Fluid administration is widely used to treat hypotension in patients undergoing veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). However, excessive fluid administration may lead to fluid overload can aggravate acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and increase patient mortality, predicting fluid responsiveness is of great significance for VV-ECMO patients. This prospective single-center study was conducted in a medical intensive care unit (ICU) and finally included 51 VV-ECMO patients with ARDS in the prone position (PP).

16S ribosomal nucleic acid (16S rRNA) analysis allows to specifically target the metabolically active members of microbial communities. The stability of the ratios between target genes in the workflow, which is essential for the bioprocess-relevance of the data derived from this analysis, was investigated using synthetic mock communities constructed by mixing purified 16S rRNA from Bacillus subtilis (Bs), Staphylococcus aureus (Sa), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa), Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) and Burkholderia cepacia (Bc) in different proportions. The RT reaction yielded one copy of cDNA per rRNA molecule for Pa, Bc and Sa but only 2/3 of the expected cDNA from 16S rRNAs of Bs and Kp.

Background: Entropy quantifies the level of disorder within a system. Low entropy reflects increased rigidity of homeostatic feedback systems possibly reflecting failure of protective physiological mechanisms like cerebral autoregulation. In traumatic brain injury (TBI), low entropy of heart rate and intracranial pressure (ICP) predict unfavorable outcome.

Background: INTER- and INTRAmuscular fat (IMF) is elevated in high metabolic states and can promote inflammation. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) excels in depicting IMF, the lack of reproducible tools prevents the ability to measure change and track intervention success.
Methods: We detail an open-source fully-automated iterative threshold-seeking algorithm (ITSA) for segmenting IMF from T1-weighted MRI of the calf and thigh within three cohorts (CaMos Hamilton (N = 54), AMBERS (N = 280), OAI (N = 105)) selecting adults 45-85 years of age.

A novel biomimetic molecular imprinted polymer chip with fluorescence (FL) and structural (STR) states, inspired by color patterns of chameleon skin, is fabricated for detecting diethylstilbestrol (DES). The chip features a regularly structured, non-closed-packed (NCP) colloidal photonic crystal (CPC) lattice made monodisperse MIP spheres containing fluorescence poly ionic liquid (FPIL) pigments. The FL color originates from FPIL pigments and is further enhanced by the Purcell effect, while the STR color results from the periodic arrangement of the NCP CPC structure.
