Blood flow but not cannula positioning influences the efficacy of Veno-Venous ECMO therapy
Scientific Reports, 2022 Despite being vital in treating intensive-care patients with lung failure, especially COVID-19 patients, Veno-Venous Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation does not exploit its full potential, leaving ample room for improvement. The objective of this study

Geologic, seasonal, and atmospheric predictors of indoor home radon values
Environmental Research: Health, 2023 Exposure to tobacco smoke and radon cause lung cancer. Radioactive decay of naturally occurring uranium in bedrock produces radon. Seasonality, bedrock type, age of home, and topography have been associated with indoor radon, but the research is mixed ...
