Background: The KDIGO recommendation in acute kidney injury (AKI) patients requiring kidney replacement therapy is to deliver a Urea Kt/V of 1.3 for intermittent thrice weekly hemodialysis, and an effluent volume of 20-25 ml/kg/hour when using continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Considering that prior studies have suggested equivalent outcomes when using CRRT-prolonged intermittent renal replacement therapy (PIRRT) effluent doses below 20 mL/kg/h, our group investigated the possible benefits of low effluent volume CRRT-PIRRT (12.

Background And Objectives: Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs), including Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), represent a major global health challenge. Arrhythmias such as Ventricular Tachycardia (VT), Ventricular Fibrillation (VF), Atrial Fibrillation (AF), Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs), and Premature Atrial Contractions (PACs) frequently complicate ACS, needing effective management strategies. Omega-3 fatty acids have shown potency in preventing sudden cardiac death by modulating arrhythmias, but their acute effects in ACS patients remain controversial.

Waterhouse-Friderichsen Syndrome (WFS) is a rare but life-threatening condition characterized by massive adrenal hemorrhage. WFS represents one of the features of the Overwhelming Post-Splenectomy Infection, which occurs any time after spleen removal and is recognized as the most serious complication in asplenic patients. We report a fatal case of WFS resulting from Streptococcus pneumoniae infection in a vaccinated and splenectomized patient.
