Less Fluid Not Better for Septic Shock
A more restrictive protocol for IV fluids didn’t reduce mortality for adults in the ICU receiving treatment for septic shock, the CLASSIC trial showed. Restricting IV crystalloid fluids to small boluses only for severe hypoperfusion, to replace documented fluid losses, or for dehydration and electrolyte deficiency for patients who couldn’t take fluids enterally yielded a […]
What Happens When You Have Mononucleosis? Mono Symptoms, Treatment
Once infected with mononucleosis, the virus may remain dormant in the throat and body fluids for the rest of your life. Mononucleosis is a contagious viral infection usually caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). It typically affects adolescents and young adults and is characterized by symptoms such as fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and […]
Observation of quasi-equilibrium phase coexistence in supercritical fluids
A long-lasting non-equilibrium phase coexistence in supercritical fluids has been observed by a Korean research team. A team of researchers led by Professor Gunsu S. Yun from POSTECH’s Department of Physics and the Division of Advanced Nuclear Engineering and Professor Dong Eon Kim of the Department of Physics and Max Planck POSTECH/Korea Research Initiative (MPK) […]
