Background: Nephrotoxin exposure may worsen kidney injury and impair kidney recovery if continued in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI).
Objectives: This study aimed to determine if tiered implementation of a clinical decision support system (CDSS) would reduce nephrotoxin use in cardiac surgery patients with AKI.
Methods: We assessed patients admitted to the cardiac surgery intensive care unit at a tertiary care center from January 2020 to December 2021, and August 2022 to September 2023.
Multiple anthropogenic stressors degrade ecosystems globally. A key knowledge gap in multiple stressor research is how variability in stressor intensity (i.e.

Areas Covered: This article aims to classify nerve-sparing (NS) techniques in RARP based on an anatomical approach to the prostate. We have identified three main NS approaches in RARP: anterior, lateral, and posterior.
Y-modified perovskite-type oxides BaCe Y O ( = 0-0.30) were synthesised and used as supports for cobalt catalysts. The influence of yttrium content on the properties of the support and catalyst performance in the ammonia synthesis reaction was examined using PXRD, STEM-EDX, and sorption techniques (N physisorption, H-TPD, CO-TPD).

Cysterski).
