Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis in Patients with Chronic Venous Catheters: A Case Report and Literature Review

Chronic indwelling catheters have been reported to be associated with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) via the activation of the classical complement pathway in association with bacterial infections such as coagulase negative staphylococcus.We herein provide supporting evidence for the direct causal relationship between chronic cathe

Calpains play an essential role in mechanical ventilation-induced diaphragmatic weakness and mitochondrial dysfunction

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving intervention for many critically ill patients.Unfortunately, an unintended consequence of prolonged MV is the rapid development of diaphragmatic atrophy and contractile dysfunction, known as ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD).Although the mechanism(s) responsible for VIDD are not fully under
