In 163 patients with acute suppurations of lungs and pleura a substantial reduction of deformability of erythrocytes was established. The maximum increased rigidity of blood red cells was noted at the peak of the pyo-destructive process and postoperative period as well as in the complicated course of the postoperative period. The curative plasmapheresis, general hyperbaric oxygenation exert positive influence upon plastic properties of erythrocytes.

Rationale: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome associated with a multitude of conditions. Although renal replacement therapy (RRT) remains the cornerstone of treatment for advanced AKI, its implementation can potentially pose risks and may not be readily accessible across all healthcare settings and regions. Elevated lactate levels are implicated in sepsis-induced AKI; however, it remains unclear whether increased lactate directly induces AKI or elucidates the underlying mechanisms.

Objective: This study investigated the effects of early treatment and pathophysiology on eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis neuropathy (EGPA-N).
Methods: Twenty-six consecutive patients with EGPA-N were diagnosed and treated within a day of admission and underwent clinical analysis. Peripheral nerve recovery rates were evaluated after early treatment by identifying the damaged peripheral nerve through detailed neurological findings.
