Assessment of hemodynamic parameters by PiCCO and PAC in patients treated with the Impella CP.

In 28 patients supported by an Impella pump (Impella CP, Abiomed Inc., Danvers, MA), hemodynamic measurements by PiCCO (PULSION Medical Systems SE, Feldkirchen, Germany) and pulmonary artery catheter (PAC or Swan-Ganz Catheter; Edwards Lifescience, Unterschleissheim, Germany) were compared. There was a significant positive correlation of cardiac output (CO;  = 0.

A Performance Comparison of Different YOLOv7 Networks for High-Accuracy Cell Classification in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Utilising the Adam Optimiser and Label Smoothing.

Accurate classification of cells in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid is essential for the assessment of lung disease in pneumology and critical care medicine. However, the effectiveness of BAL fluid analysis is highly dependent on individual expertise. Our research is focused on improving the accuracy and efficiency of BAL cell classification using the "You Only Look Once" (YOLO) algorithm to reduce variability and increase the accuracy of cell detection in BALF analysis.

Plate or Arthroplasty for complex Mason Type-III Radial Head Fractures? Mid-to-long term results from a blinded outcome assessor study.

Background: The surgical treatment of radial head fractures like Mason type III comminuted radial head fractures is challenging and controversial. Whether to use open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) or radial head arthroplasty (RHA) as treatment methods is under constant debate.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical and radiographic mid- to long-term results of 42 patients with a mean follow-up time of 4.

Development and Implementation of an Online Patient Education Program for Children and Adolescents With Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Their Parents, Siblings, and School Personnel: Protocol for the Prospective BAYNET FOR ME/CFS Study.

Background: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) presents significant challenges for affected children and adolescents, their social environment, and treating physicians, due to its profound impact on quality of life and the lack of causal therapeutic approaches. One crucial aspect of care that has been missing for these patients is comprehensive education for both them and their social circles.

Objective: This study protocol aims to outline the goals, study design, execution, and evaluation of the subproject within the BAYNET FOR ME/CFS project.

Irisin reduces senile osteoporosis by inducing osteocyte mitophagy through Ampk activation.

Irisin, an exercise-induced myokine, is known to be able to regulate bone metabolism. However, the underlying mechanisms regarding the effects of irisin on senile osteoporosis have not been fully elucidated. Here, we demonstrated that irisin can inhibit bone mass loss and bone microarchitecture alteration in senile osteoporosis mouse model.

MLAU-Net: Deep supervised attention and hybrid loss strategies for enhanced segmentation of low-resolution kidney ultrasound.

Objective: The precise segmentation of kidneys from a 2D ultrasound (US) image is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring kidney diseases. However, achieving detailed segmentation is difficult due to US images' low signal-to-noise ratio and low-contrast object boundaries.

Methods: This paper presents an approach called deep supervised attention with multi-loss functions (MLAU-Net) for US segmentation.

Antibody selection and automated quantification of TRPV1 immunofluorescence on human skin.

Assessing localization of the transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) in skin nerve fibers is crucial for understanding its role in peripheral neuropathy and pain. However, information on the specificity and sensitivity of TRPV1 antibodies used for immunofluorescence (IF) on human skin is currently lacking. To find a reliable TRPV1 antibody and IF protocol, we explored antibody candidates from different manufacturers, used rat DRG sections and human skin samples for screening and human TRPV1-expressing HEK293 cells for further validation.
