Background: Compared to the conventional anion gap, the albumin-corrected anion gap (ACAG) offers a more precise measure of acid-base imbalance, providing superior prognostic insight. However, the prognostic relevance of ACAG in individuals of atrial fibrillation (AF) remains insufficiently explored. This research seeks to evaluate the correlation between ACAG levels and mortality risk in individuals with AF.

Background: The relationship between albumin-corrected anion gap (ACAG) and in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients with COPD remains unclear.
Objective: This study investigated the association between ACAG levels and the risk of in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients with COPD.
Design: A retrospective cohort study.

Objective: To assess variability among data elements collected among existing neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) data registries worldwide and to determine the need for future harmonization of standard common data elements.
Study Design: This was a cross-sectional study of data elements collected from current or recently employed HIE registry data forms. Registries were identified by literature search and email inquiries to investigators worldwide.

(1) Background: In recent years, the increasing emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens in pig farms has begun to pose a severe threat to animal welfare and, by extension, public health. In this study, we aimed to explore the biological characteristics and genomic features of bacteriophages that are capable of lysing porcine multidrug-resistant , which was isolated from sewage. In doing so, we provided a reference for phage therapies that can be used to treat multidrug-resistant strains.

Following severe burns, the predominant concern is significant fluid loss, for which balanced crystalloid solutions are widely recommended as the primary intravenous resuscitation fluids. However, current literature lacks a clear distinction among various buffered crystalloid types that might be most effective in the early resuscitation of burn patients. This retrospective study was conducted to identify the optimal resuscitation fluid for major burns and to assess the clinical outcomes associated with isotonic crystalloid solutions compared to hypotonic crystalloids, specifically in terms of urinary output, acid-base balance, and electrolyte stability.
