ASSOCIATION BETWEEN DYNAMIC FLUCTUATIONS IN TRIIODOTHYRONINE LEVELS AND PROGNOSIS AMONG CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS WITHIN COMPREHENSIVE INTENSIVE CARE UNITS

Association between dynamic fluctuations in triiodothyronine levels and prognosis among critically ill patients within comprehensive intensive care units

ObjectiveDecrease in free thyroid hormone T3 (FT3) can be used as an independent prognostic indicator for the risk of death in ICUs.However, FT3 as a predictive marker is hindered by its accuracy.The study introduces the concept of dynamic FT3 data as a means to bolster the value of FT3 as a prognostic tool.Therefore, the aim of this study is to in

A detailed observation of the ejection and retraction of defense tissue acontia in sea anemone (Exaiptasia pallida)

Acontia, located in the gastrovascular cavity of anemone, are thread-like tissue containing numerous stinging cells which serve as a unique defense tissue against predators of the immobile acontiarian sea anemone.Although its morphology and biological functions, such as defense and digestion, have been studied, the defense behavior and the specific
