Mechanical and biological properties of poly- ε-caprolactone membrane for pleurodesis: A preclinical study in pigs
CONCLUSION: This study is the pioneering effort to present long-term findings regarding the mechanical and biological properties of the PCL membrane in an in vivo animal model. The membrane demonstrated better adhesion ability than that of traditional abrasion and showed reassuring biocompatibility in both the pig model, suggesting its potential as treatment for patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax. Further clinical studies are needed to support these observations.PMID:38383169 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2024.01.016 (Source: J Formos Med Assoc)

Neurological manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children in Taiwan: A cross-section, multicenter study
CONCLUSIONS: Neurological complications are common in pediatric COVID-19.
