Article Synopsis
- Hydrocele is a common condition involving fluid accumulation in the scrotum, leading to painless swelling, and has been minimally studied in Nepal.
- A year-long study analyzed medical records from a surgical department in a tertiary care center, identifying cases of hydrocele surgery and gathering data on prevalence and patient demographics.
- Findings revealed that out of 1812 surgeries, 95 were hydrocele-related, mainly non-communicating and unilateral; the majority of patients were around 50 years old, and 20% experienced postoperative complications.
Article Synopsis
- Primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) requires immunosuppressive therapy and can progress to end-stage renal disease if untreated; diagnosis relies heavily on electron microscopy to differentiate it from other forms of FSGS.
- A study conducted between January and December 2022 in a nephrology department involved analyzing data from patients with glomerular diseases who underwent kidney biopsy, following ethical guidelines.
- Out of 213 patients, 22 (10.33%) were diagnosed with primary FSGS, characterized by nephrotic range proteinuria; however, this prevalence was lower than findings from similar studies.
Introduction: Urinary tract infection is the most common infection among renal transplant recipients and increases the risk of hospitalization or even death. The study aimed to find the prevalence of urinary tract infection among post-renal transplant patients in the Department of Nephrology of a tertiary care centre.
Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study which was conducted among 217 post-renal transplant patients at the Department of Nephrology of a tertiary care centre from 1st November, 2017 to 31st October, 2018.
Importance: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed the treatment paradigm for an ever-increasing number of cancers. However, their use has also led to the emergence of immune-related adverse events, such as ICI-induced inflammatory arthritis. A reproducible, reliable, and accessible modality is needed to assess and distinguish early ICI-induced inflammatory arthritis and help in management.
