Background: Nephrogenic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (NSIAD) is a disorder of water balance linked to gain-of-function mutation of arginine vasopressin receptor type 2 (AVPR2) resulting in free water reabsorption and episodes of hyponatremia.
Aims: To review the long-term treatment of NSIAD.
Methods: In the first part of this paper, we report 3 cases of male patients presenting with hyponatremia due to NSIAD. The second part consists of a comprehensive review of all published case reports.
Results: In our experience, long-term fluid restriction (FR) and treatment with low doses of urea are efficient and well tolerated. Episodic intake of urea seems sufficient in some patients. Treatment data were available for 13 of the 16 hyponatremic patients reported in the literature. Each of these 13 patients had regulated fluid intake. Six of the patients received urea with no reported failure to correct hyponatremia and 5 received NaCl supplementation with varying efficacy. The AVPR2 antagonists tolvaptan and satavaptan (prescribed before the diagnosis of NSIAD was made) showed no efficacy in 1 patient.
Conclusions: NSIAD is quite easy to treat with FR and urea in adults as well as in children, with good compliance and efficacy. Of note, FR is well tolerated, suggesting that NSIAD may differ from other causes of syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion by reduction of thirst intensity due to lower levels of AVP (which stimulates thirst). In eventual refractory cases, furosemide (associated with NaCl supplementation) would represent a valuable therapeutic option by analogy of its efficacy in syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion.

Oncogenic Osteomalacia as the Initial Presentation of Pleural Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma: A Case Report.

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare form of vascular neoplasm that can manifest with various symptoms or be discovered incidentally in asymptomatic patients. In this report, we describe a case of a 56-year-old male who presented with progressive lower limb weakness over four years. The evaluation revealed severe hypophosphatemia, an inappropriately normal fibroblast growth factor 23 C-terminal (cFGF-23) level, and a 30 x 20 mm hypermetabolic right pleural mass, which was subsequently proven to be EHE.

Background: Inherited cholestatic liver disorders such as progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) and Alagille syndrome result in significant pruritus and increased serum bile acids, necessitating liver transplantation. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ileal bile acid transport inhibitors (IBATIs) in children with PFIC and Alagille syndrome.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search across the databases to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and Covidence was used to screen eligible articles.

Background: Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a heterogeneous clinical syndrome, making it challenging to predict patient trajectory and response to treatment. This study aims to identify biological/molecular CS subphenotypes, evaluate their association with outcome, and explore their impact on heterogeneity of treatment effect (ShockCO-OP, NCT06376318).
Methods: We used unsupervised clustering to integrate plasma biomarker data from two prospective cohorts of CS patients: CardShock (N = 205 [2010-2012, NCT01374867]) and the French and European Outcome reGistry in Intensive Care Units (FROG-ICU) (N = 228 [2011-2013, NCT01367093]) to determine the optimal number of classes.

Background: Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) is the most common complication of preterm neonates. It remains one of the major public health concerns that contribute to neonatal mortality and morbidity, especially in Africa, where 80% of neonatal mortality is estimated to be caused by preterm complications. Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAP) ventilation is the preferred mode of RDS treatment.
