Does vitamin E prevent renal dysfunction induced by experimental chronic bile duct ligation?
Vitamin E improves MAP and renal function in CBDL rats, and selectively decreases renal levels of oxidative stress and ET, suggesting that local redox balance is implicated in CBDL-induced renal dysfunction.
The contraction of a hospital-acquired infection was a significant predictor of pLOS and a contributor of poor short-term outcome following an ischemic stroke. Whether the cause or the consequence of pLOS, hospital-acquired infections are largely preventable and a target for reducing length of stay.
