Objectives: Postoperative patients after congenital cardiac surgery are at high risk of fluid overload (FO), which is known to be associated with poor outcomes. "Fluid creep," or nonresuscitation IV fluid in excess of maintenance requirement, is recognized as a modifiable factor associated with FO in the general PICU population, but has not been studied in congenital cardiac surgery patients. Our objective was to characterize fluid administration after congenital cardiac surgery, quantify fluid creep, and the association between fluid creep, FO, and outcome.
Design: Retrospective, observational cohort study.
Setting: Single-center urban mixed-medical and cardiac PICU.
Patients: Patients admitted to the PICU after cardiac surgery between January 2010 and December 2020.
Interventions: None.
Measurements And Main Results: There were 1,459 postoperative encounters with 1,224 unique patients. Total fluid intake was greater than maintenance requirements on 3,103 of 4,661 patient days (67%), with fluid creep present on 2,624 patient days (56%). Total nonresuscitation intake was higher in patients with FO (defined as cumulative fluid balance 10% above body weight) versus those without. Fluid creep was higher among patients with FO than those without for each of the first 5 days postoperatively. Each 10 mL/kg of fluid creep in the first 24 hours postoperatively was associated with 26% greater odds of developing FO (odds ratio [OR] 1.26; 95% CI, 1.17-1.35) and 17% greater odds of mortality (OR 1.17; 95% CI, 1.05-1.30) after adjusting for risk of mortality based on surgical procedure, age, and day 1 resuscitation volume. Increasing fluid creep in the first 24 hours postoperatively was associated with increased postoperative duration of mechanical ventilation and PICU length of stay.
Conclusions: Fluid creep is present on most postoperative days for pediatric congenital cardiac surgery patients, and fluid creep is associated with higher-risk procedures. Fluid creep early in the postoperative PICU stay is associated with greater odds of FO, mortality, length of mechanical ventilation, and PICU length of stay. Fluid creep may be under-recognized in this population and thus present a modifiable target for intervention.

The ligamentous cervical instability etiology of human disease from the forward head-facedown lifestyle: emphasis on obstruction of fluid flow into and out of the brain.

Ligamentous cervical instability, especially ligamentous upper cervical instability, can be the missing structural cause and/or co-morbidity for many chronic disabling brain and systemic body symptoms and diagnoses. Due to the forward head-facedown lifestyle from excessive computer and cell phone usage, the posterior ligament complex of the cervical spine undergoes a slow stretch termed "creep" which can, over time, lead to cervical instability and a breakdown of the cervical curve. As this degenerative process continues, the cervical curve straightens and ultimately becomes kyphotic, a process called cervical dysstructure; simultaneously, the atlas (C1) moves forward, both of which can lead to encroachment of the structures in the carotid sheath, especially the internal jugular veins and vagus nerves.

Subject-specific knee joint models are widely used to predict joint contact mechanics for individuals but may not capture the variance in knee joint geometry across a population. Statistical shape modeling uses the dataset of a cohort to encapsulate population-wide variability. The present study aimed to develop a shape modeling procedure for poromechanical finite element models of knee joint to account for population diversity in the creep response of knees.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between cartilage endplate (CEP) degeneration and intervertebral disc degeneration from a biomechanical perspective.
- Four advanced finite element models were developed to assess the impact of CEP degradation through various loading tests.
- Findings indicate that while daily loading affects disc degeneration significantly, CEP degeneration has a minor effect, highlighting the importance of glycosaminoglycan content and CEP permeability in disc biomechanics.

Biofilms are highly resistant to antimicrobials, often causing chronic infections. Combining antimicrobials with low-frequency ultrasound (LFU) enhances antimicrobial efficiency, but little is known about the underlying mechanisms. Biofilm physical characteristics, which depend on factors such as growth conditions and age, can have significant effects on inactivation efficiency.

Fluid creep, used as a drug diluent can contribute to fluid and electrolyte balance. Fluid creep brings substantial volume and electrolyte load to patients, especially in critically ill children. This study is conducted to evaluate the correlation of fluid creep with fluid and electrolyte balance in critically ill children.
