Simple new risk score model for adult cardiac extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: simple cardiac ECMO score. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Although the use of cardiac extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasing in adult patients, the field lacks understanding of associated risk factors. While standard intensive care unit risk scores such as SAPS II (simplified acute

ABSTRACT Background Femoral large‐bore vascular access is an important and constantly increasing technique in interventional treatment. Temporary circulatory support in complex and high‐risk indicated patients (CHIP) presents a challenge in terms of postinterventional access site closure.

Corrugated Features in Coronal-mass-ejections-driven Shocks: A Discussion on the Predisposition to Particle Acceleration [PDF]
The study of the acceleration of particles is an essential element of research in the heliospheric science. Here, we discuss the predisposition to the particle acceleration around coronal mass ejections (CMEs)-driven shocks with corrugated wave-like features.

Surgical embolectomy for acute massive pulmonary embolism: state of the art [PDF]
Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) is a severe condition that can potentially lead to death caused by right ventricular (RV) failure and the consequent cardiogenic shock.

Cardiogenic shock in a neonate [PDF]
We describe a case of a healthy male full-term neonate, 21 days old, admitted to the emergency room, presenting a severe cardiovascular collapse with an initial sinus rhythm. The first diagnostic hypothesis was of septic shock, having antibiotics, fluid resuscitation, inotropic drugs and ventilatory support started immediately.

Advancements in left ventricular assist devices to prevent pump thrombosis and blood coagulopathy
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD)‐related blood coagulopathy: Pump thrombosis is one of the most severe adverse events caused by LVADs. The contact of blood with artificial materials of LVAD pumps and cannulas triggers the coagulation cascade. Abstract Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices, such as left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are

Hypocalcemic cardiomyopathy presenting as cardiogenic shock
Hypocalcemia is a less known but treatable cause for dilated cardiomyopathy, leading to severe heart failure in children. Cardiogenic shock related to hypocalcemic cardiomyopathy is a rare event.

Fundamentals of Non-relativistic Collisionless Shock Physics: I. The Shock Problem [PDF]
The problem of collisionless shocks is posed as the problem of understanding how in a completely collisionless streaming high-temperature plasma shocks can develop at all, forming discontinuous transition layers of thickness much less than any collisional mean free path length. The history of shock research is briefly reviewed.

Conventional hemodynamic resuscitation may fail to optimize tissue perfusion: An observational study on the effects of dobutamine, enoximone, and norepinephrine in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock [PDF]
Aim: To investigate the effects of inotropic agents on parameters of tissue perfusion in patients with cardiogenic shock. Methods and Results: Thirty patients with cardiogenic shock were included.
