01). A multivariable model with lactate group and post-ROSC vasopressor use as predictors demonstrated moderate discrimination (AUC 0.64 ). Including other variables, the most parsimonious model included lactate, age, body mass index, race, and history of arrhythmia, cancer and/or liver disease (AUC 0.70 ).

Post-ROSC lactate and need for…[Read more]

the retinal inner layers was strongly correlated with the capillary nonperfusion area. This may support the notion that the extent of disorganization of the retinal inner layers can be used as an easily obtainable and crucial surrogate marker of capillary ischemia.

Disorganization of the retinal inner layers appears to be a correlated biomarker…[Read more]

The coating with Triclosan-loaded nanogels shows a killing efficacy of up to 99.99% of adhering bacteria on the surface compared to nonquaternized nanogel coatings while still possessing an antifouling activity. This powerful multifunctional coating for combating biomaterial-associated infection is envisioned to greatly impact the design…[Read more]

Future studies should confirm if these findings hold true in humans and investigate the impacts of WSS at different levels of the pulmonary tree on growth.While the degree of cerebellar tonsillar descent is considered the primary radiologic marker of Chiari malformation type I (CMI), biomechanical forces acting on the brain tissue in CMI subjects…[Read more]

Animals often disperse from one habitat to another to access mates or suitable breeding sites. The costs and benefits of such movements depend, in part, on the dispersing individuals’ phenotypes, including their sex and age. Here we investigated dispersal and road-related mortality in larvae of a bioluminescent beetle, the European common…[Read more]
