The deformability of blood vessels in one-dimensional blood flow models is typically described through a pressure-area relation, known as the tube law. The most used tube laws take into account the elastic and viscous components of the tension of the vessel wall. Accurately parametrizing the tube laws is vital for replicating pressure and flow wave propagation phenomena. Here, we present a novel mathematical-property-preserving approach for the estimation of the parameters of the elastic and viscoelastic tube laws. Our goal was to estimate the parameters by using ovine and human in vitro data, while constraining them to meet prescribed mathematical properties. Results show that both elastic and viscoelastic tube laws accurately describe experimental pressure-area data concerning both quantitative and qualitative aspects. Additionally, the viscoelastic tube law can provide a qualitative explanation for the observed hysteresis cycles. The two models were evaluated using two approaches: (i) allowing all parameters to freely vary within their respective ranges and (ii) fixing some of the parameters. The former approach was found to be the most suitable for reproducing pressure-area curves.

Objective: Intestinal transplantation (ITx) has become an accepted option for children with serious complications from intestinal failure and parenteral nutrition (PN) dependence. We aimed to assess long-term growth and nutritional outcomes in these patients. We also assessed factors influencing nutritional status and ability to wean off tube feedings (TFs) after ITx.

Article Synopsis
- - The paper discusses the increasing prevalence of LSD analogs, known as "designer psychedelics," in illegal drug markets, which has led to a rise in recreational use and detection by law enforcement.
- - Researchers developed a highly sensitive UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS method to detect LSD and its various analogs in biological samples, achieving limits of quantification as low as 0.5 pg/mL.
- - A stability study highlighted that using NaF for sample collection can help stabilize LSD analogs, making this method useful for clinical and forensic applications to identify new designer drugs.

Article Synopsis
- Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a serious condition affecting extremely preterm infants, and while systemic corticosteroids can help, they come with risks; inhaled corticosteroids may provide a safer alternative.
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of administering budesonide, an inhaled corticosteroid, alongside surfactant in improving survival rates without BPD among extremely preterm infants.
- Conducted across 21 neonatal units in four countries, the trial involved 1,059 infants and found that 25.6% of those receiving budesonide plus surfactant survived without BPD, compared to 22.6% in the surfactant-only group.
