Former Sinn Féin councillor Jonathan Dowdall begins giving evidence in the Gerard Hutch murder trial
Dowdall told the court that Gerard Hutch's brother Patsy asked him to use his republican contacts to act as mediators in the feud.He said he did so because "so many lives were at stake".Dowdall told the court that after the shooting - and after the Sunday World newspaper had published photos of the killing - he met Gerard Hutch in a park expecting to meet Patsy instead.He said Mr Hutch was not happy that David Byrne had been shot dead.
Dowdall has agreed to take part in the Irish witness protection programme in order to give evidence at the trial. He was present in court to hear a garda superintendent from the state's witness protection programme give evidence that his admission to the programme was not performance-related to the evidence he gives against Gerard Hutch and was "completely independent".On Friday, a barrister for the prosecution indicated that it could be mid-January at the earliest before a final decision is made on Dowdall's application to join the witness protection programme.

Parameters associated with successful weaning of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a systematic review - Critical CarePurpose Veno-arterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be used to restore organ perfusion in patients with cardiogenic shock until native heart recovery occurs. It may be challenging, however, to determine when patients can be weaned successfully from ECMO—surviving without requiring further mechanical support or heart transplant. We aimed to systematically review the medical literature to determine the biomarkers, hemodynamic and echocardiographic parameters associated with successful weaning of VA-ECMO in adults with cardiogenic shock and to present an evidence-based weaning algorithm incorporating key findings. Method We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, ProQuest, Google Scholars, Web of Science and the Grey literature for pertinent original research reports. We excluded studies limited to extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) as the neurological prognosis may significantly alter the decision-making process surrounding the device removal in this patient population. Studies with a mixed population of VA-ECMO for cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest were included. We excluded studies limited to patients in which ECMO was only used as a bridge to VAD or heart transplant, as such patients are, by definition, never “successfully weaned.” We used the Risk of Bias Assessment tool for Non-Randomized Studies. The study was registered on the International prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO CRD42020178641). Results We screened 14,578 records and included 47 that met our pre-specified criteria. Signs of lower initial severity of shock and myocardial injury, early recovery of systemic perfusion, left and right ventricular recovery, hemodynamic and echocardiographic stability during flow reduction trial and/or pump-controlled retrograde trial off predicted successful weaning. The most widely used parameter was the left ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral, an indicator of stroke volume. Most studies had a mode
