Shear‐Responsive Red Blood Cell Carriers for Targeted Drug Delivery to Constricted Arteries
Red blood cells are harnessed as mechanoresponsive carriers that exploit the elevated shear stress of stenotic arteries to transiently open membrane pores and release encapsulated therapeutics selectively at sites of arterial narrowing. By coupling vascular hemodynamics with RBC membrane mechanics, a hemodynamically activated platform for localized ...

Echocardiography in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
In this era of using imaging as a diagnostic modality for a better prognosis, a lifesaving procedure such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), too needs good imaging modality for success. The placement of cannulas and the right patient selection for ECMO, all requires echocardiography.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly being employed in South African intensive care units for the management of patients with refractory hypoxaemia and for haemodynamic support, particularly following cardiothoracic procedures. ECMO is expensive, however, and there is a danger that this rescue modality may be abused or utilised ...

In this retrospective case series from a single database of pregnant women with cancer, seven were diagnosed with non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Chemotherapy and in some cases also biomarker‐directed therapy during pregnancy were associated with disease control allowing delivery closer to term and resulting in improved maternal outcomes compared ...
