Gelatin is a widely used synthetic colloid resuscitation fluid. We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis of adverse effects in randomized and nonrandomized studies comparing gelatin with crystalloid or albumin for treatment of hypovolemia. Multiple databases were searched systematically without language restrictions until August 2015.

- Research on D-Dimer levels indicates their relevance in adult patients with suspected sepsis and associated clinical outcomes.
- The use of Acellix CD64 demonstrates its potential in enhancing infection diagnoses.
- High concentrations of phenylcarboxylic acids found in ICU patients may signify severity and influence neutrophil phagocytic activity.
Purpose: Gelatin is frequently used as a volume expander in critical care. Our goal was to investigate its safety.
Methods: Systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCT) in patients receiving gelatin for resuscitation in comparison to albumin or crystalloids.
Study of left ventricular pressure-volume relations has been limited by technical problems associated with left ventricular catheterization and angiography. A new approach using simultaneous recording of calibrated left ventricular apex cardiograms and echocardiographic M-mode dimensions was used to observe anesthetized dogs. The effect of various alterations in preload, afterload, and the inotropic state of the left ventricle on echo dimension-calibrated apex cardiogram plots sampled at 0.
