EMERGING CONCEPTS IN HEART FAILURE MANAGEMENT AND TREATMENT: CIRCULATORY SUPPORT WITH EXTRACORPOREAL MEMBRANE OXYGENATION (ECMO)

Emerging concepts in heart failure management and treatment: circulatory support with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)

Circulatory support with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is being increasingly used in several critical situations but evidence of its impact on outcomes is inconsistent.Understanding of the specific indications and appropriate timing of implantation of this technology might lead to improved results.Indeed, the line between success and f

Design, development and evaluation of rK28-based point-of-care tests for improving rapid diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis.

BACKGROUND: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is diagnosed by microscopic confirmation of the parasite in bone marrow, spleen or here lymph node aspirates.These procedures are unsuitable for rapid diagnosis of VL in field settings.The development of rK39-based rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) revolutionized diagnosis of VL by offering high sensitivity and sp
