The effect of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) on the cardiovascular system of the dog has been studied in experiments with anesthetized dogs. After intravenous injections of PGE1 (5 microgram/kg) arterial hypotension, tachycardia, increase of cardiac output, increase of myocardial contractility were observed. PGE1 induced dilatation of pulmonary vessels. Peripheral resistance reduced. The work of the left ventricle after PGE1 injection underwent two-phase changes: it increased for a short period of time and then reduced. The work of the right ventricle was activated. PGE1 caused a significant increase of the volume flow rate in the coronary (44%), femoral (83%) and superior mesenteric (59%) arteries.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections in young children. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant change in the epidemiology of RSV and other viruses occurred worldwide, leading to a reduction in the circulation of these infectious agents. After the pandemic, the resurgence of seasonal respiratory viruses occurred, but some features of these infections contrast to those registered prior to the pandemic.

Currently, the automotive sector is showing increased demands regarding the color of cars in general, but especially the quality and the time of painting, in particular. Companies working in this industry, especially in specialized painting services, must perform work of impeccable quality in the shortest possible time in order to be efficient. Color differences that appear in different areas of the car result from the use of different formulas for obtaining color.

Stroke is a global health issue caused by reduced blood flow to the brain, which leads to severe motor disabilities. Measuring oxygen levels in the brain tissue is crucial for understanding the severity and evolution of stroke. While CT or fMRI scans are preferred for confirming a stroke due to their high sensitivity, Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS)-based systems could be an alternative for monitoring stroke evolution.

Toxic acetone gas emissions and leakage are a potential threat to the environment and human health. Gas sensors founded on metal oxide semiconductors (MOS) have become an effective strategy for toxic gas detection with their mature process. In the present work, an efficient acetone gas sensor based on Au-modified ZnO porous nanofoam (Au/ZnO) is synthesized by polyvinylpyrrolidone-blowing followed by a calcination method.
