Optimizing patient blood management through intraoperative goal-directed fluid therapy protocol within an enhanced recovery after cardiac surgery program.

Objective: This study assessed the impact of intraoperative goal-directed fluid therapy integrated within an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery program on early coagulation parameters, transfusion requirements, hemoglobin levels, chest tube output, and hemodynamic profiles in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery.

Methods: In this single-center, retrospective ancillary analysis, patients who underwent elective cardiac procedures between 2015 and 2021 were stratified based on the implementation of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocol incorporating goal-directed fluid therapy. Propensity score matching generated 1026 well-balanced pairs.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the widespread freshwater limpet .

(Rowell, 1863) (Gastropoda: Hygrophila: Planorbidae) is a globally distributed freshwater limpet native to North America. Based on the specimens collected in Georgia, we aimed to sequence and annotate the mitochondrial genome of for the first time. The mt-genome spans 13526 bp containing 13 protein-coding, 2 ribosomal RNA, and 22 transfer RNA genes.

Investigation on the origin of the "nose" in the genus Megalothorax Willem, 1900 (Neelidae, Collembola) by the means of integrative taxonomy.

Megalothorax Willem, 1900 is a genus of Collembola that comprises 36 species to date. For a long time, its diversity was overlooked, but recent integrative taxonomic works allowed us to understand better their seemingly cryptic diversity. Among the oddities of the genus are the so-called "nosed" species, i.

Long-read sequencing and genome assembly of natural history collection samples and challenging specimens.

Museum collections harbor millions of samples, largely unutilized for long-read sequencing. Here, we use ethanol-preserved samples containing kilobase-sized DNA to show that amplification-free protocols can yield contiguous genome assemblies. Additionally, using a modified amplification-based protocol, employing an alternative polymerase to overcome PCR bias, we assemble the 3.

Multimodal analgesia with parasternal plane block protocol within an enhanced recovery after cardiac surgery program decreases opioid use.

Objective: This study investigated the efficacy of a multimodal analgesia (MMA) with an opioid-sparing strategy, incorporating a parasternal plane block (PPB) within a systematic standardized Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program for patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery.

Methods: From 2015 to 2021, 3153 patients underwent elective coronary artery bypass grafting and/or valve procedures. Patients were dichotomized by the presence or absence of an ERAS program including a perioperative MMA with an opioid-sparing approach and PPB protocols.

The genome sequence of the springtail, (O.Fabricius, 1783).

We present a genome assembly from an individual female (springtail; Arthropoda; Collembola; Symphypleona; Dicyrtomidae). The genome sequence is 582.0 megabases in span.

Mycotic Coronary Aneurysm Associated With Biventricular Fistula.

The incidence of coronary artery aneurysm is between 1.4% and 4.9% based on autopsy or angiographic series.

The hidden oases: unveiling trophic dynamics in Namib's fog plant ecosystem.

The Namib Desert is a hyperarid coastal desert where fog is a major moisture source. We hypothesized that the fog-harvesting grass Stipagrostis sabulicola establishes an important ecological niche, termed the "Fog-Plant-Oases" (FPOs), and serves as the primary carbon source for the invertebrate community. To determine this, we measured the natural variations of the stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes (δC and δN) of invertebrates as well as that of plant biomass and belowground detritus and estimated the contributions of the fog plants in their diets.

The MetaInvert soil invertebrate genome resource provides insights into below-ground biodiversity and evolution.

Soil invertebrates are among the least understood metazoans on Earth. Thus far, the lack of taxonomically broad and dense genomic resources has made it hard to thoroughly investigate their evolution and ecology. With MetaInvert we provide draft genome assemblies for 232 soil invertebrate species, representing 14 common groups and 94 families.

Revision of Megalothorax incertus Börner, 1903 reveals it to be another widespread Palearctic species of the genus (Collembola, Neelidae).

Megalothorax incertus Börner, 1903 is the second species of Megalothorax to have been discovered. The brevity of the original description left the species insufficiently defined. In this work, we redescribe M.

A new group of species of the genus Megalothorax (Collembola, Neelidae) with Gondwanan distribution, and introducing an open interactive identification key of Megalothorax species.

Megalothorax Willem, 1900 is a genus of Neelidae (Collembola) with worldwide distribution. Three new species are described here: Megalothorax anterolenis sp. nov.

An enhanced recovery programme significantly improves postoperative outcomes after surgical aortic valve replacement.

Objectives: Evidence regarding the benefits of an enhanced recovery after cardiac surgery (ERACS) programme is lacking. The aim of this study was to analyse the impact of a systematic standardized ERACS programme for patients undergoing isolated elective surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for aortic stenosis in terms of hospital mortality and morbidity, patient blood management and length of stay.

Methods: Patients undergoing isolated elective SAVR for aortic stenosis between 2015 and 2020 were identified from our database (n = 941).

Shotgun metagenomics of soil invertebrate communities reflects taxonomy, biomass, and reference genome properties.

Metagenomics - shotgun sequencing of all DNA fragments from a community DNA extract - is routinely used to describe the composition, structure, and function of microorganism communities. Advances in DNA sequencing and the availability of genome databases increasingly allow the use of shotgun metagenomics on eukaryotic communities. Metagenomics offers major advances in the recovery of biomass relationships in a sample, in comparison to taxonomic marker gene-based approaches (metabarcoding).

Two high-quality de novo genomes from single ethanol-preserved specimens of tiny metazoans (Collembola).

Background: Genome sequencing of all known eukaryotes on Earth promises unprecedented advances in biological sciences and in biodiversity-related applied fields such as environmental management and natural product research. Advances in long-read DNA sequencing make it feasible to generate high-quality genomes for many non-genetic model species. However, long-read sequencing today relies on sizable quantities of high-quality, high molecular weight DNA, which is mostly obtained from fresh tissues.
