Background: Preoperative physical frailty is a significant predictor of adverse postoperative outcomes in older patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Inflammation plays a crucial role in the development of frailty and contributes to postoperative complications. This study investigated the effects of preoperative beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB), arginine, and glutamine supplementation on inflammatory markers, nutritional status, and renal function in older patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

(TM) is a common opportunistic infection among patients with AIDS, characterized by rapid systemic dissemination and a high mortality rate. Early identification of patients at risk of death is critical to improving clinical outcomes. Despite the severity of disseminated TM infection (DPSM), few predictive tools exist to assess mortality risk in affected AIDS patients.

Background And Aims: Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a rare autoimmune disease of platelet destruction with an unclear mechanism of pathogenesis. A well-known mechanism is the phagocytosis of antibody-coated platelets by the reticuloendothelial system. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a factor in the serum of patients, facilitating this process.

Background: With an annual incidence of up to 30%, cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) may be one of the most underestimated yet common complications, hence reno-protective interventions are critical. We evaluated the impact of hemoadsorption (HA) on clinical outcomes in KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) G2/A2 patients (GFR 60-89 ml/min/1.73 m and 30-300 mg/g albuminuria) undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
