Background: Oral nutritional supplements (ONS) are commonly prescribed to provide protein and energy to hemodialysis (HD) patients. There is a debate about the appropriate timing to administer ONS. We aimed to study the effect of different timings of ONS on variable outcomes in HD patients.

The acute response to therapeutic afterload reduction differs between heart failure with preserved (HFpEF) versus reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), with larger left ventricular (LV) stroke work augmentation in HFrEF compared to HFpEF. This may (partially) explain the neutral effect of HFrEF-medication in HFpEF. It is unclear whether such differences in hemodynamic response persist and/or differentially trigger reverse remodeling in case of long-term afterload reduction.

Background: Despite the physiological advantages of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), its optimal utilization during one-lung ventilation (OLV) remains uncertain. We aimed to investigate whether individualized PEEP titration by lung compliance is associated with a reduced risk of postoperative pulmonary complications during OLV.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials until April 1, 2024, to identify published randomized controlled trials that compared individualized PEEP titration by lung compliance with fixed PEEP during OLV.

Background: Low-volume hypertonic solutions, such as half-molar lactate (LAC), may be a potential treatment used for fluid resuscitation. This study aimed to evaluate the underlying cardiovascular effects and mechanisms of LAC infusion compared to sodium-matched hypertonic sodium chloride (SAL).
Methods: Eight healthy male participants were randomized in a controlled, single-blinded, crossover study.

Objective: This study aims to elucidate the impact of varying tourniquet application timings on postoperative pain and the bone cement interface following TKA.
Method: Patients who underwent TKA in our department between March 2021 and July 2023 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to three groups: Group 1 used tourniquets throughout the operation, Group 2 applied tourniquets before the osteotomy, and Group 3 applied tourniquets after completing the osteotomy.
