History of iodinated contrast media hypersensitivity linked to MRI contrast risk

People with a history of allergic-like reactions to iodinated contrast media, which is used in a variety of X-ray-based procedures, such as CT and angiography, are susceptible to similar reactions from commonly used MRI contrast agents, according to a large, eight-year study published in the journal Radiology.

Research provides a stronger connection between autoantibody formation and clotting in COVID-19

Scientists have discovered that "rogue" antibodies found circulating in the blood of COVID-19 patients have the potential to cause cells to lose their resistance to clotting.

Dual access veno-arterial approach increases mortality rate for babies in respiratory failure put on ECMO

The current trend of using two cannulas to place most newborns in respiratory failure on life-sustaining ECMO, one in the right internal jugular vein and a second in the right common carotid artery, rather than a single cannula in the right internal jugular, increases mortality rates for these babies, investigators report.

Study reveals mechanisms associated with severe blood clotting in COVID-19 patients

After studying blood samples from 244 patients hospitalized for COVID-19, a group of researchers, including those who work at the National Institutes of Health, identified “rogue antibodies” that correlate with severe illness and may help explain mechanisms associated with severe blood clotting.
