Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the impact of coexisting metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) on in-hospital mortality and organ injury markers in patients with heat stroke (HS).
Approach: HS patients were retrospectively identified between July 1, 2022 and September 30, 2023 at West China Hospital, Sichuan University. Baseline characteristics, such as demographics, initial vital signs, and organ functional indicators were collected. Outcome events included organ injury and in-hospital mortality. The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (Lasso) method was employed to identify the optimal predictors for in-hospital mortality in HS patients. Subsequently, multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the relationship between the presence of MASLD and in-hospital mortality as well as organ function indicators.
Findings: A total of 112 patients were included in the study, in which 27 (24.1%) had coexisting MASLD. Compared to those without MASLD, patients with MASLD had higher levels of various organ injury markers such as aspartate aminotransferase, urea nitrogen, serum cystatin C, creatinine, uric acid, myoglobin, creatine kinase and its isoenzymes upon admission ( < 0.05). The multivariable Logistic regression analysis indicated that the presence of MASLD is an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality in HS patients.
Conclusion: This study firstly indicated that coexisting MASLD may exacerbate organ injury in HS patients and serve as an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality.

Association of trimethylamine N-oxide and metabolites with kidney function decline in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Background: Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a gut microbial metabolite derived from dietary l-carnitine and choline. High plasma TMAO levels are associated with cardiovascular disease and overall mortality, but little is known about the associations of TMAO and related metabolites with the risk of kidney function decline among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methods: We prospectively followed 152 nondialysis patients with CKD stages 3-5 and measured plasma TMAO and related metabolites (trimethylamine [TMA], choline, carnitine, and γ-butyrobetaine) via liquid chromatography‒mass spectrometry.
Safety and efficacy of moderate-intensity statin with ezetimibe in elderly patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Korea University Anam Hospital, Korea University College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.
Background: High-intensity statin therapy significantly reduces mortality and cardiovascular events in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). However, moderate-intensity statins are often preferred for elderly patients due to their higher risk of intolerance to high-intensity statins.
Objective: To compare the incidence of statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS) and the effect on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels between elderly ASCVD patients receiving high-intensity statin monotherapy and those receiving moderate-intensity statin with ezetimibe in a combination therapy.
An update on multiple breath washout in children with cystic fibrosis.
Expert Rev Respir Med
December 2024
Division of Respiratory Medicine, The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Introduction: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene, leading to progressive lung disease and systemic complications. Lung disease remains the primary cause of morbidity and mortality, making early detection of lung function decline crucial. The Lung Clearance Index (LCI), derived from the multiple breath washout (MBW) test, has emerged as a sensitive measure for identifying early airway disease.

Background: The combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy has demonstrated an enhancement in progression-free survival (PFS) for individuals with advanced and metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) when compared to the use of chemotherapy alone. Nevertheless, the extent to which different subgroups of metastatic TNBC patients experience this benefit remains uncertain.
Objectives: Our objective was to conduct subgroup analyses to more precisely identify the factors influencing these outcomes.
Impact on fluid balance of an optimized restrictive strategy targeting non-resuscitative fluids in intensive care patients with septic shock: a single-blind, multicenter, randomized, controlled, pilot study.
Crit Care

Division of Anesthesia, Critical Care, Pain and Emergency Medicine, UR‑UM103 IMAGINE, University of Montpellier, Nimes University Hospital, Nîmes, France.
Background: In septic shock, the classic fluid resuscitation strategy can lead to a potentially harmful positive fluid balance. This multicenter, randomized, single-blind, parallel, controlled pilot study assessed the effectiveness of a restrictive fluid strategy aiming to limit daily volume.
Methods: Patients 18-85 years' old admitted to the ICU department of three French hospitals were eligible for inclusion if they had septic shock and were in the first 24 h of vasopressor infusion.
