Vorticity‐Facilitated Platelet Aggregation: a High Expansion‐Ratio Stenotic Microfluidic Platform Unravels the Role of Complex Flow Dynamics in Arterial Thrombosis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study reveals how vorticity—a swirling flow pattern—enhances platelet aggregation and thrombus formation in high‐shear conditions. Using a custom microfluidic model, it is shows that vorticity promotes vWF–GPIbα interactions and calcium signaling, providing new insights into thrombosis mechanobiology and informing safer blood‐contacting medical ...

Simple new risk score model for adult cardiac extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: simple cardiac ECMO score. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BACKGROUND: Although the use of cardiac extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasing in adult patients, the field lacks understanding of associated risk factors. While standard intensive care unit risk scores such as SAPS II (simplified acute

The Role of rescue therapies in the treatment of severe ARDS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
ARDS is characterized by a non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema with bilateral chest radiograph opacities and hypoxemia refractory to oxygen therapy. It is a common cause of admission to the ICU due to hypoxemic respiratory failure requiring mechanical ...

Antifouling Surface‐Attached Hydrogel Nanocoatings Redefined: Green Solvent‐Based, Degradable, and High‐Performance Protection Against Foulants

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
An ultrathin surface‐attached hydrogel coating is introduced that, unlike the best antifouling coatings so far, consists of hydrophilic, non‐charged, green solvent‐based monomers. It effectively renders the surfaces of medical devices stealth toward proteins, a clinical strain of MRSA and blood while offering on‐demand degradability to regenerate the ...

Tailored 3D Lattice Microstructures for Enhanced Functionality in Blood‐Gas Exchange

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Common hollow fiber structures are associated with inhomogeneous flow, leading to many complications in the medical application of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Using locally adapted lattice structures, the overall flow distribution can be manipulated.

Adverse events associated with monoclonal antibodies used for treatment of COVID‐19: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 91, Issue 5, Page 1306-1321, May 2025.
Aims This review aimed to synthesise the evidence related to the incidence of serious and non‐serious adverse events with the use of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) among COVID‐19 patients. Methods Databases were searched from January 2020 to September 2023 for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that used mAbs for the treatment of COVID‐19 regardless of ...
