s could offer a valuable orientation for long COVID-related research and clinical care. This retrospective cohort study aimed to determine whether having a COPC predicts the onset of long COVID features using US electronic health records and 1:1 propensity score matching without replacement. The study cohorts included (1) people with acute COVID (n = 1,038,402), (2) people with acute influenza (n = 262,092), and (3) a noninfected cohort comprising people with a routine healthcare encounter (n = 1,081,593). Having a COPC increased the risk of long COVID features in all 3 study cohorts. Among those with COVID, having a pre-existing COPC increased the risk by 1.47 (95% CI = 1.46, 1.47). In the influenza cohort, COPCs increased the risk by 1.39 (95% CI = 1.38, 1.40). In the noninfected cohort, COPCs increased the risk by 1.57 (95% CI = 1.56, 1.59). These findings reinforce the likelihood that nociplastic mechanisms play a prominent role in long COVID. Recognizing that this ubiquitous nonsp

f eGFR laboratory data and case report forms had not been completed. This resulted in a small number of kidney composite events and a nominal effect of sotagliflozin versus placebo on this outcome. This exploratory analysis uses laboratory eGFR data, regardless of case report form completion, to assess the effects of sotagliflozin on the predefined kidney composite end point in the SCORED trial and additional cardiorenal composite end points. Methods SCORED was a multicenter, randomized trial evaluating cardiorenal outcomes with sotagliflozin versus placebo in 10,584 patients with type 2 diabetes and CKD. This exploratory analysis used laboratory data to derive the eGFR components and case report form data for the non-laboratory–defined components that together made up the kidney and cardiorenal composites. AKI was also assessed in this dataset. Results Using laboratory data, 223 events were identified, and sotagliflozin reduced the risk of the composite of first event of sustained ≥50

Mashup Score: 0Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Identifies Response of Renal... : Journal of the American Society of Nephrology - 5 hour(s) ago
se renal lymphatic endothelial cells in quiescent and cisplatin-injured kidneys. Lymphatic endothelial cell gene expression changes were confirmed in ischemia–reperfusion injury and in cultured lymphatic endothelial cells, validating renal lymphatic endothelial cells single-cell RNA sequencing data. This study is the first to describe renal lymphatic endothelial cell heterogeneity and uncovers molecular pathways demonstrating lymphatic endothelial cells regulate the local immune response to AKI. These findings provide insights into previously unidentified molecular pathways for lymphatic endothelial cells and roles that may serve as potential therapeutic targets in limiting the progression of AKI. Background The inflammatory response to AKI likely dictates future kidney health. Lymphatic vessels are responsible for maintaining tissue homeostasis through transport and immunomodulatory roles. Owing to the relative sparsity of lymphatic endothelial cells in the kidney, past sequencing eff

site B was in the Northeast. Patients: Patients 18 years old or older admitted to a study ICU between March 1, 2017, and February 28, 2020. Interventions: None. Measurements and Main Results: We applied target trial emulation to compare admission during an intensivist’s first week (as a proxy for 2 wk of maximal continuity) vs. admission during their second week (as a proxy for 1 wk of maximal continuity). Outcomes included hospital mortality, ICU length of stay, and, for mechanically ventilated patients, duration of ventilation. Exploratory outcomes included imaging, echocardiogram, and consultation orders. We used inverse probability weighting to adjust for baseline differences and random-effects meta-analysis to calculate overall effect estimates. Among 2571 patients, 1254 were admitted during an intensivist’s first week and 1317 were admitted during a second week. At sites A and B, hospital mortality rates were 25.8% and 24.2%, median ICU length of stay were 4 and 2 days, and media

questions related to contrast delivery via the ECMO circuit, and modifications to ECMO settings and scanning techniques, to avoid non-diagnostic CT scans. The approach is described in detail for patients supported on VA ECMO, with the return cannula sited in the femoral artery. Lesser modifications required for veno-venous ECMO (VV ECMO) are included in the supplemental material. Establishing a common understanding between the intensive care clinician, the CT radiographer, and the radiologist, concerning the patient’s blood-flow-physiology, is the overarching goal. Our stepwise approach facilitates clear communication around modifications to the ECMO pump settings, contrast route and rate, as well as the scanning technique, for each individual scenario….

Quaternary children’s hospital PICU. PATIENTS: Children without a preexisting tracheostomy who received greater than or equal to 3 days of invasive ventilation, survived hospitalization, and completed greater than or equal to 1 postdischarge data collection. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: We evaluated 144 children measuring HRQL using proxy-report Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory and functional status using the Functional Status Scale (FSS) reflecting preillness baseline, PICU and hospital discharge, and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after hospital discharge. They had a median age of 5.3 years (interquartile range, 1.1–13.0 yr), 58 (40%) were female, 45 (31%) had a complex chronic condition, and 110 (76%) had normal preillness FSS scores. Respiratory failure etiologies included lung disease (n = 49; 34%), neurologic failure (n = 23; 16%), and septic shock (n = 22; 15%). At 1-month postdischarge, 68 of 122 (56%) reported worsened HRQL and 35 (29%) had a new functional i
