Acute and chronic alcohol intoxication causes a considerable deamidation of central nervous system proteins which is most pronounced in the spinal cord. There occurs rearrangement in the amide bonds lability and in the ratio of easy-hydrolyzable and strongly bound amide groups. The metabolic response to the single administration of ethanol is disturbed. Alcohol intoxication causes changes in the amount of amide groups in the central nervous system proteins under conditions of physical exercises and fatigue development.

This Review evaluates various mouse and rat models of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that result from repeated low-dose cisplatin (RLDC) treatment while also discussing ethical considerations on the topic. Cisplatin can cause nephrotoxicity, and high doses of cisplatin can cause acute kidney injury. The RLDC regimen has been used in the treatment of solid organ cancers and has shown efficacy in reducing the occurrence of acute kidney injury in patients.

Both acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease are risk factors for many outcomes of gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB). These are associated with higher mortality, longer hospitalisation, and greater need for transfusion in case of overt GIB. Our study aimed to further evaluate the role of kidney function in several clinical outcomes of GIB patients.

Background: Exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are known to increase the risk of cardiovascular (CV) events and mortality. However, the temporal trend of this risk has not fully elucidated. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to quantify the risk of CV events after COPD exacerbations over different time periods.

Background: Understanding similarities and differences between hesitancy for influenza and COVID-19 vaccines could facilitate strategies to improve public receptivity toward vaccination.
Methods: We compared hesitancy for COVID-19 vaccines during the first 13 months of availability (January 2021-January 2022) with hesitancy for influenza vaccines in the 15 months prior to COVID-19 vaccine availability (October 2019-December 2020) among adults hospitalized with acute respiratory illness at 21 hospitals in the United States. We interviewed patients regarding vaccination status, willingness to be vaccinated, and perceptions of vaccine safety and efficacy.

The transition of care (TOC) from acute to community-based settings presents significant challenges, especially for patients with chronic wounds. Effective communication and standardized discharge planning are critical to prevent readmissions and adverse events. This article explores the complexities of TOC, the role of skilled nursing and community-based long term care facilities, and the importance of interdisciplinary team approaches in wound care.
