Article Synopsis
- Forniceal rupture due to acute ureteral obstruction is common, but spontaneous ureteral rupture is rare and often associated with kidney stones at the ureteropelvic junction.
- A unique case is presented where stone-induced ureteral rupture occurred below the UPJ, leading to bacterial and fungal superinfections that did not respond to conservative treatment.
- This situation ultimately resulted in the need for nephrectomy and has not been previously reported, highlighting the importance of quick diagnosis and management to prevent severe complications like urinoma, sepsis, and kidney loss.
Article Synopsis
- Decision making in immuno-oncology relies on adapting therapies to the tumor microenvironment (TME), but predicting the optimal combination of treatments remains a challenge.
- A new multiplex functional and dynamic immuno-assay was developed to assess how 43 human primary tumors respond to 12 different immunomodulators, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI).
- This “in sitro” assay shows promise in predicting which tumors might not respond to anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies and in identifying personalized treatment combinations, but further clinical trials are needed to confirm its efficacy.
Introduction: Among the manifestations of Münchausen's syndrome, "neurological" forms may exist.
Observation: We present the case of a patient presenting with urinary retention following treatment for urinary incontinence. The patient had injected himself with infected urine collected from his catheter, in order to create septicemia.
Reports of acute human selenium toxicity are rare. We report 2 new cases. One patient ingested a mouthful of selenic acid (30 g/L); he only suffered mild gastrointestinal disturbances.
