Apelin, a (neuro) vasoactive peptide, plays a prominent role in controlling water balance and cardiovascular functions. Apelin and its receptor co-localize with vasopressin in magnocellular vasopressinergic neurons. Apelin receptors (Apelin-Rs) are also expressed in the collecting ducts of the kidney, where vasopressin type 2 receptors are also present.

: Bacterial superinfections are common complications during viral infections, but the impact of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens in critically ill patients affected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is still debated. : This is an observational, monocentric, and prospective study designed to investigate the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of MDR bacterial superinfections in COVID-19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). : A high incidence of superinfections (66%, 159/241) was observed: ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) (65%, 104/159) and bloodstream infection (BSI, 32%, 51/159) were the most common.

Background: The use of a fluid co-load has been shown to enhance hemodynamic stability and diminish the occurrence of hypotension after spinal anesthesia when paired with prophylactic norepinephrine. This research aimed to identify the effective dosages (ED and ED) of prophylactic norepinephrine boluses, in conjunction with a crystalloid co-load, for the prevention of hypotension after spinal anesthesia in cesarean delivery patients.
Methods: Patients were administered crystalloid co-loads at a dosage of 10 mL/kg, in addition to preventive norepinephrine dosages direct following spinal anesthesia administration.

Background: Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency is a rare life-threatening inborn error of neurotransmitter biosynthesis. It is characterized by deficient biosynthesis of neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, leading to catecholamines deficiency and sympathetic deprivation, while the parasympathetic system remains functional. Since 2012, gene therapy has led to clinical improvements in symptoms and motor function with a severe phenotype.

Purpose: The management of acute heart failure (AHF) is crucial and challenging. Regarding the use of inotropes, correct patient selection and time of administration are of the essence. We hypothesize that the early use of Levosimendan favouring hemodynamic stabilization and enables rapid optimization of guideline-directed medical treatment (GDMT) in patients with HF, eventually impacting the patient's prognosis during the vulnerable phase.
