Renal transporters (cotransporters, channels, and claudins) mediate homeostasis of fluids and electrolytes and are targets of hormonal and therapeutic regulators. Assessing renal transporter abundance with antibody probes by immunoblotting is an essential tool for mechanistic studies. Although journals require authors to demonstrate antibody specificity, there are no consensus guidelines for kidney sample preparation leading to lab-to-lab variability in immunoblot results.

Background: Aprotinin, a serine protease inhibitor, has been used variably in cardiac surgery amidst ongoing debates about its safety following several previous studies. This study assesses the outcomes of aprotinin in high-risk isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (iCABG) patients.
Methods: The study retrospectively analysed a cohort of 1026 iCABG patients, including 51 patients who underwent aprotinin treatment.

Background: The role of aprotinin in modern cardiac surgery is not well defined. While licensed for use in isolated coronary artery bypass grafting it is more commonly used for cases deemed to be at an increased risk of bleeding. The relative efficacy, and safety profile, of aprotinin as compared to other antifibrinolytics in these high-risk cases is uncertain.

The use of strategies to reduce blood loss and transfusions is essential in the treatment of surgical patients, including in complex cardiac surgeries and those that use cardiopulmonary bypass. Antifibrinolytics, such as epsilon-aminocaproic acid (EACA) and tranexamic acid (TXA), are widely used in these procedures, as well as in other types of surgeries. These medicines are included in the World Health Organization (WHO) list of 'essential medicines'.

Introduction: SGLT2 inhibitors are used to reduce the risk of progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In patients with type 2 diabetes, they have been found to reduce extracellular volume. Given the high prevalence of extracellular volume expansion and overhydration (OH) in CKD, we investigated whether SGLT2 inhibitors might correct these disturbances in CKD patients.
