Background: Interstitial fibrosis in lupus nephritis (LN) is often infiltrated by immune cells but typically regarded as nonspecific "scar reaction." This study aimed to investigate the relationship between inflammatory fibrosis and kidney disease progression in LN.
Methods: Interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) were scored in 124 LN kidney biopsies.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to develop a machine-learning model to predict the risk of sepsis following retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for kidney stones, including data from 1,552 patients across 16 centers.* -
- Inclusion criteria for patients were specified, and certain conditions like concomitant ureteral stones were excluded, with antibiotic treatments used where applicable.* -
- The Random Forest algorithm outperformed other machine-learning models, achieving high precision, recall, and accuracy, and a web-based version of the predictive tool is available for use in clinical settings.*
Introduction: The aim of this study is to compare outcomes of SRP (salvage radical prostatectomy) with SCAP (salvage cryoablation of the prostate) in local radio-recurrent PCa (prostate cancer) patients.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of a multicentric European Society of Uro-technology (ESUT) database was performed. Data on patients with local recurrent PCa after radiotherapy who underwent salvage treatment were collected.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of coffee consumption on salivary cortisol (sCort) and alpha amylase (sAA) in young adults.
Materials And Methods: Sixty healthy university students, habitual coffee consumers, participated in this descriptive observational study. Participants were divided into three groups: G1 low consumption (≤ 2 cups of coffee per day, n = 20), G2 moderate consumption (2-5 cups of coffee per day, n = 20), and G3 high consumption (>5 cups of coffee per day, n = 20).
