This meta-analysis did not find strong evidence that proton pump inhibitors were different from histamine-2 receptor antagonists in terms of stress-related upper gastrointestinal bleeding prophylaxis, pneumonia, and mortality among patients admitted to intensive care units.

We present a 15 year old boy who developed severe rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure following influenza B infection. His renal function was restored after appropriate therapy for rhabdomyolysis. Although rapidly progressive pneumonia, respiratory failure, and acute respiratory distress syndrome are the most common severe complications of influenza B infection, clinicians should be aware that influenza B may be complicated with rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure in children.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
