The effect of smoke inhalation injury on fluid requirement was assessed retrospectively. A total of 131 burn patients were classified into two groups: burn patients with smoke inhalation injury (Group IB: 73 patients) and burn patients without inhalation injury (Group B: 58 patients). Fluid resuscitation was commenced according to the Parkland formula and the infusion rate was modified to meet the main resuscitation goal of an hourly urine output of 1.0 to 2.0 ml/kg. Regression analyses were performed on the volume of fluid administered during the initial 24 hours after injury by burn size for each group. The linear equations obtained were Y (ml/kg/24 hrs) = 71.0 + 5.08 x %TBSA (Group IB) and Y = 39.7 + 5.14 x %TBSA (Group B). A substantial effect of inhalation injury on fluid requirement was speculated to be reflected in a y intercept difference of about 30 ml/kg/24 hrs. Thus, an increase in the fluid requirement related to the presence of inhalation injury was found to be independent and additional to burn injury.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) incidence after neurosurgical operations has been reported as 10-14%. The literature regarding the incidence of nosocomial acute kidney disease (AKD) following neurosurgery is scarce. This retrospective, single-center, observational study aimed to assess the impact of different anaesthetics on development of postoperative AKI and persistent AKD in neurosurgical patients.

Hemorrhagic shock is a significant cause of trauma-related mortality. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a less-invasive aortic occlusion maneuver for severe hemorrhagic shock but potentially inducing oxidative stress injuries. In an animal model, this study investigated hydrogen gas inhalation therapy's potential to mitigate post-REBOA ischemia-reperfusion injuries (IRIs).

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide, characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitations resulting from small airway injury, bronchial wall thickening, and hypersecretion of mucus. Current pharmacological interventions are ineffective in reversing these airflow limitations; In our study, we investigated the potential role of patchouli essential oil (PEO) in the treatment of COPD and its underlying molecular mechanisms, both in vitro and in vivo. To establish a cigarette smoke-induced COPD mice model, we exposed the mice to cigarette smoke (CS) and administered nasal drip of lipopolysaccharides (LPS).
