This kind of standalone software is having a major impact on the delivery of medical care worldwide, and has the potential to transform patient care in ways that were unimaginable a few years ago."2 While I’m sure many institutions saw or maybe even browsed through the newly released guidance, I’m guessing they didn’t give it a second ...
Methods: Among fifty-two post-cardiac surgery patients, serum and urine Gal-3 levels were examined on intensive care unit (ICU) admission. In a rat renal I/R injury model, Gal-3 levels, renal function, and histopathology were evaluated in rats pretreated with P-MCP for one week (n = 16) compared to controls (n = 16). Results: Among post-cardiac surgery ...
The need for providing dialysis to patients in the ICU has increased overtime. Delivery of this care is challenging to health care systems (HCS) both in costs and ...
Methods: In 57 patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with sepsis, serum Gal-3 was examined as a predictor of ICU mortality and development of AKI. ...
Background: There are an estimated 300,000 deaths from acute kidney injury (AKI) annually in the U.S.1 A mountain of growing clinical literature has shown that hourly urine output (UO) monitoring may lead to earlier recognition of AKI and better fluid management, thus improving outcomes.2 However, there are multiple obstacles preventing nurses from getting timely readings as well as increased ...

The purpose of this case study is to highlight ways in which medical algorithms can be integrated into the clinical decision making process. This case study is the first of a series focused on sepsis, a common but complex clinical problem. Use of algorithms can help healthcare providers diagnose sepsis early. Throughout our discussion, appropriate algorithms are suggested to help clinicians ...
