Introduction: Neonatal sepsis remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality across all healthcare systems. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in neonates and is associated with poor clinical outcomes. We sought to profile the incidence of AKI in infants with culture-positive bacteraemia and to assess the utility of the neonatal sequential organ failure (nSOFA) tool in AKI prediction.
Methods: A single-centre retrospective review of infants with culture-positive bacteraemia was performed at the Rotunda Hospital, Dublin, Ireland. Clinical, demographic and biochemical data were collated, with the modified neonatal Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria and nSOFA scoring applied to each included patient.
Results: Our cohort of n=35 patients with culture-positive bacteraemia had an AKI incidence of 48.6%. There was no statistically significant association between peak nSOFA and the development of AKI.
Conclusion: The incidence of AKI in late-onset neonatal clinically significant bacteraemia is high. nSOFA within 24 hours of culture has poor utility in predicting acute kidney injury in neonatal patients with culture-positive bacteraemia.

The 2012 Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines clearly define emergent indications for kidney replacement therapy; however, whether dialysis should be initiated in critically ill patients without these indications remains unclear. This review briefly summarizes the results of recent landmark trials and discusses their limitations originating from a criteria-based approach at a single time point. Moreover, a personalized approach based on each patient's demand-capacity balance and its future benefits as a platform for kidney support therapy in critically ill patients are discussed.

Objectives: Osteoporosis is characterized by decreased bone mass and damaged bone microstructure, often leading to fragility fractures. Low bone mineral density is a key risk factor for fractures. Serum cystatin C (CysC), an endogenous marker of glomerular filtration rate, is negatively correlated with bone mineral density and may be a potential risk factor for osteoporosis.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) lacks a definitive therapeutic approach beyond supportive care. One significant pathological mechanism involves the regulated death of tubular epithelial cells; however, the regulatory mechanisms underlying this cell death pathway require further investigation. The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, recognized as the most prevalent modification in eukaryotes, plays a critical role in the regulatory processes associated with AKI.

Background: The use of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for severe aortic stenosis is expanding to patients across the entire spectrum of surgical risk. We aimed to perform a meta-analysis comparing TAVI and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in trials enrolling lower risk patients.
Methods: We conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing safety and efficacy outcomes between TAVI and SAVR among lower risk patients (mean/median STS score <4).
