    Abstract Abstract Barium doping effect on the activity and stability of nickel‐based catalysts, supported on yttria‐stabilized zirconia (Ni‐YZr), was investigated in dry reforming of methane. Catalysts were characterized by several techniques (nitrogen sorption, X‐ray diffraction [XRD], scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X‐ray, transmission electron microscopy [TEM], thermogravimetric analysis [TGA], temperature programmed oxidation, CO2‐TPD, H2‐TPR) and were tested in a fixed‐bed reactor at 800°C and 42,000 mL/h gcat. Barium played a crucial role in enhancing catalyst reducibility and CO2 adsorption at high temperatures, as indicated by the activity and stability of the Ni‐YZr catalyst. The addition of 4.0 wt% of barium appeared to be the optimal loading, allowing for CH4 conversion of 82%, which remained constant for 7 h of reaction, compared with 72% of barium‐unpromoted Ni‐YZr at 800°C. TEM images of the spent catalysts revealed the formation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes on all samples. The TGA analysis showed, however, that an increase in baria loading significantly reduced the coke formation amount, indicating the inhibition of coke formation and the enhancement of the catalytic activity. Such improvement in activity and stability was attributed to the incorporation of barium into YZr support, as revealed by XRD analysis, which inhibited the sintering of the catalysts support.

    Abstract Objectives: Although respiratory failure is the most common feature in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), abdominal organ involvement is likewise frequently observed. To investigate visceral and thoracic circulation and abdominal organ damage in COVID-19 patients.
    Materials and methods: A monocentric observational study was carried on. In COVID-19 patients affected by acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (n = 31) or mild pneumonia (n = 60) thoracoabdominal circulation was evaluated using Doppler-ultrasound and computed tomography. The study also included non-COVID-19 patients affected by ARDS (n = 10) or portal hypertension (n = 10) for comparison of the main circulatory changes.
    Results: Patients affected by COVID-19 ARDS showed hyperdynamic visceral flow and increased portal velocity, hepatic artery resistance-index, and spleen diameter relative to those with mild-pneumonia (p = 0.001). Splanchnic circulatory parameters significantly correlated with the main respiratory indexes (p < 0.001) and pulmonary artery diameter (p = 0.02). The chest and abdominal vascular remodeling pattern of COVID-19 ARDS patients resembled the picture observed in the PH group, while differed from that of the non-COVID ARDS group. A more severe COVID-19 presentation was associated with worse liver dysfunction and enhanced inflammatory activation; these parameters both correlated with abdominal (p = 0.04) and chest imaging measures (p = 0.03).
    Conclusion: In COVID-19 ARDS patients there are abdominal and lung vascular modifications that depict a portal hypertension-like pattern. The correlation between visceral vascular remodeling, pulmonary artery enlargement, and organ damage in these critically ill patients is consistent with a portal hyperlfow-like syndrome that could contribute to the peculiar characteristics of respiratory failure in these patients.
    Clinical relevance statement: our data suggest that the severity of COVID-19 lung involvement is directly related to the development of a portal hyperflow-like syndrome. These observations should help in defining the need for a closer monitoring, but also to develop dedicated therapeutic strategies.

    Abstract Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) represents one of the most advanced respiratory support for patients suffering from severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. During vv-ECMO a certain amount of extracorporeal oxygenated blood can flow back from the reinfusion into the drainage cannula without delivering oxygen to the patient. Detection and quantification of this dynamic phenomenon, defined recirculation, are critical to optimize the ECMO efficiency. Our study aimed to measure the recirculation fraction (RF) using a thermodilution technique. We built an in vitro circuit to simulate patients undergoing vv-ECMO (ECMO flow: 1.5, 3, and 4.5 L/min) with different cardiac output, using a recirculation bridge to achieve several known RFs (from 0% to 50%). The RF, computed as the ratio of the area under temperature-time curves (AUC) of the drainage and reinfusion, was significantly related to the set RF (AUC ratio (%) = 0.979 × RF (%) + 0.277%, p < 0.0001), but it was not dependent on tested ECMO and cardiac output values. A Bland-Altman analysis showed an AUC ratio bias (precision) of -0.21% for the overall data. Test-retest reliability showed an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.993. This study proved the technical feasibility and computation validity of the applied thermodilution technique in computing vv-ECMO RF.
