August 2025. doi:10.1097/ALN.0000000000005711 This randomized trial evaluated whether intraoperative urine-guided hydration could reduce acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and cisplatin-based hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for pseudomyxoma peritonei. A total of 168 adults were randomized to either urine-guided hydration (targeting ≥3 mL·kg⁻¹·h⁻¹ or ≥200 mL·h⁻¹) […]

August 2025. doi:10.1097/ALN.0000000000005710 This exploratory study examined the ventilatory effects of fentanyl in healthy volunteers using a pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic modeling approach. Twelve subjects received five sequential clinical doses of fentanyl (totaling 350 µg over two hours), with ventilatory parameters and end-tidal CO₂ monitored. Three models were tested: one describing […]
