- Intracannula Thrombus Formation Associated With Dual Lumen ProtekDuo Cannula in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO): ECMO is used in severe respiratory failure and is becoming more popular with the introduction of dual lumen cannulas, which allow for increased patient mobility and fewer vascular access sites. However, single cannula flow can be limited by adequate inflow, requiring the need for additional cannulas.
- Could the lake ecosystems influence the pathogenicity of the SARS-COV-2 in the air: During the first 200 days of the Covid-19 pandemic in Poland, lower morbidity and mortality due to SARS-COV-2 infection were recorded in three regions covered by many small and large lakes.

- Gold and silver as safe havens: A fractional integration and cointegration analysis: This paper investigates whether gold and silver can be considered safe havens by examining their long-run linkages with 13 stock price indices. Using fractional integration/cointegration methods, the stochastic properties of the differential between gold/silver prices and 13 stock indices are analysed for two samples: one from January 2010 to December 2019, and one from January 2020 to June 2022 which includes the Covid-19 pandemic. The results suggest that gold and silver can be considered safe havens during times of market stress.
- One-Year Adverse Outcomes Among US Adults With Post-COVID-19 Condition vs Those Without COVID-19 in a Large Commercial Insurance Database: This study aims to quantify 1-year outcomes among individuals with post-COVID-19 condition (PCC) compared to a control group of individuals without COVID-19. It is a case-control study with a propensity score-matched control group, including medical records from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 from a large US health system.
