Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

Ketogenic diet therapy for children with super‐refractory status epilepticus in intensive care: International clinical practice recommendations

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective We aimed to create practical recommendations to support healthcare teams starting ketogenic diet therapy (KDT) for children with super‐refractory status epilepticus in intensive care settings. Methods A literature review was conducted to extract published data on patient selection, diet prescription, diet initiation, monitoring, fine‐

Renal Tubular Acidosis [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2002
The term renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is applied to a group of transport defects in the reabsorption of bicarbonate (HCO3−), the excretion of hydrogen ion (H+), or both. This condition was first described in 1935 ([1][1]), confirmed as a renal tubular disorder in 1946 ([2][2]), and designated “

Construction of Chronic Kidney Disease Mouse Model Induced by Diets With Different Adenine Content

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
By administering a 4 weeks adenine diet to C57BL/6J mice, we identified 0.2% adenine in purified feed as the optimal chronic kidney disease model. This model induces severe renal damage, gut dysbiosis, uremic toxin accumulation, and CKD mineral bone disorder, providing a clinically relevant platform for mechanistic and therapeutic studies.

Early prediction of multiple organ failure for sepsis patients based on machine learning algorithms

Journal of Intelligent Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract In recent years, there has been a notable rise in sepsis incidence leading to more multiple organ failure and higher mortality. The lack of effective treatments for sepsis highlights the importance of early prediction in preventing multiple organ failure. This study aimed to develop a model for the early prediction of multiple organ failure in
