Association Between Geomagnetic Activity and Unsuccessful Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) represent a significant global health challenge, with a survival rate <10%. Recent research has demonstrated that geomagnetic activity (GMA) can disrupt the circadian rhythm. Therefore, GMA may affect patient outcomes after an OHCA event wherein resuscitation is attempted.

Predictors of Brain Infarction in Pediatric Patients During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Artificial Organs, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 909-916, June 2026.
In 179 pediatric ECMO patients, brain infarction (BI) occurred in 28% and was linked to markedly higher 30‐day mortality. VA ECMO mode (vs. VV) and higher pre‐ECMO arterial lactate independently predicted BI, supporting standardized neuro‐monitoring and liberal early brain CT, especially for children on VA ECMO.
