HMGB-1 as a predictor of major bleeding requiring activation of a massive transfusion protocol in severe trauma by Michal Frelich, Marek Bebej, Jan Pavlíček, Filip Burša, Vojtěch Vodička, Zdeněk Švagera, Adéla Kondé, Ondřej Jor, Markéta Bílená, Tereza Romanová, Peter Sklienka

“…Among those patients with massive bleeding requiring MTP activation, we found significantly higher levels of HMGB-1 compared to patients without MTP activation (median [interquartile range]: 84.3 µg/L [34.2–145.9] vs. 21.1 µg/L [15.7–30.4]; p < 0.001). HMGB-1 level showed good performance in predicting MTP activation, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.84 (95% CI 0.75–0.93) and a cut-off value of 30.55 µg/L. …”

Derivation and Verification of the Relationship between Ablation Index and Baseline Impedance by Zheng Cai, Sainan Li, Qi Zhang, Chenyuan Wang, Zhen Jin, Ming Fu, Shuai Zhang, Ming Liang, Zulu Wang, Yaling Han

“…Methods. (1) Keeping the AIs relatively constant, the lesion dimensions in different baseline impedances were studied. (2) According to Joule's law, Q = I2RT, keeping the current (I) unchanged, the powers corresponding to different baseline impedances can be obtained. Under different baseline impedances and corresponding powers, the swine hearts were ablated for 30 s in simulated human circumstances. …”

Effect of different hormonal protocols with timed AI on clinical signs of estrus and conception rates in Bulgarian Murrah buffaloes by Radena Nenova

“…At the same time, in the buffalo cows, the differences are lower, the Ovsynch pro- tocol having a relatively low pregnancy rate (38.3%), Ovsyn- ch+PRID – highest (45.0%), and Presynch/Ovsynch – lowest (30.4%). The season had no significant effect, but it is note- worthy that there are even higher conception rates after out-of- season TAI than in-season – a very well-expressed difference under Ovsynch+PRID (50.0% vs. 37.5%) and smaller under Presynch/Ovsynch (37.5% vs 28.9%) and Ovsynch (40.9% vs 36.0%). …”
