Anuric Acute Kidney Injury Requiring Dialysis Following Acetazolamide Use for Cataract Surgery.

BACKGROUND Acetazolamide (ACTZ) is commonly used in the prevention and treatment of various clinical conditions, and anuric acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of its known life-threatening complications. CASE REPORT We hereby report the case of a middle-aged man known to have compensated heart failure and hypertension with previously normal kidney function, who received a total dose of 2250mg of ACTZ over 3 days after cataract surgery. One week after the operation, he presented with anuria and severe bilateral renal colic, as well as progressively worsening kidney function and metabolic profile, which eventually required hemodialysis prior to recovery.

Nutritional value and chemical composition of Sudanese millet-based fermented foods as affected by fermentation and method of preparation.

Background: Although kissra and hulu-mur are well known millet-based foods in Sudan, the effect of fer- mentation and methods of preparation on their chemical compositions has not been thoroughly investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the method of preparation and the composition of kisra, and hulu-mur.

Methods: The effect of fermentation and method of preparation on the composition, and mi- crobiological load were examined in millet flour during the preparation of Sudanese fermented foods (kisra & hulu-mur).
