Objective: The aim of the study was to estimate the differences in hemodynamic, metabolic and cardiovascular parameters in early postoperative period in hypertonic colloid solution and usual infusion therapy groups.
Material And Methods: The study was blind placebo controlled. Thirty patients were randomly divided into two groups. The control group received usual Ringer solution for hypovolemia correction and the study group received 250 ml of 7.2% NaCl/6% Hydroxyethylstarch (HyperHaes, Frezenius) solution. The measurements were made before, immediately after the infusion, 60 min and 180 min after infusion. The parameters of central hemodynamics, oxygen transport, the temperature gradient, electrolyte concentration and fluid balance were evaluated.
Results: After infusion of HyperHaes solution cardiac index increased from 2.8+/-0.2 to 3.8+/-0.3 L/min/m(2), pulmonary vascular resistance and systemic vascular resistance decreased. Serum Na(+)and Cl (-)increase in investigative group did not exceeded normal range and returned to initial level after an hour. The total fluid balance and fluid balance during surgery in investigative group was less than that in the control group.
Conclusions: HyperHaes solution in early postoperative period after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery increased preload, had the tendency of decreasing afterload, increased cardiac index, decreased total fluid balance and did not cause hypernatremia and hyperchloremia.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most prevalent long-term inflammatory condition affecting the central nervous system in adults. However, seizures are rarely described as the first presentation of MS or as a sole manifestation of radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) or clinically isolated syndrome (CIS). The diagnosis of MS typically requires clinical evidence of neurological deficits and supportive radiological findings; however, RIS is characterized by incidental magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings suggestive of MS in the absence of clinical symptoms.

Background: Fluid overload (FO) in the intensive care unit (ICU) is common, serious, and may be preventable. Intravenous medications (including administered volume) are a primary cause for FO but are challenging to evaluate as a FO predictor given the high frequency and time-dependency of their use and other factors affecting FO. We sought to employ unsupervised machine learning methods to uncover medication administration patterns correlating with FO.

Snakebite-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) poses a significant health burden in the South Asia region, resulting in considerable morbidity and mortality. Multiple factors contribute to the pathogenesis of AKI following snakebites, including hypotension, intravascular haemolysis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, rhabdomyolysis, thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) and direct nephrotoxicity. Clinical features manifest as anuria, oliguria, haematuria, abdominal pain and hypertension.

Background: Fluid balance gap (FBgap-prescribed vs. achieved) is associated with hospital mortality. Downtime is an important quality indicator for the delivery of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).

Objective: 1) Characterize the workday habits of American jockeys, and 2) Evaluate the relationship between workday habits and fatigue through changes in postural stability (balance) across their workday.
Methods: Thirty-seven jockeys participated in pre- and post-race day testing. Jockeys completed questionnaires on workday habits and a two-minute balance test with tri-axial accelerometers on the unstable surface and sacrum.
