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.

Usability testing has become a necessary step to successfully implement health information technology, but despite the expanded variety of usability methods, systems still are not guaranteed to meet user needs in a hectic and dynamic healthcare environment. The present work discusses some of the metrics employed with the intent of usability testing clinical decision support alerts for the early identification of sepsis patients. By utilizing methods such as eye tracking, think aloud protocols, human computer interaction, and more, health information technology can be adequately developed to ensure effective, efficacious, and optimal integration.

Objective: In addition to its antiplatelet and anti-inflammatory properties, aspirin inhibits bacterial proliferation directly. The potential benefits of aspirin may enhance the prognosis for sepsis patients. However, little is known about the effects of early aspirin administration.

Melatonin (Mel) is known for various biological function, such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capabilities, as well as its ability to modulate immune responses, which can protect mitochondria and improve the prognosis of sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI). However, there is a multitude of theories regarding how Mel exerts its immune-modulating functions, with no consensus reached as of yet. We propose the protective effects of Mel on mitochondria are closely related to the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway in the immune-inflammatory response.

Background: Bacterial infections in the Intensive Care Units are a threat to the lives of critically ill patients. Their vulnerable immunity predisposes them to developing bacteria-associated sepsis, deteriorating their already fragile health. In the face of increasing antibiotics resistance, the problem of bacterial infection in ICU is worsening.
