabidiol (CBD), a specialized metabolite (phytocannabinoid) abundant in Cannabis sativa, is attracting increasing attention for its alleged health-promoting properties. The present study aimed to investigate the pharmacokinetics of CBD and its primary metabolite, 7-hydroxy-cannabidiol (7-OH-CBD), following a single oral dose of a CBD-rich Cannabis sativa extract, equivalent to 70 mg CBD, in healthy male (n=5) and female (n=6) participants. Using a randomized crossover design, the study evaluated the impact of a standardized high-fat meal compared to fasting on the oral bioavailability of CBD.
