Population pharmacokinetics and optimized dosing of cefuroxime in critically ill patients

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cefuroxime is a second‐generation cephalosporin widely used in the intensive care unit (ICU). ICU patients have high variability in interpatient pharmacokinetics (PK), but the extent of this variation is unclear. We performed an observational PK study in ICU patients.

Optimizing Peripheral Nerve Block Placement in Hip Surgery: A Cadaveric Study Mapping the Posterior Cutaneous Innervation

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Optimizing analgesia after hip surgery enables more rapid recovery. However, peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) often fail to provide adequate pain relief in the posterolateral hip as they typically target the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh (LCNT).

Renal Arterial Anatomy: Implications for Normothermic Machine Perfusion in Renal Transplantation

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is a novel technology that has shown potential in viability assessment and reconditioning of donor organs. Normothermic machine perfusion is technically more challenging in kidneys with multiple renal arteries (RAs).

Severe Vasoplegic Syndrome Treated with Angiotensin II and Hemoadsorption Therapy after Cardiac Surgery

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vasoplegic syndrome (VS) is a common complication after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The main pathophysiology mechanism of VS includes a systemic inflammatory response syndrome due to surgical trauma, release of pro‐inflammatory mediators caused by blood contact with foreign surfaces of heart‐lung machine (pump and tubing)
