Background: It is unclear whether different modes of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) impact post-filter ionized calcium concentrations during regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) when using calcium-containing replacement fluid.
Methods: This prospective, single-center, observational cohort study will screen all patients receiving CRRT for eligibility. General clinical information will be collected before commencing CRRT treatment. Patients will be randomly assigned to either the continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) or continuous veno-venous hemodialysis (CVVHD) group and switch to the alternative mode in the subsequent treatment session. Pre-filter and post-filter ionized calcium, systemic total and ionized calcium, and effluent total calcium will be measured 2 h after the initiation of CRRT. Electrolyte levels, arterial blood gases, hourly citrate dose, and total citrate dose will be recorded every 6 h until the end of CRRT. The primary outcome is the difference in ionized calcium concentrations at each site over time between the two modes.
Discussion: This study will build upon clinical practice to explore the differential effects of various CRRT modes on ionized and total calcium in patients undergoing RCA-CRRT with calcium-containing replacement solutions.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) assays are not standardized and therefore PTH results are interpreted using manufacturer-provided assay-specific reference intervals. Assay-specific PTH reference intervals, however, do not account for between-assay differences and lead to discordance in the diagnosis of normocalcaemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NCPHPT). PTH increases with age independent of vitamin D, renal function, phosphate and ionized calcium.

Retinal neovascularization is one of the most prevalent fundus neovascular diseases, affecting vision and potentially leading to severe complications, such as retinal detachment or irreversible blindness. Current treatments primarily involve intravitreal injections (IVT) of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents. However, such treatment often requires repeated injections, develop incomplete responses, and are associated with adverse effects.

Background: The primary goals of surgical management in thyroid disorders are the treatment of malignancy, goiter, and thyrotoxicosis, while adhering to the principle of 'primum non nocere'. Hypocalcemia is among the most common complications, primarily resulting from inadvertent injury to the parathyroid glands.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 2015-2023 records of Polish pediatric patients who underwent thyroid surgery.

Early onset familial Alzheimer's disease (EOFAD) is rare compared to sporadic AD, but dominant variants in genes involved in amyloid β (Aβ) processing are well-described. One such variant is in the presenilin 2 (PSEN2) gene, N141I, and was first described in a family with Volga German descent. Separately, individuals with Down syndrome (DS) are also at risk for early onset AD, having an extra copy of an amyloid precursor protein gene.

Study on the mechanism of Fangxia Dihuang Formula(FXDH) in treating breast cancer complicated with depression through the regulation of M1/M2 microglial polarization via the PERK/eIF2α axis. In addition to control group and 4T1 group, a mouse model of breast cancer complicated with depression was established using 4T1 cells combined with corticosterone. The mice were divided into model group, PERK/eIF2α signaling axis agonist(CCT020312, 2 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)) group, CCT020312(2 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)) + FXDH(13.
