The recognition of the importance of proper microcirculatory function has been growing rapidly in recent years, suggesting that improved microcirculatory health can support better outcomes in a wide variety of conditions, both localized and systemic.Optimal microvascular function is critical in regulating blood flow and tissue perfusion, blood pressure, oxygen delivery, and waste removal.
A neglected topic for way too long, the interest in fluid therapy seems to be quickly rising as the medical community is making a shift from looking at fluids as a mere method of stabilization towards the appreciation of its relevant side effects.
Many questions remain to be answered indeed:
Is the upgrade from saline 0.9% to balanced crystalloids worth the extra cost?
Does HES still have a place in the OR?
Do we have to fill the gap left by HES on ICU with crystalloids, other colloids or even albumin?
Is it really impossible to avoid fluid overload by using only crystalloids?
Is there still a definitive place for human albumin?
How do we treat and monitor specific patient populations, like patients with trauma, liver failure, brain edema and right heart failure among others?
How do we avoid a one-size-fits-all regimen in perioperative goal-directed therapy?
What with the fluids beyond resuscitation?
And what do the authors of the big fluid trials do in real life themselves?
The 9th International Fluid Academy Day will again be a 1 day concise meeting on all aspects of fluid managament and hemodynamic monitoring in the critically ill.

Evaluation of Plasma Creatine Kinase Activity and Inorganic Phosphate among S...IOSRJPBS
Background: CK and phosphorus are helpful biomarker for detection of early renal abnormality particularly CK which has been shown to be abetter predicator of acute renal failure. Objectives: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. Conducted in Khartoum and White Nile state from March to June 2016.The aim of this study to assess serum creatine kinase (CK) activity and inorganic phosphate concentrations in Sudanese patients with sickle cell anemia. 80 subjects were enrolled in this study they were classified into 40 with sickle cell disease (SCD) as casegroup and 40 healthy apparently as control group. CK activity and phosphorus level was measured by using Spectrophotometry method. Results: The results showed significantly higher Ck activity in patients with SCD when compared with control group with (P = 0.021), and not significant differences in mean of serum phosphorus concentration in case when compared with control with (P = 0.547). Also show serum CK activity in patients used hydroxyurea when compare with the mean of patients not used hydroxyurea it is significantly decrease with (P= 0.006). Conclusion: The studies conclude that Sickle cell disease is a predictor for high serum CK activity and low serum concentration of inorganic phosphate

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

1. Sodium Bicarbonate Halves Nephropathy Risk
Sodium bicarbonate hydration significantly reduces the risk of contrast-induced
nephropathy (CIN), although the benefits might have been overstated in prior studies,
authors of a meta-analysis concluded.
Compared with saline hydration,sodium bicarbonate halved the risk of
nephropathy, Pascal Meier, M.D., of the University of Michigan, and colleagues
reported online in BMC Medicine.
The studies included in the analysis uniformly demonstrated superiority of
sodium bicarbonate versus saline hydration, the authors said.
"The lack of any study to date showing superiority of saline-based hydration
suggests that baking soda hydration should be considered the optimal hydration in
high-risk patients undergoing exposure to iodinated contrast," the authors concluded.
CIN accounts for about 10% of hospital-acquired renal failure, and intrarenal
accumulation of reactive oxygen species has been postulated as a possible cause of
CIN.
The theory has provided a rationale for sodium bicarbonate hydration, which
may lead to tubular fluid alkalinization that diminishes production of free oxygen
radicals, the authors said.
Previous studies, including meta-analyses, yielded conflicting results regarding
the safety and efficacy of sodium bicarbonate hydration versus saline. In an effort to
resolve the statistical impasse, the authors performed an updated meta-analysis that
included published and unpublished data.
Their literature search turned up multiple sources of data reported or presented
from 1990 through Dec. 15, 2008. The authors ultimately used data from 17 clinical
trials involving a total of 2,633 patients.
The analysis disclosed 109 cases of CIN in 1,327 patients who received sodium
bicarbonate hydration, compared with 175 cases in 1,306 patients treated with saline.
The difference translated into an odds ratio for CIN of 0.52 in favor of sodium
bicarbonate (95% CI 0.34-0.81, P<0.004).
2. The authors calculated that 16 patients would have to receive sodium bicarbonate
hydration to prevent one case of CIN.
Need for dialysis and mortality (secondary endpoints) did not differ between
sodium bicarbonate and saline. Stratified analyses showed a more dramatic effect of
sodium bicarbonate hydration in two trials that exclusively involved patients
undergoing emergency procedures (OR 0.10, 95% CI 0.02-0.42, P=0.002).
The benefits of sodium bicarbonate diminished somewhat in patients undergoing
elective procedures but remained statistically significant (OR 0.63, 95% CI 0.43-0.92,
P=0.017).
Similarly, analysis by type of contrast agent showed a greater benefit with
sodium bicarbonate in patients who received low-osmolar contrast media (OR 0.29,
95% CI 0.15-0.57) versus iso-molar iodixanol (OR 0.73, 95% CI 0.32-1.64, NS).
Exploratory analyses showed a greater benefit of sodium bicarbonate hydration
in the eight published studies (OR 0.4, 95% CI 0.21-0.76, P=0.005) than in the nine
unpublished studies (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.34-1.21, NS).
Moreover, two published studies that were stopped early showed a greater
benefit with sodium bicarbonate 99% than did the six studies that completed
enrollment and follow-up. Exclusion of those two trials resulted in a lower estimated
benefit (OR 0.60, 95% CI 0.40-0.91, P=0.016).
