Swallowing disorders as a predictor of unsuccessful extubation: a clinical evaluation
Unsuccessful extubation may be due to a swallowing dysfunction that causes airway obstruction and impairs ability to cough. Would a swallowing assessment before extubation be helpful?

Generation of three-dimensional prototype models based on cone beam computed tomography
Conclusions Generating three-dimensional models based on CBCT datasets is possible. Automated routine fabrication of these models, with
the given infrastructure, is too time-consuming and therefore too expensive.

Clinical review: drug metabolism and nonrenal clearance in acute kidney injury
Decreased renal drug clearance is an obvious consequence of acute kidney injury (AKI). However, there is growing evidence to suggest that non-renal drug clearance is also affected. Data derived from human and animal studies suggest that hepatic drug metabolism and transporter function are components of non-renal clearance affected by AKI. AKI may also impair the clearance of formed metabolites. The fact that AKI does not solely impact kidney function may have important implications for drug dosing not only of renally eliminated drugs but those that are hepatically cleared as well.
A review of the literature addressing the topic of drug metabolism and clearance alterations in AKI reveals that the changes in non-renal clearance are highly complicated, poorly studied, yet possibly, quite comm......
