Patients with traumatic injuries who develop ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) incur a higher risk of developing multi-drug resistance. Shorter duration of antibiotic agents for early VAP at five days may reduce antibiotic agent exposure without worsening patient outcomes. This retrospective cohort study performed at a Level I Trauma Center included adult (≥16 years old) patients with trauma diagnosed with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL)-proven early (within four days of intubation) bacterial VAP.

Objective: Cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (Cis-AKI) is a significant cause of renal damage, characterized by tubular injury, ferroptosis, and oxidative stress. While therapeutic options for Cis-AKI remain limited, identifying novel targets to prevent kidney injury is critical. This study focuses on GALNT14, a gene associated with ferroptosis, and its potential role in mitigating Cis-AKI.
