Background: Pancreatitis is the most common complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). The results of previous studies evaluating aggressive hydration with lactated Ringer solution for reducing the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) are inconsistent.
Aim: We performed a meta-analysis to determine whether aggressive hydration with lactated Ringer solution reduced PEP.
Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing aggressive hydration with standard hydration with the same lactated Ringer solution for prophylaxis of PEP were searched in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and CINAHL databases. ClinicalTrial.gov and International Standard Randomised Controlled Trial Number registry were also searched for unpublished studies. A meta-analysis was conducted in accordance with the Cochrane Handbook for Systemic Reviews of Intervention.
Results: A total of 7 RCTs with 1047 participants were included into this meta-analysis. Meta-analysis showed that aggressive hydration reduced the incidence of PEP as compared with standard hydration [odds ratio (OR), 0.47; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.30-0.72; P=0.0006]. Aggressive hydration also reduced the incidence of post-ERCP hyperamylasemia as compared with standard hydration (OR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.25-0.59; P<0.00001). No difference of adverse effects was found between aggressive hydration and standard hydration (OR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.15-1.57; P=0.23). Sensitivity analyses showed that neither alternative effect measures nor statistical models regarding heterogeneity affected the conclusions of this meta-analysis. Sensitivity analyses also showed that omitting 1 study from analysis did not change the conclusion of this meta-analysis.
Conclusions: On the basis of this meta-analysis of RCTs, aggressive hydration with lactated Ringer solution is an effective and safe therapy for prophylaxis of PEP.

The Effects of Morphology and Hydration on Anion Transport in Self-Assembled Nanoporous Membranes.

Ordered nanoporous polymer membranes offer opportunities for systematically probing the mechanisms of ion transport under confinement and for realizing useful materials for electrochemical devices. Here, we examine the impact of morphology and ion hydration on the transport of hydroxide and bromide anions in nanostructured polymer membranes with 1 nm scale pores. We use aqueous lyotropic self-assembly of an amphiphilic monomer, with a polymerizable surfactant to create direct hexagonal (H) and gyroid mesophases.

Advanced diagnostic techniques, such as infrared spectroscopy, provide precise stone analysis, enabling clinicians to tailor interventions based on specific stone types and associated metabolic abnormalities. Calcium oxalate monohydrate stones often require invasive approaches like percutaneous nephrolithotomy, while uric acid responds well to dissolution therapy.

Background: Myoepithelial carcinoma is a very rare yet aggressive tumor in children. Surgical intervention and local radiotherapy often lead to post-therapy complications, affecting both the aesthetic and functional quality of life in survivors. Hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers offer a minimally invasive option to improve the appearance and quality of life for these patients once they are declared tumor-free.

Background/objectives: Caring for patients at the end of life can involve issues that are ethically and legally fraught: withholding or withdrawing artificial nutrition and hydration, pain control that could hasten death, aggressive treatment that is continued when it seems only to be prolonging suffering, patients who request medical assistance in dying, and so forth. Clinicians may find that their deeply held ethical principles conflict with law, institutional policy, or patients' choices. In these situations, they may consider either refusing to participate in procedures that they find morally abhorrent (conscientious refusal) or providing care that they believe to be ethically obligatory despite being contrary to law or policy (conscientious commitment).

Rhabdomyolysis, a severe condition marked by the breakdown of muscle tissue, leads to the release of intracellular contents into the bloodstream. This condition can be triggered by a range of factors, including intense physical activity, traumatic injuries, certain medications, and infections. Diagnosis typically involves detecting elevated creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels alongside characteristic clinical symptoms.
