Optimizing particle shape for confined microchannels can boost transport efficiency.

Prolate or oblate spheroids outperform spheres under certain conditions, guiding designs in microfluidics and targeted delivery.

#Albumin Should Be Remembered When Patients With #SepticShock Are Resuscitated

“Although no significant difference in 28-day mortality rate or 90-day mortality rate was observed between the use of albumin and #crystalloids, #colloids appeared to be more effective than crystalloids in stabilizing hemodynamic end points”

I couldn't agree more. Sometimes you have to find what to do at the moment. It is safe and may help.
