Evaluation of different bioimpedance methods for assessing body composition in Asian non-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with fluid retention, which increases total body water (TBW) and leads to changes in intracellular water (ICW) and extracellular water (ECW). This complicates accurate assessments of body composition. Analysis of bioelectrical impedance may improve the accuracy of evaluation in CKD patients and multiple machines and technologies are available.

Spinal Extradural Cyst: Case Report and Review of Literature.

Background: Spinal extradural cyst (SEDC) accounts for <1% of spinal epidural lesions. It is commonly asymptomatic but can give rise to back pain and compressive neurologic symptoms.

Case Description: We report the case of a 51-year-old male who presented with gait difficulties over 5 months associated with occasional urge incontinence.
