Objectives: Worsening of renal function in a patient with acute decompensated heart failure is called cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) type 1. Recent studies have shown an association of persistent systemic venous congestion with renal dysfunction. This trial was set up to investigate the changes of renal Doppler parameters with diuretic therapy in patients with CRS type 1.
Methods: Cases of CRS type 1 were identified among patients hospitalized for decompensated heart failure. Serial measurements of the renal venous impedance index (VII) and arterial resistive index (ARI) were calculated by pulsed wave Doppler sonography.
Results: A total of 30 patients who had creatinine improvement with diuresis (group 1) and 34 patients without any improvement (group 2) were analyzed. Patients in group 1 had higher median VII and ARI (VII, 0.86 versus 0.66; P < .001; ARI, 0.78 versus 0.65; P < .001) on admission. A high ARI on admission (odds ratio, 6.25; 95% confidence interval, 1.84-14.3; P = .003) predicted the improvement of serum creatinine levels with diuretic therapy independent of confounding factors in patients with CRS type 1.
Conclusions: Renal vascular Doppler parameters might offer guidance on the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in prescribing decongestive therapy for decompensated heart failure.

Introduction: Zongertinib (BI 1810631) is a potent, selective, and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) wild-type sparing human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) inhibitor. Based on in vitro data, the oxidative hepatic metabolism of zongertinib is principally driven by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4/5. Therefore, zongertinib may be affected by strong CYP3A inducers, like carbamazepine.

Acute heart failure is associated with high hospitalization and mortality rates. A strong, independent risk factor for mortality in patients with heart failure is acute kidney injury, and the condition caused by this connection between disturbances in heart function and proper kidney functioning is cardiorenal syndrome (CRS). This case report discusses the role of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in the management of a CRS case with septic shock due to pneumonia.

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the correlation between lipoprotein(a) (Lp-a) and coronary artery disease (CAD) complicated by type I cardiorenal syndrome (CRS).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with CAD admitted to the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at Shaoxing Central Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022, with chief complaints of "chest distress and dyspnea." Patient demographic data, biochemical indicators (including blood lipid levels and serum creatinine), cardiac function markers (such as pro-brain natriuretic peptide, pro-BNP), echocardiography, and coronary angiography results were collected.

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is characterized by prolonged inflammation of the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa lasting over 12 weeks. CRS is divided into two main types based on the presence of nasal polyps: CRS without nasal polyps and CRS with nasal polyps. The condition is further classified into endotypes based on type 1, type 2, and type 3 inflammatory signatures, with differences in terms of disease severity, prognosis, and treatment response.

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a leading treatment for advanced ovarian cancer, significantly improving overall survival and disease-free survival. This case involves a patient with peritoneal metastasis and ultra-high intra-abdominal pressure (36 mmHg). CRS + HIPEC induces extensive pathological and physiological changes affecting respiratory, circulatory, renal, coagulation, and metabolic systems.
