We read with interest the recent AJKD perspective on point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in nephrology and appreciate the authorsā contributions to this field1. We agree that not only is it critical to advance POCUS in nephrology, but as a community, we must ensure that stringent quality criteria are established, maintained, and that competencies are re-evaluated periodically. Rigorous training with direct supervision is key. While the authorās emphasis on training is laudable, they omitted an important existing resource: The American Society of Diagnostic and Interventional Nephrology (ASDIN).

Background Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is the standard of care for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO). The SOFAST study collected clinical evidence on the safety and efficacy of the 6 French SOFIA Flow Plus aspiration catheter (SOFIA 6F) when used as first-line treatment. Methods This was a prospective, multicenter investigation to assess the safety and efficacy of SOFIA 6F used for first-line aspiration. Anterior circulation LVO stroke patients were enrolled. The primary endpoint was the final modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI)ā„2b rate. Secondary endpoints included first-pass and first-line mTICIā„2b rates, times from arteriotomy to clot contact and mTICIā„2b, and 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS)ā¤2. First-line and final mTICI scores were adjudicated by an independent imaging core lab. Safety events were assessed by an independent clinical events adjudicator. Results A total of 108 patients were enrolled across 12 centers from July

Mashup Score: 27Critical insights for intensivists on Guillain-BarrƩ syndrome - Annals of Intensive Care - 15 day(s) ago
Guillain-BarrĆ© Syndrome (GBS) is a leading cause of acute flaccid tetraplegia worldwide, with an incidence of 1ā2 cases per 100,000 people per year. Characterized by an immune-mediated polyneuropathy, GBS often follows infections or immunological triggers, including vaccinations. The syndrome is classified into three main subtypes based on electrophysiological findings: acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP), acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN), and acute motor sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN). The pathophysiology of GBS involves molecular mimicry between microbial antigens and nerve structures, particularly affecting gangliosides and myelin proteins. Diagnosis primarily relies on clinical history, with lumbar puncture and electroneuromyogram used to confirm and differentiate subtypes. Treatment includes intravenous immunoglobulins or therapeutic plasma exchange associated with symptomatic treatment, especially mechanical ventilation if needed. Prognosis is generally

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have become a valuable tool for identifying genetic loci associated with complex traits, including chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, GWAS have important limitations in establishing direct causal links between genetic loci and biological phenotypes or with providing insights into biological pathways. A recent study by Loeb etĀ al,1 published in Nature Genetics, represents a pioneering advancement, addressing critical gaps in prior GWAS investigations and offering new methods for connecting genes identified by GWAS to their functional relevance in kidney disease.
