Article Synopsis
- Metabolic acidosis in children can vary in severity and cause, and minor illnesses can trigger serious conditions like hypoglycemia and ketosis due to limited metabolic reserves.
- A study conducted from January 2014 to March 2015 reviewed cases of metabolic acidosis in young children, focusing on their causes, electrolyte levels, and mortality rates.
- Findings revealed dehydration from acute gastroenteritis and vomiting as common causes, with hypoglycemia in 28% of cases and an overall 2% mortality rate; older children with hypoglycemia tended to have shorter hospital stays and different diagnoses.
Background: A comprehensive mechanistic assessment of normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is an essential step toward identifying biomarkers to assess liver viability. Although some studies have evaluated the effect of NMP on inflammation markers, there are other key pathological mechanisms involved in ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) that have not yet been evaluated.
Methods: Eight human donor livers preserved by NMP were included to analyze IRI during preservation.
Article Synopsis
- * Conducted between March 2017 and August 2023, the research included ICG clearance tests on 71 DBDs, finding that ICG-PDR was the sole independent factor linked to graft rejection, establishing a critical cut-off point at 13.5%/min.
- * The findings were validated with an external group of 17 donors, suggesting that the ICG clearance test can serve as an effective screening method
Objective: To determine the epidemiology of post-operative complications among general surgery patients, inform their relationships with 30-day mortality, and determine the attributable fraction of death of each postoperative complication.
Background: The contemporary causes of post-operative mortality among general surgery patients are not well characterized.
Methods: VISION is a prospective cohort study of adult non-cardiac surgery patients across 28 centres in 14 countries, who were followed for 30 days after surgery.
