Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates how urine output (UO) and urine spot sodium (USS) measurements during a furosemide stress test (FST) can predict the progression of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients.
  • A total of 50 patients were assessed, with findings revealing significant differences in UO at 1 and 2 hours for those with progressive AKI compared to non-progressive cases.
  • The study concludes that monitoring UO in the first two hours and the change in the urine spot sodium creatinine ratio (USSCR) within six hours post-FST could aid in distinguishing progressive AKI early on.

Introduction: Limb amputation and subsequent prosthetics lead to significant disturbances in bone residual limb remodeling.

Aim: To familiarize specialists with the possibility of simultaneous bilateral stress fractures of amputation residual limbs resulting from intensive loads and poor-quality prosthetics causing chronic compartment syndrome. A case of bilateral stress fractures of the tibia in a 28-year-old male military serviceman with paired transtibial amputation is presented.

Cardiovascular diseases like hypertension require diuretics, but their effectiveness and side effects limit their use. Alternatives like Ribes orientale extract are being investigated for potential diuretic. In acute diuretic action, the extract and fractions of Ribes orientale were investigated in saline-loaded rats at doses of 12.

Klinik für Anästhesiologie Intensivmedizin und Schmerztherapie Universitätsklinikum Knappschaftskrankenhaus Bochum, University Clinic of Ruhr University Bochum, Bochum, Germany.

Aquaporins (AQPs), a family of membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of water and small solutes, have garnered increasing attention for their role in sepsis, not only in fluid balance but also in immune modulation and metabolic regulation. Sepsis, characterized by an excessive and dysregulated immune response to infection, leads to widespread organ dysfunction and significant mortality. This review focuses on the emerging roles of aquaporins in immune metabolism and their potential as therapeutic targets in sepsis, with particular attention to the modulation of inflammatory responses and organ protection.
