Keynote webinar | Spotlight on sleep in brain health

LIVE: Thursday 2nd May 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

Quality sleep is essential for health. But what happens to our brains when sleep patterns are disturbed? Join our experts to explore the interplay between sleep disruption and neurological diseases, and the questions that you need to be asking your patients to help you prevent the harmful effects of sleep deprivation.

Excerpt

Acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients has been largely regarded as a consequence but not as a cause of sepsis [1, 2]. Indeed, most studies focused on incidence, risk factors, and prognosis of sepsis-induced AKI [3] demonstrating its association with a high mortality rate [4] as well as longer hospital stay [5]. Studies addressing the underlying histopathology and pathophysiology of septic AKI have revealed that renal blood flow, both medullar and cortical, was maintained and even increased during severe septic shock [6], undermining earlier concepts and reinforcing the hypothesis that septic AKI is a separate physiological entity from nonseptic AKI. Further evidence for this was provided when it was demonstrated that there was an important role for apoptosis, rather than just necrosis, in sepsis and septic shock [7, 8]. …
