Soil microorganisms are essential for maintaining ecosystem functionality, particularly through their role in the nitrogen (N) biogeochemical cycle. Thus, they also contribute to greenhouse gas emissions from soils. Microorganisms are sensitive indicators of soil health, as they respond rapidly to disturbances caused by factors like unsustainable agricultural practices or industrial activities, such as mining.

: The tacrolimus concentration-to-dose (C/D) ratio is valuable for optimizing nephrotoxicity-related renal outcomes. Prospective data on the C/D ratio in kidney transplant recipients newly treated with MeltDose tacrolimus are limited. We analyzed the C/D ratio pattern of MeltDose tacrolimus and its effect on posttransplant renal function, comparing it with the literature data on immediate-release tacrolimus (IR-Tac).

Article Synopsis
  • Genetic testing is now standard for cancer diagnoses, but it's rare to find patients with multiple simultaneous genetic disorders, prompting the need for targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) and comprehensive evaluations.
  • Two sisters with neck tumors were diagnosed with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2A) and familial paraganglioma syndrome type 1 (FPGL1) after surgery and genetic testing showed specific mutations in the RET and SDHD genes.
  • This case highlights the unusual occurrence of multiple hereditary syndromes occurring in related individuals and stresses the importance of thorough genetic assessment in such scenarios.

Kidneys play an essential role in the circulatory system, regulating blood pressure and intravascular volume. They are also set on maintaining an adequate filtration pressure in the glomerulus. During the CPB, a decrease in systemic blood pressure and hemoglobin concentration may lead to renal ischemia and subsequent acute kidney injury.
