A Universal and Versatile Zwitterionic Coating for Blood‐Contacting Catheters with Long Lengths and Complex Geometries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A universal and versatile zwitterion coating strategy is developed for blood‐contacting catheters with long lengths and complex geometries. The coating exhibits near‐zero fouling, superior anticoagulation, and selective biocapturing properties while maintaining excellent stability under dynamic blood flow.

A Preliminary Approach for Learning Relational Policies for the Management of Critically Ill Children [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
The increased use of electronic health records has made possible the automated extraction of medical policies from patient records to aid in the development of clinical decision support systems. We adapted a boosted Statistical Relational Learning (SRL) framework to learn probabilistic rules from clinical hospital records for the management of ...

Structure Evolution of Graphene Oxide during Thermally Driven Phase Transformation: Is the Oxygen Content Really Preserved? [PDF]

PLoS One, 2014, 9 (11): e111908, 2014
A mild annealing procedure was recently proposed for the scalable enhancement of graphene oxide (GO) properties with the oxygen content preserved, which was demonstrated to be attributed to the thermally driven phase separation. In this work, the structure evolution of GO with mild annealing is closely investigated. It reveals that in addition to phase

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

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Predicting Mortality Risk in Viral and Unspecified Pneumonia to Assist Clinicians with COVID-19 ECMO Planning [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Respiratory complications due to coronavirus disease COVID-19 have claimed tens of thousands of lives in 2020. Many cases of COVID-19 escalate from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) to viral pneumonia to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to death.

Oxygen Potential Transition in Mixed Conducting Oxide Electrolyte [PDF]

Acta Materialia 156 (2018): 399-410, 2018
It is generally assumed that oxygen potential in a thin oxide electrolyte follows a linear distribution between electrodes. Jacobsen and Mogensen have shown, however, that this is not the case for thin zirconia membranes in solid oxide electrochemical cells. Here we demonstrate that there is a ubiquitous oxygen potential transition rooted in the p-type/

The tacrolimus concentration‐to‐dose ratio is associated with kidney function in heart transplant recipients

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Heart transplantation (HT) is frequently complicated by chronic kidney disease, of which tacrolimus‐related nephrotoxicity is an important cause. In kidney and liver transplant recipients, fast tacrolimus metabolism (defined as a low concentration‐to‐dose [C0/D] ratio), negatively affects kidney function.
