Article Synopsis
- Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a significant concern after liver transplantation, leading to longer ICU stays and decreased graft survival; intraoperative hypotension is a key modifiable risk factor.
- A study analyzed 1,153 adult liver transplant patients to determine the link between hypotension and AKI during the anhepatic and neohepatic phases, finding strong associations with lower Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) thresholds.
- Results suggest that maintaining MAP above 60 mmHg, particularly during the anhepatic phase, may decrease the risk of AKI and improve post-transplant kidney function.
Purpose: Allopurinol is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme xanthine oxidase used primarily in the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout. The aim of this study was to compare the analgesic efficacy of preanesthetic allopurinol versus placebo on postoperative pain and anxiety in patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy.
Methods: This is a prospective, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial.
The role of diabetes mellitus in the composition of coronary thrombi in patients presenting with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

February 2016
Background: Although diabetes mellitus (DM) is a predictor of poor outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), few studies have analyzed the impact of DM on the constituency of coronary thrombi.
Objectives: Comparing morphologic and histopathologic aspects of coronary thrombi in STEMI patients with and without DM who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
Methods: All consecutive patients with STEMI admitted to our institution between April 2010 and December 2012 (n = 1,548) were considered for inclusion.
