Article Synopsis
- Somatic symptoms, often seen in postpartum major depressive disorder, can mimic antidepressant side effects, prompting this study to explore their correlation with depressive symptom declines measured by specific scales.
- This research involved a secondary analysis of a previous trial with 62 participants, comparing the effects of sertraline and estradiol against placebos over 8 weeks, focusing on symptoms tracked by the SIGH-ADS and Asberg scales.
- Results showed a positive correlation between decreases in both depressive and somatic symptoms, highlighting the need to differentiate between true side effects and symptoms of the underlying condition in postpartum treatment.
Article Synopsis
- * About 9.8% of the patients died during hospitalization, with older individuals and those with preexisting kidney issues showing higher mortality rates due to severe injuries and complications.
- * Key factors influencing mortality included age, injury severity, shock, and certain elevated lab values, highlighting the need for better disaster preparedness and health care improvements for future events.
Article Synopsis
- Millions are affected by natural disasters annually, leading to serious medical issues like crush syndrome, which often results in acute kidney injury tied to high mortality rates.
- This study analyzed data from 1024 patients with crush syndrome after the February 2023 earthquakes in Kahramanmaras, focusing on their treatment and outcomes in Turkish hospitals.
- The findings revealed high rates of acute kidney injury and hemodialysis treatment, with a 9.8% in-hospital mortality rate, highlighting the urgent need for improved emergency response training and protocols for managing kidney health in disaster scenarios.
We present an unusual etiology of primary renal allograft dysfunction attributed to myeloma cast nephropathy in a patient with no history of multiple myeloma before kidney transplant. The patient, a 54-year-old woman, had been on hemodialysis for 6 months before transplant for presumed diabetic nephropathy; she developed graft dysfunction immediately after transplant. Graft biopsy specimens were consistent with myeloma cast nephropathy, and she was treated with bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone.
