Excessive fluid administration after cardiothoracic surgery has been proposed as a cause of postoperative atrial fibrillation. In this study, we observed that fluid balance and volume administered on postoperative day 2 was greater in patients who developed postoperative AF than in those who did not. We also found that net fluid balance on postoperative day 2 was an independent predictor of postoperative AF among patients not receiving prophylactic therapy.

Passive dehydration reduces muscle thickness after resistance exercise.

Unlabelled: Dehydration-induced increased plasma osmolality (P) alters whole body fluid balance which could alter resistance exercise (RE) induced intramuscular (IM) fluid shift.
Purpose: The purpose of the current report was to investigate the effect of dehydration on RE-induced change in whole body fluid balance in resistance trained (RT) men.
Methods: Fourteen RT men performed two identical RE sessions, either in a hydrated (EUHY) or dehydrated (DEHY) state induced by a 24 hr fluid restriction.
The liver lymphatic system plays a critical role in maintaining interstitial fluid balance and immune regulation. Efficient lymphatic drainage is essential for liver homeostasis, but its role in liver disease progression remains poorly understood. In cirrhosis, lymphangiogenesis initially compensates for increased lymph production, but impaired lymphatic drainage in advanced stages may lead to complications such as ascites and portal hypertension.

Because different PICUs may have unique needs, barriers, and limitations to accurately report fluid balance (FB) and reduce FO, understanding the drivers of positive FB is needed. We hypothesize CFB >5% and >10% is common within initial days of PICU admission, but that reasons for high %CFB will vary across sites, as will barriers to accurate FB recording and opportunities to improve FB recording and management.

: Home rehabilitation improves patient satisfaction and reduces the need for specialist consultations. Hemodialysis is a costly post-ICU service that requires frequent monitoring. Previous studies have demonstrated the feasibility and accuracy of patients self-scanning their lungs with an ultrasound device within the hospital.

Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM) is a diagnostic entity defined as cardiac dysfunction (diastolic and/or systolic) in patients with liver cirrhosis, in the absence of overt cardiac disorder. Pathogenically, CCM stems from a combination of systemic and local hepatic factors that, through hemodynamic and neurohormonal changes, affect the balance of cardiac function and lead to its remodeling. Vascular changes in cirrhosis, mostly driven by portal hypertension, splanchnic vasodilatation, and increased cardiac output alongside maladaptively upregulated feedback systems, lead to fluid accumulation, venostasis, and cardiac dysfunction.
