The glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) has a unique spatial structure, including porous capillary endothelial cells, glomerular basal membrane (GBM) and highly specialized podocytes. This special structure is essential for the hemofiltration process of nephrons. GBM is the central meshwork structure of GFB formed by the assembly and fusion of various extracellular matrix (ECM) macromolecules, such as laminins and collagens, which undergo isoform transformation and maturation that may require precise regulation by metalloproteinases.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the association between high outliers and intensive care unit admissions and to identify the factors contributing to high intensive care unit costs.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from 17 Belgian hospitals from 2018 and 2019. The study focused on the 10 most frequently admitted diagnosis-related groups in the intensive care unit.

Purpose: Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is beneficial for uncontrollable torso bleeding; however, prolonged REBOA causes ischemia-reperfusion injury. The purpose of this study is to examine the hypothesis that continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) with a cytokine-adsorbing hemofilter would improve mortality due to hemorrhagic shock with REBOA-reperfusion injury by controlling metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, and hypercytokinemia.
Methods: Hemorrhagic shock with 40% blood loss was induced by phlebotomy in eight female swine.

Background: The mitroaortic intervalvular fibrosa is an avascular structure near the left ventricular outflow tract, between the mitral and aortic valves. Mitroaortic intervalvular fibrosa complications, such as tamponade, hemopericardium, and abscesses, are rare and often diagnosed postmortem. On the other hand, the COVID-19 pandemic notably impacted pediatric patients with congenital heart diseases, who frequently presented cardiac complications including arrhythmias, elevated troponins, myocarditis, and heart failure.

BACKGROUND Extracorporeal blood purification strategies were recently developed as adjunctive treatments for sepsis. CytoSorb® is an approved medical device designed to reduce blood levels of inflammatory cytokines. The oXiris high-adsorption membrane filter is used in continuous hemofiltration adsorption.
