Original ECMO devices were as large as a vehicle and difficult to operate. Over the past several years technological advances have allowed ECMO machines to become smaller, about the size of a large cardiac monitor weighing just over 25 pounds, and even portable enough to fit in most ambulances. As the size of the ECMO machine has shrunk, the role of ECMO has expanded rapid...περισσότερα »

Abstract Natural channelrhodopsins with strictly anion selectivity and high unitary conductance have been recently discovered in the cryptophyte alga *Guillardia theta*.

Abstract A substitute for the organotins has been the use of metal pyrithiones, principally zinc and copper (CuPT) as antifouling agents. Zebrafish, Danio rerio, embryos were exposed after fertilization to increasing concentrations of CuPT (2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 32 and 64 μg/L) for 24 h.

Abstract The first step in xenobiotic detoxification in aquatic invertebrates is mainly governed by the cytochrome P450 mixed function oxidase system. The ability to measure cytochrome P450 activity provides an important tool to understand macroinvertebrates’ responses to chemical stressors. However, measurements of P450 activity in small aquatic invertebrates have had variable success and a well […]
