Immediate Postoperative Serum Albumin as an Adjunctive Triage Aid for Early Acute Kidney Injury in Neonates After Non-Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study

This retrospective cohort study of 843 neonates undergoing non-cardiac surgery demonstrates that lower immediate postoperative serum albumin levels are independently associated with increased acute kidney injury risk, with a cutoff of 27 g/L offering a high negative predictive value (95.4%) to serve as a rapid rule-out adjunct for early AKI triage.

Disease-duration-associated ALPS asymmetry in migraine: a case-control DTI-ALPS study

This case-control DTI-ALPS study of 89 participants found that while migraine status itself did not alter ALPS values, longer disease duration was associated with a specific reduction in leftward ALPS asymmetry, and higher baseline left-hemisphere ALPS predicted increased future acute medication use.
