Continuous modes of renal replacement therapy (CRRT) are increasingly being utilized in the intensive care unit. The removal of cytokines and other inflammatory proteins during ultrafiltration may be responsible for some of the beneficial effects of CRRT. We used proteomic tools to identify proteins found in the ultrafiltrate from a patient with acute renal failure.

- Low genetic variation in large mammalian populations can result from factors like small effective population size, historical bottlenecks, and social behaviors.
- Killer whales are abundant and social but show reduced genetic diversity, with no consistent geographical pattern of variation.
- The limited genetic variation in some killer whale populations likely stems from strict matrilineal structures and may also hint at a historical bottleneck affecting worldwide diversity.
