Extracellular vesicle Cystatin C and CD14 are associated with both renal dysfunction and heart failure.
ESC Heart Fail
October 2020
Department of Surgery, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, Singapore.
Aims: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small double-membrane plasma vesicles that play key roles in cellular crosstalk and mechanisms such as inflammation. The role of EVs in combined organ failure such as cardiorenal syndrome has not been investigated. The aim of this study is to identify EV proteins that are associated with renal dysfunction, heart failure, and their combination in dyspnoeic patients.

Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Perugia, Via San Costanzo 4, 06126, Perugia, Italy.
Introduction/objectives: Recognition of congestive heart failure (CHF) in dyspnoeic cats is crucial for correct intervention. The pulmonary vein (PV) to pulmonary artery (PA) ratio (PV/PA) has been proposed as an index that might help discriminate dogs suffering from CHF but has never been studied in cats. We sought to determine reference intervals for various PV and PA variables in healthy cats.

Eur Heart J Case Rep
September 2018
Division of Internal Medicine, Nishida Hospital, Tsuruoka-Nishi-Machi 2-266, Saiki-City, Oita, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- Hyponatraemia, a condition characterized by low sodium levels, can be treated with costly oral vasopressin antagonists, but their use is limited in Japan due to insurance restrictions, making acetazolamide a potential alternative diuretic.
- An 83-year-old male with decompensated heart failure and several electrolyte imbalances was successfully treated with low-dose oral acetazolamide and polystyrene sulfonate-Ca jelly, leading to normalization of his electrolyte levels and stabilization of his heart failure status within two weeks.
- The case suggests that acetazolamide may act similarly to vasopressin antagonists in treating hyponatraemia in heart failure patients, offering a more accessible treatment option
Novel approaches to ultrasonography of the lung and pleural space: where are we now?
Breathe (Sheff)
June 2017
Hopital Ambroise-Paré, Boulogne (Paris West), France.
Unlabelled: This review article is an update of what should be known for practicing basic lung ultrasound in the critically ill (LUCI) and is also of interest for less critical disciplines ( pulmonology). It pinpoints on the necessity of a professional machine (not necessarily a sophisticated one) and probe. It lists the 10 main signs of LUCI and some of the main protocols made possible using LUCI: the BLUE protocol for a respiratory failure, the FALLS protocol for a circulatory failure, the SESAME protocol for a cardiac arrest and the investigation of a ventilated acute respiratory distress syndrome patient, .
