Abstract

Because of the uncertainty in the appropriate initial loop diuretic dose in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) is believed to be increased with the high dose of initial intravenous (IV) loop diuretic. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the first 24-h IV diuretic on kidney function in ADHF. A retrospective cohort study included patients with ADHF. These patients were divided into two groups: the first group received an initial total IV diuretic dose that was equal to or 2.5 times less than the home dose in the first 24 h (low dose), while the second group received 2.5 times more than the home dose in the first 24 h (high dose). The primary outcome was the incidence of developing AKI within 48 h of first IV diuretic. The secondary outcomes were total hospital length of stay and all-cause 30-day readmission rates. A total of 252 patients were available for analysis; 172 patients received a low dose in the first 24 h, while 80 patients received a high dose. The incidence of AKI was higher in the high-dose group compared to that in the low-dose group (25% vs. 9.9%, P = 0.002). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of hospital stay and all-c...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
