This document discusses acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with sepsis. It recommends using isotonic crystalloids for initial volume expansion in at-risk patients and those with AKI. Albumin may have a role in patients requiring substantial crystalloid volumes or those with low serum albumin. Sodium bicarbonate administration has failed to improve hemodynamics in human studies of lactic acidosis and may increase risks. Guidelines are missing data on albumin benefits in low albumin patients and bicarbonate risks.

Renal Replacement Therapy: modes and evidenceMohd Saif Khan
Renal replacement therapy is a supportive care often required in critically ill patients who develop acute renal failure and its complications. Complexity arises when such patients become hemodynamically unstable and pose special challenge to critical care clinicians in ICU to carefully choose dialytic modality to tackle volume and solute overload. This presentation is about short description of modalities of RRT and current evidence regarding initiation, dose and type of modality.

A study on the pharmacological management of mineral bone disease in chronick...PARUL UNIVERSITY
In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), along with progression of CKD,
abnormalities of mineral and bone metabolism develop, which result in altered serum levels of minerals
such as calcium and phosphorus, as well as abnormalities in parathyroid hormone (PTH) or vitamin D
metabolism. Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral Bone Disease (CKD-MBD) is a serious burden because of
increased cardiovascular mortality thus making therapeutic improvements essential in CKD-MBD. The
present study was aimed at evaluation of pharmacological management of CKD-MBD.
Methods:A retrospective study including 180 patients divided into two groups of 90 each (diabetes
mellitus and non-Diabetes) was performed in the Department of Nephrology, SVIMS, Tirupati. Patients
who were on follow up for at least 3 years (2015-2017) were considered, serum parameters were measured at every six months with a total of 6 visits. First visit was taken as baseline and sixth visit as
conclusion.
Results:The disease incidence of CKD-MBD is more common in male patients i.e. 67.8%. Serum calcium
levels were significantly increased and eGFR was significantly decreased in all patients with CKD at
conclusion compared to baseline.Further, Serum calcium levels were significantly increased at conclusion
in CKD patients without DM and eGFR was significantly decreased at conclusion compared to baseline
in CKD patients with DM. The proportion of untreated patients is high for all the drugs except vitamin D
analogues in both subgroups of CKD patients.
Conclusion:Pharmacological intervention in CKD patients helps in the effective management of mineral
bone disease by maintaining serum calcium, phosphate and calcium phosphorous product status.
Background: High serum phosphate level is associated with increased CVD morbidity and mortality in CKD patients. We sought to compare the efϐicacy of non-calcium containing phosphate binder Sevelamer Carbonate (SC) with Lanthanum Carbonate (LC) in patients with CKD stage 3-5.
Anemia in Chronic Kidney disease is a fascinating area of study both for the Basic scientist and Practising Nephrologist . In this talk , both areas are highlighted with emphasis on erythropoietin .

Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Sodium bicarbonate produces CO2 after buffering plasma protons. This CO2 is then free to diffuse across cell membranes resulting in an intracellular hypercarbic acidemia, while bicarbonate is unable to cross cell membranes to buffer this effect.
Nonbicarbonate Buffers. Bicarbonate buffering results in carbon dioxide production and a lowering of free proton concentration. Lower free protons favors disassociation of nonbicarbonate buffers which, in turn, are buffered again by bicarbonate resulting in increasing carbon dioxide production resulting in a cycle of increasing intracellular carbon dioxide so long as exogenous bicarbonate is administered.
Acceleration of lactate generation — Acidemia may act as a "brake" on lactic acid generation by inhibiting glycolysis, largely mediated by a reduction in the activity of the enzyme, phosphofructokinase [17].
