Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the timing of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in patients on extracorporeal life support (ECLS) to improve the use of the head ultrasound in the detection of ICH. A review was conducted of all neonatal ECLS patients at the neonatal intensive care nursery at Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky, from May, 1985 through November, 1994 to establish a study group of infants in whom an ICH developed while on ECLS. Thirty infants who had an ICH (excluding subarachnoid hemorrhage and infarction) on ECLS were included in the study. Data were collected that included patients demographics, age at initiation of ECLS, duration of ECLS, type of ECLS support (venoarterial or venovenous), oxygenation index and last arterial blood gas before ECLS, hours of ECLS before ICH, and grade of ICH. ICH occurred in 9.9% of the neonatal patients requiring ECLS. These included 8 infants with a Grade I bleed, 1 infant with a Grade II, 4 infants with a Grade III, and 17 infants with a Grade IV. Ten of the 30 patients had sepsis as their primary diagnosis, and these infants were more likely to have an ICH while on ECLS compared to nonseptic infants (p < 0.02). The Kaplan-Meier curve showed that 50% of ICHs oc...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.
