Volume expansion mitigates Shiga toxin-producing E. coli-hemolytic uremic syndrome in children
ConclusionsThis study suggests that volume expansion may be associated with the mitigation of the acute course of STEC-HUS, especially severe neurological involvement and the development of CKD. Prospective trials should lead to standardized protocols for volume expansion in children with STEC-HUS.Graphical abstractA higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available asSupplementary information (Source: Pediatric Nephrology)

Unilateral Do-Not-Attempt-Resuscitation Orders: How Did We Get Here and Where Are We Going?
1. Utilizing a case-based approach, participants will self-report an understanding of the historical context of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, do-not-attempt-resuscitation (DNAR) orders, and unilateral do-not-attempt-resuscitation (UDNAR) orders.2. Utilizing a case-based approach, participants will self report a knowledge of the ethical principles involved with UDNAR orders as well as concerns for unequal utilization of UDNAR orders for underserved populations.

Inflammatory breast cancer: Epidemiologic data and therapeutic results
In this study, we reviewed the literature using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database compared to other published series. We observed that in the high incidence areas (North of Africa) when compared to "classical" breast cancer, IBC was associated to younger age (less than 50 years) with rapid evolution of signs and symptoms (in less than 3 up to 6 months), and more aggressive clinical and histopathological-molecular parameters, due to the predominance of triple-negative and HER2+ subtypes in around 60% of cases. An epidemiologic trend was observed in both high and low incidence areas since the ei...

The history of Ervin Bauer's publications on the theory of life
Biosystems. 2024 Apr 16:105212. doi: 10.1016/j.biosystems.2024.105212. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTErvin Bauer (1890-1938) made historical contributions to contemporary biology, provided a new definition of life, defined the contents of theoretical biology. He worked in different countries, perturbed by deep historical events. These historical events necessarily impacted his fate and finally led to the violent loss of his life and the life of his wife. His work and with it his theory of life had a no less complicated history than the history of his personal life. Bauer's main work "Theoretical Biology" was published in 1...

I offer five points to expand on their contribution.

Named after the historical city of M értola, in southern Portugal, theMertolenga is one of the fifteen autochthonous bovine breeds of Portugal. It is a cattle breed thoroughly adapted to the poor Mediterranean pastures of the southern regions of the Iberian Peninsula. It is used predominantly in an extensive to semi-intensive sylvopastoral production system ...
