Case Description: An 89-year-old woman taking paroxetine was admitted to our hospital for femoral neck fracture; her diet became sodium restricted due to hypertension. After admission, the femoral head replacement was performed and hypotonic saline was administered over 2 days. On the fifth day after the operation, severe hyponatremia was observed and treated with oral fluid restriction, furosemide, sodium chloride and paroxetine discontinuance. In a few days, serum sodium concentration returned to baseline level.
Conclusions: Besides risk factors for SIADH, a sodium-restricted diet and infusions of hypotonic saline in the perioperative period should be considered risk factors for SIADH associated with paroxetine.

Background: Dry eye disease (DED) is commonly caused by excessive tear film evaporation due to Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). There is a need for DED treatment options that address tear evaporation and benefit patients across a broad range of demographic and disease characteristics. This study evaluated treatment effects of perfluorohexyloctane ophthalmic drop (formerly NOV03) in the pooled dataset from 2 pivotal clinical trials in patients with DED associated with MGD, both in the overall population and in patient subgroups based on sex, age, and baseline severity of eye dryness.

Introduction: Cerebral swelling and brain injury in ischemic stroke are closely related to increased vasopressin (VP) secretion. How to alleviate ischemic brain injury by suppressing VP hypersecretion through simply available approaches remains to be established.
Methods: Using a rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), testing effects of the intranasal application of low concentration saline-0.

Hyponatraemia, defined as sodium concentration below 135 mmol/l, is one of the most common electrolyte imbalances. Differential diagnosis of hyponatraemia is difficult. We describe 3 cases of children with transient, severe hyponatraemia (< 125 mmol/l).

Hyponatraemia is the most common electrolyte disorder in hospital patients associated with increased morbidity, mortality, hospital stay and financial burden. The speed of a correction with 3% sodium chloride as a 100- to 150-ml intravenous bolus or continuous infusion depends on the severity and persistence of the symptoms and needs frequent biochemical monitoring. The rapid intermittent administration of hypertonic saline is preferred for treatment of symptomatic hyponatraemia.

Article Synopsis
- Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is generally safe but can lead to serious complications, such as fluid extravasation and tissue injury, which depend on the type of irrigation fluid used and surgery duration.
- Four cases were reported where sterile distilled water, incorrectly labeled as irrigation fluid, led to acute kidney injury in patients after surgery, requiring readmission and dialysis for recovery.
- It’s crucial to ensure proper labeling and monitoring of surgical fluids, as using distilled water can be harmful, even in the absence of normal saline or hyperosmolar serums.
