Article Synopsis
- DCD hearts often suffer from ischemia/reperfusion injury due to inflammatory cytokines, which can hurt their contractility, but using cytokine adsorption during blood perfusion could help reduce these cytokines and enhance heart function.
- In the study, porcine DCD hearts were perfused with and without a cytokine adsorber called CytoSorb for 4 hours and then analyzed for heart performance and cytokine levels; those with CytoSorb showed significantly better contractility and lower inflammatory markers.
- Findings indicate that using CytoSorb not only improved heart function at first but also led to beneficial changes in myocardial pathways, suggesting its potential to optimize
Erucic acid exposure during the first year of life-Scenarios with precise food-based dietary guidelines.

Recently, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) issued a tolerable daily intake (TDI) for erucic acid, which is mainly found in rapeseed oil. Infants may be exposed to erucic acid from rapeseed oil indirectly through maternal consumption via breastmilk or the fat component in formula, and directly as a part of complementary feeding (CF). To check the safety of infant nutrition, scenarios for erucic acid exposure were calculated based on the daily food amounts of the German dietary guidelines.

Objectives: Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is an emerging flaviviral zoonosis in Central and Eastern Europe. TBE can present as meningitis, meningoencephalitis, or meningoencephalomyelitis. Dysfunction of the autonomic (ANS) and peripheral motoric and sensory nervous system (PNS) might contribute to acute and long-term complications.
