INDEPENDENT LUNG VENTILATION WITH USE OF A DOUBLE-LUMEN ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE FOR REFRACTORY HYPOXEMIA AND SHOCK COMPLICATING SEVERE UNILATERAL PNEUMONIA: A CASE REPORT

Background: The indications for independent lung ventilation (ILV) in critical care settings have not been fully clarified, especially because extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is being used increasingly in cases of severe respiratory failure.Case report: A 90-year-old man presented with severe unilateral pneumonia, and despite conventiona

Abstract Background Betanodaviruses are the causative agents of Viral Encephalopathy and Retinopathy (VER).To date, more than 50 species have proved to be susceptible and among them, those found in genus Epinephelus are highly represented.Clinical disease outbreaks are generally characterized by typical nervous signs and significant mortalities mai

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), in particular multirotors, are becoming the de facto tool for aerial sensing and remote inspection.In large industrial facilities, a UAV can transmit an online video stream to inspect difficult-to-access structures, such as chimneys, deposits, and towers.However, the communication range is limited, constraining the

The Chengdu ma goat is an excellent local breed in China.As one of the breeds listed in the National List of Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources Protection, the protection of its germplasm resources is particularly important.However, the existing breeding and protection methods for them are relatively simple, due to the weak technical force and

The abstract roller-compacted concrete (RCC) is a zero slump concrete comprising the same materials as that of conventional concrete with different proportions.The RCC must be compacted to reach its final form.The effects of hydration and aggregate interlock on its strength are considerable.For similar binder contents, the compressive strength of t
