The Trajectory and Structural Integrity of Aerially Deployed Manufactured Baits for Canid Control
1 Introduction Aerial baiting is undertaken in 28 different countries (Taggart et al. 2023) to achieve a range of outcomes. Lethal control of pest animals is a common goal of aerial baiting programs (e.g., Lewis 1973; Fleming et al. 2000; Nugent et al. 2019), but other objectives include the targeted distribution of vaccinations (Johnston et al. 1988; Nugent et al. 2016), delivery of reproductive disruptors (Brockerhoff et al. 2012), or for the treatment of parasites (Taggart et al. 2023).
Life after death: We need a new definition of death
People die in many ways, but in medicine there are only two reasons a person can be declared dead: Either the heart has stopped or the brain has ceased to function, even if the heart is still beating. A person may serve as an organ donor only after being declared dead. (Until then, transplant surgeons are not allowed even to interact with a dying patient.) This commonsensical rule underpins organ donation in the United States and many other countries.
Opinion | Donor Organs Are Too Rare. We Need a New Definition of Death. Original

Current status of ECMO for massive pulmonary embolism
Introduction The development of pulmonary embolism continues to be a leading cause of preventable cardiovascular mortality and morbidity (1). Large-volume emboli within the pulmonary arterial tree result in sudden onset shock and cardiac arrest. This cohort accounts for approximately 5% of patients diagnosed with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) (2).
One-Year Outcomes With Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support for Severe COVID-19
Abstract Background Severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can cause acute respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation. Venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used in patients in whom conventional mechanical ventilatory support has failed. To date, published data have focused on survival from ECMO and survival to discharge.
Two cases of acute endocarditis misdiagnosed as COVID‐19 infection
1 INTRODUCTION The COVID‐19 pandemic caused by the SARS‐CoV‐2 virus presents new diagnostic challenges including differentiating COVID‐19 infection from other diagnostic entities. Both COVID‐19 infection and acute endocarditis may present with hypoxic respiratory failure, fever, and elevated inflammatory biomarkers. The task of distinguishing the two is complicated by the complexities of interpreting SARS‐CoV‐2 RT‐PCR test results.
