[Analysis of clinical Risk and adoption of shared procedures: experience of nephrology and dialysis unit of ASL BA].

Currently, English scientific literature is lacking in studies showing that medical assistance may be delivered without errors. Since two years ago, the department of nephrology and urology of ASL BA has been establishing a process of clinical risk management.Starting with the reporting of a single error, a related database was subsequently developed, in order to validate technical and organizational procedures that would be of common use in the daily clinical practice.

[A rare case of acute renal failure related to amanita proxima ingestion].

Objective: The first cases of acute renal tubulopathy related to Amanita proxima poisoning were described in 1994; the mushroom contains a toxin responsible for the allenic-norleucine syndrome, characterised by a kidney damage that occur earlier than in Cortinarius orellanus poisoning and generally improve with complete resolution within ten days.

Case Report: A 45 years old woman was admitted to the hospital because of nausea, vomiting, and heartburn started the day before. Symptoms occurred eight hours after eating a single big wild mushroom; three friends who had the same meal were all asymptomatic.

[It's not always a cyst].

Congenital arteriovenous renal fistulas are rare malformations due to abnormal communications between arterial and the venous systems. There are two types of congenital arteriovenous malformations: crisoid or, as in the present study, aneurysmal. Hematuria is the major and most common symptom, along with other clinical manifestations, such as hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, cardiac failure, and abdominal pain, but the congenital aneurysmatic arteriovenous renal fistulas can be also asymptomatic.

Effects of pre- or post-exercise low-level laser therapy (830 nm) on skeletal muscle fatigue and biochemical markers of recovery in humans: double-blind placebo-controlled trial.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) before and after exercise on quadriceps muscle performance, and to evaluate the changes in serum lactate and creatine kinase (CK) levels.

Methods: The study was randomized, double blind, and placebo controlled.

Patients: A sample of 27 healthy volunteers (male soccer players) were divided into three groups: placebo, pre-fatigue laser, and post-fatigue laser.

Effect of low-level laser therapy (660 nm) on acute inflammation induced by tenotomy of Achilles tendon in rats.

In this study, we aimed to analyze the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT; 660 nm) on levels of protein expression of inflammatory mediators after cutting Achilles tendon of rats. Thirty Wistar male rats underwent partial incisions of the left Achilles tendon, and were divided into three groups of 10 animals according to the time of euthanasia after injury: 6, 24 and 72 h. Each group was then divided into control group and LLLT group (treated with 100 mW, 3.
