Fine particulate matter (PM|) is an airborne pollutant associated with negative acute and chronic human health outcomes. Although the majority of PM| research has focused on outdoor exposures, people spend the majority of their time indoors, where PM| of outdoor origin can penetrate. In this work, we measured indoor PM| continuously for one year in

Background:Right ventricular failure is an underrecognized consequence of COVID-19 pneumonia. Those with severe disease are treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) but with poor outcomes. Concomitant right ventricular assist device (RVAD) may be beneficial.Methods:A retrospective analysis of intensive care unit patients admitted wit
