Association between the mean perfusion pressure and the risk of acute kidney injury in critically ill patients with sepsis: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Mean perfusion pressure (MPP) has recently emerged as a potential biomarker for personalized management of tissue perfusion in critically ill patients. However, its association with the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in septic patients and the optimal MPP range remain uncertain. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationship between MPP and AKI in critically ill patients with sepsis.

Nursing Care in Intensive Care Unit of a Patient Infected With Balamuthia Mandrillaris After Renal Transplantation: A Case Report.

An uncommon and dangerous disease with a fatality rate of more than 95% is caused by the amoeba known as Balamuthia mandrillaris. Here, we discuss the treatment of a patient who underwent a renal transplant and contracted the amoeba B. mandrillaris.

Association between geriatric nutritional risk index and 28 days mortality in elderly patients with sepsis: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: There is a significant controversy surrounding the impact of the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) on mortality among elderly septic patients. This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the association between GNRI at admission and 28 days mortality in elderly septic patients.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data collected from the MIMIC IV database between 2009 and 2019, which included 2,834 septic patients aged 65 years and above.
