A case of acute renal failure with multiple origins of the renal injury.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an abrupt and usually reversible decline in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Patients with AKI must be evaluated promptly to determine cause. Different disorders can BE associated with AKI, and biopsy is the most accurate instrument for diagnosis of different types of diseases.

Tailored versus standard dose prophylaxis in children with hemophilia A.

Prophylaxis is universally recognized as the treatment of choice in people with hemophilia, and tailored prophylaxis is the consistent modification of the standard weight-based dosing regimen. A large number of factors guide the choice of a specific tailored regimen, and different regimens are under evaluation. Tailored low-dose frequent regimens are likely to be cost-effective, but they are less accepted by patients.

Effectiveness of cast immobilization in comparison to the gold-standard self-removal orthotic intervention for closed mallet fingers: a randomized clinical trial.

Study Design: Randomized clinical trial.

Introduction: Although orthotic immobilization has become the preferable treatment choice for closed mallet injuries, it is unclear whether orthosis self-removal has an impact on the final outcome.

Purpose: To evaluate the treatment efficacy of cast immobilization of closed mallet fingers using Quickcast(®) (QC) compared to a removable, lever-type thermoplastic orthosis (LTTP).
