Article Synopsis
- The study investigates in-hospital mortality and post-discharge outcomes for patients with COVID-19 who received ECMO during the pandemic's first wave (March 1 - Sept 13, 2020).
- Conducted by the European Extracorporeal Life Support Organization, it included 1215 patients from 21 countries and focused on various patient-related factors affecting survival rates.
- Findings revealed a 50% in-hospital mortality rate, with factors like age, pre-ECMO complications, and delays in ECMO initiation linked to higher mortality.
A prospective, multi-center, randomised controlled trial for evaluation of the effectiveness of the Blimp scoring balloon in lesions not crossable with a conventional balloon or microcatheter: the BLIMP study.

Introduction: Sertraline is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor which is often used as first-line treatment for depression. Several patterns of interstitial lung disease attributable to sertraline have been reported in the literature.
Case Report: A 69-year-old patient, who had been taking sertraline to treat severe depression for 10 months, presented with a deterioration in his general condition and respiratory symptoms found to be associated with bilateral pneumonitis.
Recommendations on the management of multiple myeloma in 2020.
Acta Clin Belg
April 2022
Institut Jules Bordet, ULB, Brussels, Belgium.
With the introduction of immunomodulatory drugs, proteasome inhibitors, and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies, major improvements have been achieved in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), with a significant impact on the outcome of this disease. Different treatment combinations are now in use and other therapies are being developed. Based on an extensive review of the recent literature, we propose practical recommendations on myeloma management, to be used by hematologists as a reference for daily practice.

Centre for Heart Lung Innovation, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
The application of stereology to lung casts and two-dimensional microscopy images is the gold standard for quantification of the human lung anatomy. However, these techniques are labor intensive, involving fixation, embedding, and histological sectioning of samples and thus have prevented comprehensive studies. Our objective was to demonstrate the application of stereology to volumetric multiresolution computed tomography (CT) to efficiently and extensively quantify the human lung anatomy.
