Primary nonfunction of renal allograft secondary to acute oxalate nephropathy.

Primary nonfunction (PNF) accounts for 0.6 to 8% of renal allograft failure, and the focus on causes of PNF has changed from rejection to other causes. Calcium oxalate (CaOx) deposition is common in early allograft biopsies, and it contributes in moderate intensity to higher incidence of acute tubular necrosis and poor graft survival.

The effect of Khat (Catha edulis) on acute cerebral infarction.

Objective: The aim of this study was to show the effects of Khat on acute cerebral infarction (ACI), specifically regarding blood pressure, age and gender, and to open the door for further neurological research.

Methods: We collected 358 patients with ACI, and 335 volunteers from Al-Thowra Modern General Hospital in Sana`a, Yemen, and Thamar General Hospital, Thamar City, approximately 100 km south of Sana`a. During a one year period, from February 2003 to March 2004, we conducted research regarding blood pressure, age, and gender related to the chewing or not chewing of Khat.
