Abstract

Venovenous tidal flow perfusion for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation via a single lumen cannula in the right atrium avoids the sacrifice of a carotid artery inherent in venoarterial systems, and eliminates the problems of two cannula venovenous perfusion. Oxygen delivery and hemodynamic effects of a single cannula, single lumen system with tidal flows directed by alternating tubing occluders were studied in six newborn lambs to define optimal system performance and possible adverse hemodynamic effects. The ratio of drainage to infusion time was fixed at 2:1 to avoid excessive reinfusion pressures. Total length of the in/out cycle was varied from 2-6 sec, resulting in a cycling frequency of 30 to 10 cycles/min and a tidal volume of 17-50 ml. Systemic arterial, mixed venous, and pre and post oxygenator partial pressure of oxygen and oxygen saturation were measured. Recirculation, oxygen delivery, and effective bypass flow (total flow--recirculated flow) were calculated. With slower cycling frequency, recirculation progressively fell, and effective flow and oxygen delivery increased (p < 0.001 for each parameter across the cycle length). In these animals, oxygen delivery was limited by low oxygen carrying capacity (mean hemoglo...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
