PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA IN A POSTPARTUM PATIENT WITH CARDIOGENIC SHOCK FROM EPICARDIAL VASOSPASM NECESSITATING MECHANICAL CIRCULATORY SUPPORT

Pheochromocytoma in a Postpartum Patient With Cardiogenic Shock From Epicardial Vasospasm Necessitating Mechanical Circulatory Support

A 25-year-old woman presented with pheochromocytoma crisis and cardiogenic shock.Her ejection fraction was severely reduced at 10%, and she needed venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for hemodynamic support.Coronary angiography demonstrated diffuse coronary vasospasm as the underlying mechanism for her cardiogenic shock.Her e

A spectrum of free software tools for processing the VCF variant call format: vcflib, bio-vcf, cyvcf2, hts-nim and slivar.

Since its introduction in 2011 the variant call format (VCF) has been widely adopted for processing DNA and RNA variants in practically all population studies-as well as in somatic and germline mutation studies.The VCF format can represent single nucleotide variants, multi-nucleotide variants, insertions and deletions, and simple structural variant

The role of low air pressure in the variation of negative corona-generated space charge in a rod to plane electrode

The corona-generated space charge may vary in different air pressures, and the quantitative law between the corona-generated space charge density and air pressure has never been investigated.This work utilised computational approaches to explore the role of air pressure in the variation of negative corona-generated space charge.A negative fluid mod
