Teaching clinical reasoning is challenging, particularly in the time-pressured and complicated environment of the Intensive Care Unit. Clinical reasoning is a complex process in which one identifies and prioritizes pertinent clinical data to develop a hypothesis and a plan to confirm or refute that hypothesis. Clinical reasoning is related to and dependent on critical thinking skills, which are defined as one's capacity to engage in higher cognitive skills such as analysis, synthesis, and self-reflection. The authors review how an understanding of the cognitive psychological principles that contribute to effective clinical reasoning have led to strategies for teaching clinical reasoning in the ICU. With familiarity with System 1 and System 2 thinking, which represent intuitive versus analytical cognitive processing pathways, respectively, the clinical teacher can use this framework to identify cognitive patterns in clinical reasoning. In addition, the authors describe how internal and external factors in the clinical environment can affect students' and trainees' clinical reasoning abilities, as well as their capacity to understand and incorporate strategies for effective critical thinking into their practice. Utilizing applicable cognitive psychological theory, the relevant literature on teaching clinical reasoning is reviewed and specific strategies to effectively teach clinical reasoning and critical thinking in the ICU and other clinical settings are provided. Definitions, operational descriptions, and justifications for a variety of teaching interventions are discussed, including the 'one minute preceptor' model, the use of concept or mechanism maps, and cognitive de-biasing strategies.Background Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is among the most highly complex sarcoma types. Molecular cytogenetic studies have identified a high level of genomic complexity. Summary This review provides an update of the current research related to MFS, with particular emphasis on emerging mechanisms of tumorigenesis and their potential therapeutic impact. Many novel possible molecular markers have been identified, not only for prognostication in MFS, but also to serve as possible therapeutic targets, and thereby improve clinical outcomes. However, the molecular pathogenesis of MFS remains incompletely understood. Key Messages Patients suffering from advanced MFS might benefit from expanded molecular evaluation in order to detect specific expression profiles and identify drug-able targets. Moreover, immunotherapy represents an intriguingly perspective due to the presence of "T-cell inflamed" tumor microenvironment.Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is spreading at a rapid pace, and the World Health Organization declared it as pandemic on 11 March 2020. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is an "atypical" bacterial pathogen commonly known to cause respiratory illness in humans. The coinfection from SARS-CoV-2 and mycoplasma pneumonia is rarely reported in the literature to the best of our knowledge. We present a study in which 6 of 350 patients confirmed with COVID-19 were also diagnosed with M. pneumoniae infection. In this study, we described the clinical characteristics of patients with coinfection. Common symptoms at the onset of illness included fever (six [100%] patients); five (83.3%) patients had a cough, shortness of breath, and fatigue. The other symptoms were myalgia (66.6%), gastrointestinal symptoms (33.3%-50%), and altered mental status (16.7%). The laboratory parameters include lymphopenia, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase, interleukin-6, serum ferritin, and D-dimer in all six (100%) patients. The chest X-ray at presentation showed bilateral infiltrates in all the patients (100%). We also described electrocardiogram findings, complications, and treatment during hospitalization in detail. One patient died during the hospital course.Xyloglucan is a mucoadhesive polysaccharide which is extracted from the cell wall of vascular plants. Tamarind seeds are the abundant source of xyloglucan and commercially more popular. It is biocompatible, biodegradable, and nontoxic in nature. It is approved by the FDA for use as a food additive, stabilizing and thickening agent or gelling agent. Recently, many researchers are giving attention to xyloglucan for drug delivery through various routes and regeneration of the number of tissues. However, the findings of tissue regeneration and drug delivery in combination are not collected and represented in a simple and comprehensive way. The aim of this review is to find and represent these missing links. This review presents current researches on xyloglucan in drug delivery and regeneration of tissue.Oligosaccharides are important ingredients for food and feed products. There has therefore been much interest in the development of biocatalytic processes for their production. JAK inhibitor Irrespective of the oligosaccharide manufacturing route, that is, bottom-up synthesis or controlled depolymerization of a polysaccharide, isolating the product from the reaction mixture usually presents a considerable challenge. In order to establish a successful production process, development of an efficient (high-yielding, cost-effective) route of downstream processing (DSP) is key. Here, we review unit operations, and their corresponding separation principles, used in the production of oligosaccharides. Ligand-exchange and other forms of chromatography, frequently applied in set-ups for continuous process operation, are widely used. Membrane technologies, especially nanofiltration but also electrodialysis, have gained considerably in importance. Solvent extraction methods are specialized techniques in oligosaccharide production that have occasionally been considered. We use examples from oligosaccharide productions, in which the upstream part of the process has been well established (e.g., galacto- and fructo-oligosaccharides), to discuss advances in the materials used for separation and to describe salient process parameters for optimization of the respective DSP unit operation. The importance of unit operations assembly into an overall efficient DSP route is discussed. The applicability of these unit operations in the production of upcoming oligosaccharide products (e.g., xylo-oligosaccharides) is considered.
