Nurse-led renal cell carcinoma clinic: a single center review.

Background: In 2015 our centre introduced a nurse-led renal cell cancer follow-up protocol and clinic for patients who have undergone partial or radical nephrectomy for organ-confined kidney tumours. The main aims of this clinic were to improve healthcare efficiency and standardize follow-up processes.

Objectives: The primary objective was to assess the effectiveness of a nurse-led renal cell cancer follow up clinic in regard to surveillance protocol compliance and the timely identification and appropriate management of recurrences.

Social life cycle assessment for industrial product development: A comprehensive review and analysis.

The sustainable development goals outlined in the 2030 Agenda encompass a range of global challenges aimed at promoting prosperity and security for both current and future generations. Within this context, the Social Life Cycle Assessment emerges as a valuable tool for assessing the socioeconomic impact assessment associated with the life cycle of industrial products. Despite the presence of a methodological framework with a structured process, the implementation of the Social Life Cycle Assessment within the industrial domain is hampered by the lack of precise indicators, context-specific databases, limited case studies, and the dynamic characteristics inherent in social data.

Naturopathic Management of Acute Pediatric Respiratory Infections: A Modified Delphi Study.

Both the United Nations and the World Health Organization have identified antimicrobial resistance as a significant threat to global health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified five pediatric respiratory conditions as requiring particular scrutiny in terms of antibiotic stewardship. This study sought to identify strategies used by experienced naturopathic practitioners to treat acute respiratory infections in children.

Technetium-99 m-sestamibi single-photon emission computerised tomography (CT)/CT in the prediction of malignant versus benign small renal masses.

Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of technetium-99m ( Tc)-sestamibi single-photon emission computerised tomography/computerised tomography (SPECT/CT) in distinguishing between malignant and benign renal lesions.

Patients And Methods: Between June 2018 and October 2020 all patients with new indeterminate small renal masses (SRMs) underwent Tc-sestamibi renal SPECT/CT before biopsy or surgery. The accuracy of Tc-sestamibi imaging diagnoses was assessed against histopathology.

High rate of de novo esophagitis 5 years after sleeve gastrectomy: a prospective multicenter study in Spain.

Background: Major concerns years after the sleeve gastrectomy (SG) include weight regain, development of hiatal hernia (HH) and gastroesophageal reflux disease, with esophagitis and Barrett's esophagus (BE). Both problems could be related, and the incidence of asymptomatic patients is troubling.

Objective: To study the incidence of reflux symptoms, esophagitis, BE, HH, and asymptomatic pathology and their relationship with weight regain in patients 5 years after undergoing SG at different bariatric centers in Spain.
