Heart–Lung Interactions in Gas Exchange: From Physiology to Pathophysiology
This review outlines factors compromising the efficiency of alveolar gas exchange. Perturbation in lung fluid balance from capillary and alveolar sources is considered. Safety factors against edema formation are presented. A model is presented to describe gas diffusion limitation considering pulmonary fibrosis, lung resection, heart failure syndromes ...

Mag‐SELEX identified the first aptamer targeting migrasome, offering a potential ligand for their identification and detection in clinical samples. The magnetic aptamer probe, characterised by high specificity and rapid recovery, provides a simple, rapid, and economical method for elucidating migrasome mechanisms in disease and facilitating ...

Mycotoxin data in Brazilian milk and dairy products over 20 years indicate aflatoxin M1 as the most frequent, although ochratoxin A, fumonisins and deoxynivalenol were also found in some studies. These data underscore the importance of control measures to reduce dietary mycotoxins in Brazilian dairy feed and avoid their residues in milk.

An Unusual Case of Resistant Hepatic Hydrothorax Treated with Octreotide Infusion
Hepatic hydrothorax is an uncommon clinical problem observed in patients with end stage liver disease and portal hypertension. The pathogenesis of pleural effusion in this condition is thought to involve the movement of ascitic fuid across diaphragmatic ...

Abstract Background Mortality following transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement remains a critical concern. Traditional scoring systems, such as the Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease (MELD) and MELD‐Na, as well as the newer Modified TIPS‐Score (MOTS) and Freiburg Index of Post‐TIPS Survival (FIPS), have shown potential for ...

Diagnosis and Management of Hepatic Hydrothorax
Hepatic hydrothorax is a pleural effusion (typically ≥500 mL) that develops in patients with cirrhosis and/or portal hypertension in the absence of other causes. In most cases, hepatic hydrothorax is seen in patients with ascites. However, ascites is not
