We present the case of a newborn diagnosed with perinatal asphyxia and secondary renal injuries, transposition of the great vessels and low systemic blood flow, treated with Prostaglandin, atrioseptostomy, followed by arterial switch surgery After the cardiac surgery the patient is oliguric and requires hemodiafiltration for 12 days, after which renal function is restored. In evolution, however, AVB (atrioventricular block) grade III occurs, followed by implanta-tion of permanent pacemaker, but another postoperative complication – chylothorax – leads to stopping electrical stimulation followed by severe cardiac dysfunction and, consequently, recurrent renal injury and anuria. Re-estab-lishing hemodiafiltration for another 7 days without recovery of renal function. Perinatal asphyxia, cardiac heart disease with low systemic blood flow, prostaglandin, atrioseptostomy, cardiac rhythms disturbances, chylothorax, sepsis, cardiac arrest are intriguing factors that bring renal injury. Their association greatly decreases the chance of survival even if the patient benefits from supportive treatment and early hemodiafiltration.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the relationship between the levels of mindfulness and work-life balance at the Romanian young population. In the process of enhancing our levels of work-life balance, satisfaction or well being, mindfulness plays an essential role, proved by its practice and its applications. The quality of our professional life is a significant contributor to our quality of life as a whole. When society provides a qualitative professional life to its citizens, it also proves itself worthy of attracting and retaining employees. Mindfulness is not an independent concept, but one which positively influences multiple areas or dimensions of an individual’s life. These dimensions include: perspective, connection, choice, and self-knowledge. The subjects of this study were 60 young people, aged between 20-35. All of them were either students or graduates of higher education institutions. The methods used for this study were two questionnaires: the first one was a questionnaire for identifying the level of mindfulness, based on four dimensions – observe, describe, act with awareness and accept without judgement – and the second one – a scale for measuring the level of work-life balance. The results were processed in SPSS Statistics using the T-test for independent samples and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. The results showed a strong relationship between the levels of mindfulness and work-life balance of the Romanian young population.

Prezentăm cazul unui nou-născut diagnosticat cu suferintă perinatală și injurie renală secundară, transpoziție de vase mari și debit sistemic scăzut, tratat cu prostaglandină, atrioseptostomie, urmate de operația de switch arterial. Postoperator, pacientul este oliguric și necesită hemodiafiltrare pentru 12 zile, după care funcția renală este resta-bilită. În evoluție, apare bloc atrioventricular (BAV) grad III, urmat de implantare de stimulator cardiac permanent, dar o altă complicație postoperatorie – chilotorax – duce la oprirea stimulării electrice, urmată de disfuncție cardia-că severă și, consecutiv, injurie renală recurentă și anurie. Se reinstituie hemodiafiltrarea pentru încă 7 zile, fără recuperarea funcției renale. Asfixia perinatală, malformația cardiacă cu debit sistemic scăzut, prostaglandina, atri-oseptostomia, circulația extracoroporeală, tulburările de ritm, chilotoraxul, sepsisul, stopul cardiac sunt factori intri-caţi care aduc injurie renală importantă. Asocierea lor scade major șansele de supraviețuire chiar dacă pacientul beneficiază de tratament suportiv și hemodiafiltrare precoce.
