Podocyte injury is a major biomarker of primary glomerular disease that leads to massive proteinuria and kidney failure. Ginsenoside Rk1, a substance derived from ginseng, has several pharmacological activities, such as anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. In this study, our goal is to investigate the roles and mechanisms of ginsenoside Rk1 in podocyte injury and acute kidney injury (AKI).

: Blunt thoracic trauma possesses unique physiopathological traits due to the complex interaction of immune and coagulation systems in the lung tissue. Hemogram-based ratios such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte × platelet (NLPR) ratios have been studied as proxies for immune dysregulation and survival in trauma. We hypothesized that blunt thoracic trauma patients exhibit distinct patterns of coagulation and inflammation abnormalities identifiable by the use of readily available hemogram-derived markers.

Up to 50% of patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) experience hemodynamic instability and approximately 70% of patients who die of PE experience an accelerated cascade of symptoms within the first hours of onset of symptoms, thus necessitating rapid evaluation and intervention. Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and other ventricular assist devices, depending on the hemodynamic derangements present, may be used to stabilize patients with massive PE refractory to initial therapies or with contraindications to other interventions. Given the abnormalities in both pulmonary circulation and gas exchange caused by massive PE, venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation may be considered the preferred form of mechanical circulatory support for most patients.

Background: The estimated incidence of pulmonary embolism (PE) is around 60-70 cases per 100,000 people annually. The overall mortality rate for massive PE is substantial, ranging from 18% to 65%. We can utilise changes in lung perfusion to stratify patients with PE acutely based on risk, highlighting its diagnostic and prognostic value.
