Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common syndrome in hospitalized patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The focus of AKI care requires a shift away from strictly supportive management of established injury to the early identification and timely prevention of worsening renal injury. Identifying patients at risk for developing or progression of severe AKI is crucial for improving patient outcomes, reducing the length of hospitalization and minimizing resource utilization.

The algorithm is based on the trapezoidal shaping algorithm and improves it. At the extreme counting rate, the trapezoidal shaping algorithm cannot alleviate the pulse pileup, so the counting rate cannot meet the requirements of a high performance detector.

While rare, it warrants consideration as a potential differential diagnosis, particularly in patients without a history of melanoma who present with persistent hematuria due to its aggressive nature. We present a case of a 55-year-old female with malignant melanoma involving the colon and urinary bladder presenting with hematuria.

Defects in the electron transport layer (ETL) and ETL/perovskite interface greatly affect the power conversion efficiency (PCE) and stability of PSCs. In the paper, the surface of tin dioxide (SnO) ETL was modified by an alkali metal salt (NaBr, KBr, and RbBr) solution to optimize electron transport and passivate SnO/perovskite.
