Hemorrhage initially triggers a rise in sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) that maintains blood pressure (BP); however, SNA is suppressed following severe blood loss causing hypotension. We hypothesized that adrenergic C1 neurons in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (C1) drive the increase in SNA during compensated hemorrhage, and a reduction in C1 contributes to hypotension during decompensated hemorrhage. Using fiber photometry, we demonstrate that C1 activity increases during compensated hemorrhage and falls at the onset of decompensated hemorrhage. Using optogenetics combined with direct recordings of SNA, we show that C1 activation mediates the rise in SNA and contributes to BP stability during compensated hemorrhage, whereas a suppression of C1 activity is associated with cardiovascular collapse during decompensated hemorrhage. Notably, re-activating C1 during decompensated hemorrhage restores BP to normal levels. In conclusion, C1 neurons are a nodal point for the sympathetic response to blood loss.

Background: Plasma exchange (PE) removes high-molecular-weight substances and is sometimes used for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) with alveolar hemorrhage. Hypotension during PE is rare, except in allergic cases. We report a case of shock likely caused by increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) during PE.

Vitamin D Supplementation Is Associated with Inflammation Amelioration and Cognitive Improvement in Decompensated Patients with Cirrhosis.

Decompensated cirrhosis is characterized by systemic inflammation and innate and adaptive immune dysfunction. Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a prevalent and debilitating condition characterized by cognitive disturbances in which ammonia and inflammation play a synergistic pathogenic role. Extraskeletal functions of vitamin D include immunomodulation, and its deficiency has been implicated in immune dysfunction and different forms of cognitive impairment.

: It is unknown how early exercise therapy combined with acupuncture (AP) affects the speed of recovery in patients suffering from heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) who are hospitalized due to worsening HF. : A prospective, sham-procedure-controlled, double-blind, randomized clinical trial with three patient groups was conducted. The study included patients with HFrEF who were hospitalized for worsening HF.

Introduction And Aim: Assessing decongestion in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is challenging, requiring multiple parameters and often remaining imprecise. The study aimed to investigate the utility of indirectly estimating plasma variation (∆ePVS) for evaluating decongestion in ADHF patients in relation to natriuretic peptides.

Materials And Methods: This prospective, observational, single-center study included 111 patients (mean age 74 years, 40% female) hospitalized with ADHF and treated with intravenous diuretics along with optimized medical therapy.

Background/aims: Acute decompensation (AD) is defined as the development of complications related to portal hypertension and liver dysfunction that affect the progression of chronic liver disease (CLD) or liver cirrhosis (LC). Variations exist in patient demographics and prognostic outcomes of AD based on the aetiology of CLD, encompassing LC. However, limited research has been conducted to analyse these discrepancies across aetiologies.
