Introduction: Fluid overload (FO), a state of pathologic positive cumulative fluid balance (CFB), is common in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU) and associated with morbidity and mortality. Because different PICUs may have unique needs, barriers, and limitations to accurately report fluid balance (FB) and reduce FO, understanding the drivers of positive FB is needed. We hypothesize CFB >5% and >10% is common within initial days of PICU admission, but that reasons for high %CFB will vary across sites, as will barriers to accurate FB recording and opportunities to improve FB recording and management.

The combination of severe myalgia, progressive weakness, and blood in the urine often leads a neurologist to consider myositis. Accordingly, reddish urine may be linked to urine myoglobinuria brought about by muscle destruction. Nevertheless, in a young patient with normal creatine kinase complaining of immobility, adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) should be one of the top differentials.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are small, non-coding RNAs that play a crucial role in gene regulation, making them potential biomarkers for various diseases. In the field of veterinary medicine, there is a growing interest in exploring the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of miRNAs in kidney diseases affecting dogs and cats. This review focuses on the use of urinary miRNAs as biomarkers for chronic kidney disease (CKD) in these companion animals.

Scent marking through urine spraying is known to aid mate selection, territory marking and chemical communication in terrestrial, but not in aquatic mammals. We quantify an unusual aerial urination behaviour in botos (Inia geoffrensis) and discuss its potential functions. Between 2014 and 2018, we conducted land-based behavioural surveys on wild botos in central Brazil, recording the sequence, duration and social context of aerial urination.
