A translational study of Galectin-3 as an early biomarker and potential therapeutic target for ischemic-reperfusion induced acute kidney injury
Abstract Purpose: We evaluated Galectin-3 (Gal-3) as a potential early biomarker of acute kidney disease (AKI), and the effect of Gal-3 inhibition by modified citrus pectin (P-MCP) on renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) induced AKI. Methods: Among fifty-two post-cardiac surgery patients, serum and urine Gal-3 levels were examined on intensive care unit (ICU) admission. In a rat renal I/R ...

Elevated Preoperative Galectin-3 Is Associated With Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery
Annotations Preoperative serum Gal-3 was measured in 1498 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery and/or valve. Patients in the highest third of Gal-3 levels had 2.95-greater odds of developing KDIGO Stage 2 or 3 (p < 0.001) and 1.71-increased odds of developing KDIGO Stage 1 (p = 0.001), compared to the lowest third. Elevated preoperative Gal-3 levels significantly ...

The medico-legal and ethical considerations associated with intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring in the USA: overview and proposed guidelines for legal and risk management professionals
Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, known by the acronym IONM, is a method for monitoring and recording the inner neurological activity of a patient undergoing surgery. When using conventional means of monitoring, neurological damage during surgery may go undetected. IONM prevents this by indicating what is going on within a patient, often in real time, enabling surgeons to change ...
