Crush syndrome a review...

This narrative review aims to provide a focused overview and update on Crush Syndrome (CS) for prehospital providers and emergency clinicians, particularly in the context of increasing frequency of mass casualty events. CS is a severe systemic manifestation of trauma and ischemia involving skeletal muscle due to prolonged crushing, with reported mortality up to 48% among earthquake survivors. The review stresses the critical need for immediate, aggressive resuscitation (including massive fluid administration) beginning ideally before extrication to mitigate severe systemic effects like hypovolemic shock, hyperkalemia, and kidney dysfunction, noting the challenges in timely diagnosis and treatment during large-scale natural disasters.

Philosophy of Physiology – Elements in the Philosophy of Biology (2025) Maël Lemoine

Time is ripe to complement the question “what is health and disease?” in philosophy of medicine with a “philosophy of physiology.” Indeed, the actors in this debate share the conviction that a “foundational” concept dictates to this scientific field what is to be considered healthy or pathological and leaves it to explore only facts and mechanisms. Rejecting this presupposition, philosophy of physiology accepts that biomedical sciences explore and redefine their own object: the healthy, the pathological. Indeed, various theories of disease and health, that philosophers have rarely studied, form the core of biomedical research, too hastily considered as a science “without theories.” The Element identifies them, and clarifies their content, presuppositions, and scope.
