Background: Fluid challenge (FC) is one of the most common practices in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The present study aimed to evaluate whether echocardiographic assessment of the response to FC at the end of the infusion or 20 min later could affect the results of the FC.

Methods: This is a prospective, observational, multicenter study including all ICU patients in septic shock requiring a FC of 500 mL crystalloids over 10 min. Fluid responsiveness was defined as a > 15% increase in stroke volume (SV) assessed by velocity-time integral (VTI) measurements at baseline (T), at the end of FC (T), then 10 (T) and 20 min (T) after the end of FC.

Results: From May 20, 2014, to January 7, 2016, a total of 143 patients were enrolled in 11 French ICUs (mean age 64 ± 14 years, median IGS II 53 [43-63], median SOFA score 10 [8-12]). Among the 76/143 (53%) patient responders to FC at T, 37 patients were transient responders (TR), i.e., became non-responders (NR) at T (49%, 95%CI = [37-60]), and 39 (51%, 95%CI = [38-62]) patients were persistent responders (PR), i.e., remained responders at T. Among the 67 NR at T, 4 became responders at T30, (6%, 95%CI = [1.9-15.3]). In the subgroup analysis, no statistical difference in hemodynamic and echocardiographic parameters was found between groups.

Conclusions: This study shows that 51.3% of initial responders have a persistent response to fluid 30 min after the beginning of fluid infusion and only 41.3% have a transient response highlighting that fluid responsiveness is time dependent.

Background: Emamectin·chlorfenapyr is a compound comprising chlorfenapyr and emamectin benzoate that is widely used in agriculture. Chlorfenapyr toxicity has been verified in animals; however, its true mechanism and progression in humans remain to be elucidated. Cases of emamectin·chlorfenapyr poisoning are seldom.

Ammonium level in body fluids serves as one of the critical biomarkers for healthcare, especially those relative to liver diseases. The continuous and real-time monitoring in both invasive and non-invasive manners is highly desired, while the ammonium concentrations vary largely in different body fluids. Besides, the sensing reliability based on ion-selective biosensors can be significantly interfered by potassium ions.

Cortical spreading depolarizations (CSDs) are the most common electrophysiological dysfunction following a traumatic brain injury (TBI), and clustered CSDs (≥3 CSDs in 2 h) are associated with poor outcomes 6 months after TBI. While many experimental studies have investigated a single CSD after injury, no known studies have investigated how time after injury affects the characteristics and impact of a CSD cluster. This study sought to determine the characteristics of a cluster of repetitive CSDs when induced at three different time points after moderate experimental TBI.

Knee osteoarthritis contributes substantially to worldwide disability. Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) develops secondary to joint injury, such as ligament rupture, and there is increasing evidence suggesting a key role for inflammation in the aetiology of PTOA and associated functional deficits. Colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1-R) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of musculoskeletal degeneration following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.

The cyclopoid copepod species Apocyclops royi has attracted significant attention due to its importance in marine food webs and its role as a vital food source for many marine organisms, particularly marine fish larvae. This study aims to understand the activity patterns, osmoregulation mechanisms, and physiological adaptations of A. royi in response to acute decreasing salinities.
