Article Synopsis
- A 66-year-old woman who had endometrial cancer found out her headaches got worse after 4 years since her surgery.
- Doctors discovered she had a mass in her brain that was pressing on important areas, causing problems with her eyesight and walking.
- Instead of doing surgery on the brain mass, they decided to treat it with special radiation because her cancer had spread to other parts of her body.
Purpose: The 1-year mortality rate of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on renal replacement therapy (RRT) is 20-25% comparable to many cancers. Studies have shown that cancer patients commonly overestimate their likelihood of survival relative to their physicians. It is unclear if this translates into other terminal illnesses.

This study addressed that gap in our knowledge by establishing a reference range for BNP levels during the first two weeks of life in preterm infants without a PDA.
Methods: We enrolled 36 preterm infants between 24 and 32 weeks of gestation in this prospective, noninterventional study.
