Abstract Carrier screening for genetic conditions performed preconception or during pregnancy allows identification of fetal risk for inherited autosomal recessive and X‐linked conditions. The goal is to identify at‐risk patients/couples and offer them reproductive options such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis, prenatal testing, or targeted newborn

Disturbances of sodium in critically ill adult neurologic patients: A clinical review [PDF]
Disorders of sodium and water balance are common in critically ill adult neurologic patients. Normal aspects of sodium and water regulation are reviewed. The etiology of possible causes of sodium disturbance is discussed in both the general inpatient and

Abstract Background G protein‐coupled receptors are a large and functionally diverse family of membrane receptors involved in a number of biological processes. Like other proteins, G protein‐coupled receptors need to be properly folded in order to traffic to the plasma membrane and interact with agonist.

V2 vasopressin receptor mutations: future personalized therapy based on individual molecular biology
The diluting and concentrating function of the kidney plays a crucial role in regulating the water homeostasis of the body. This function is regulated by the antidiuretic hormone, arginine vasopressin through the type 2 vasopressin receptor (V2R ...

Summary Sodium‐glucose co‐transporter‐2 inhibitors are routinely withheld before surgery to reduce the risk of peri‐operative metabolic complications. However, their pharmacodynamic effects may persist beyond the recommended discontinuation period. We report a 67‐year‐old man with type 2 diabetes who developed severe postoperative polyuria (6–7 l.day−1)

Physiological basis of arginine vasopressin deficiency (AVP-D, formerly central diabetes insipidus) and AVP-resistance (AVP-R, formerly nephrogenic diabetes insipidus) [PDF]
This review explored the physiological mechanisms underlying arginine vasopressin deficiency (AVP-D, formerly central diabetes insipidus) and AVP resistance (AVP-R, formerly nephrogenic diabetes insipidus), with a focus on water balance regulation. Vital

Evolutionary aspects in evaluating mutations in the melanocortin 4 receptor [PDF]
More than 70 missense mutations have been identified in the human melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R), and many of them have been associated with obesity. In a number of cases, the causal link between mutations in MC4R and obesity is controversially discussed.

Nephrotoxicity and Modern Volatile Anesthetics: A Narrative Review
Volatile anesthetics, while increasingly utilized in intensive care medicine, are associated with significant renal adverse effects. A critical safety concern—particularly with sevoflurane—involves its potential impact on renal function ...
