Soluble C5b‐9 (sC5b‐9) in Pediatrics—A Clinical Assessment

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
The sc5b9 assay is a simple laboratory‐developed test that can be used in specific patients to monitor the course of disease, severity, or response to therapy. Future studies using this assay, which show excellent adaptability to a clinical laboratory, will reveal the multiple uses of testing for complement activation.

Pre‐operative transcranial Doppler ultrasound assessment of cerebral collateral circulation in children undergoing veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or cardiac surgery

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
A pre‐cannulation survey of the circle of Willis (CoW) using transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound was implemented to assess cerebral collateral circulation in children undergoing VA ECMO or cardiac surgery with cervical cannulation. The technique, in use since 2019, employs high‐end ultrasound platforms to assess brain morphology, haemorrhage and ...

Deep Vein Thrombosis in Critically Ill Patients with COVID‐19 Pneumonia

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives The risk of major venous thromboembolism (VTE) among patients with COVID‐19 is high but varies with disease severity. Estimate the incidence of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in critically ill hospitalized patients with COVID‐19, validate the Wells score for DVT diagnosis, and determine patients' prognosis.
