AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Hypoxic hepatitis (HH) is a severe complication of postoperative low output syndrome, associated with high mortality rates despite appropriate drug therapy. Recently several extracorporeal supportive techniques have become available. We describe the case of a 70-year-old woman who developed HH secondary to cardiogenic shock after cardiac surgery. CPFA proved to be a valid tool for concomitant hemodynamic support and organ replacement therapy.

Background: Nitrofurantoin is a prevalent antibiotic used to treat urinary tract infections. Despite nitrofurantoin's general safety, it can cause serious side effects, including acute pulmonary toxicity, fulminant hepatitis, and severe systemic inflammatory responses, which may mimic conditions such as ischemia and infection. However, reports of acute systemic inflammatory response syndrome after nitrofurantoin ingestion are uncommon in medical literature.

Background: Restriction factors are host cell proteins that play a role in limiting virus replication. They form part of the intrinsic immune system and function as a first line of defense against viral infections. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) does not escape this rule and TREX1, a host restriction enzyme acts as an antiviral factor, leading to the inhibition of the virus.

In this manuscript we comment on the article by Yang published recently, focusing on how hepatic angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) transcription promote the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCC is one of the most common and lethal malignancies worldwide, especially in regions with high hepatitis B virus infection rates. Ang-2 is a key mediator of angiogenesis and plays a significant role in the progression of chronic liver diseases towards HCC, particularly in the hypoxic microenvironment.

Background: A precise observation is that the cervix's solid tumors possess hypoxic regions where the oxygen concentration drops below 1.5%. Hypoxia negatively impacts the host's immune system and significantly diminishes the effectiveness of several treatments, including radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Background: Hypoxic hepatitis (HH) is commonly seen in critically ill patients, such as those with cardiac shock, sepsis, and respiratory failure. However, data are limited regarding its impact on the prognosis of patients with cardiac arrest (CA).
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies from PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library from inception to July 30, 2024.
