Background: Acute heart failure (HF) is a common cause of hospital admission. This study aims to compare continuous infusion and intermittent boluses of furosemide in treating acute HF.
Methods: This protocol of systematic review and meta-analysis has been drafted under the guidance of the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses protocols. Electronic databases including Web of Science, Embase, PubMed, Wanfang, Data, Scopus, Science Direct, and Cochrane Library will be searched in June 2021 by 2 independent reviewers. The main outcomes are post-treatment daily urine output, weight, length of stay, serum sodium, potassium, and creatinine. Two researchers conducted a quality assessment in strict accordance with the risk bias assessment tool recommended by the Cochrane Handbook Version5.3. We performed the meta-analysis by Stata version 10.0 software.
Results: The results of this systematic review and meta-analysis will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Conclusion: The choice of furosemide regime in acute HF remains physician preference. Both bolus and continuous infusion yields satisfactory outcomes.

Resting beat-to-beat blood pressure variability in humans: role of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors.
Clin Auton Res

Department of Health and Kinesiology, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA.
Purpose: Resting beat-to-beat blood pressure variability is a strong predictor of cardiovascular events and mortality. However, its underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Given that the sympathetic nervous system plays a pivotal role in cardiovascular regulation, we hypothesized that alpha-1 adrenergic receptors (the main sympathetic receptor controlling peripheral vasoconstriction) may contribute to resting beat-to-beat blood pressure variability.

Background: Disorders of the coagulation pathway are triggered in patients with severe burn and inhalation injuries in the early stages. There are multiple early coagulation indices identified to correlate with adverse outcomes.
Method: A retrospective analysis of patients with severe burn and inhalation injuries from 12 centers in mainland China was performed to identify early changed coagulation indices with predictive value associated with four major 28-day adverse outcomes (death, anticoagulation, mechanical ventilation, continuous renal replacement therapy) by logistic regression.
Hemodynamic response of the aortic valve during dobutamine onset then progressive aortic banding.

An increasing number of procedures over the past two decades for aortic stenosis (AS) reflects the combination of an aging population and less invasive transcatheter options. As a result, the hemodynamics of the aortic valve (AV) have gained renewed interest to understand its behavior and to optimize patient selection. We studied the hemodynamic relationship between pressure loss (ΔP) and transvalvular flow (Q) of the normal AV as well as the impact of a variable supravalvular stenosis.

Nitrocellulose (NC)-based propellants have played a pivotal role in the development of energetic materials for both military and civilian applications. This review offers a comprehensive exploration of NC-based propellants, tracing their evolution from their historical origins as smokeless gunpowder to modern advancements. It discusses the chemical composition and classifications of NC propellants, along with continuous efforts to refine smokeless powder formulations through studies on smoke formation, residues, and additives.

Aims: This study aimed to conduct a phase 2 proof-of-concept and safety study to evaluate the effect of ENIBARCIMAB (EN), a non-neutralizing humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the N-terminus of adrenomedullin (ADM), administered immediately after stabilization with standard of care (SoC) treatment, in patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (AHF).
Methods And Results: This prospective, open-label, controlled, interventional, multicenter, dose-escalation study was conducted at two cardiology sites in Indonesia. Patients were divided into two interventional groups sequentially receiving 0.
