Relapsing peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis caused by Corynebacterium striatum: a case report.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis is a serious complication of PD, and its prevention and treatment are important for reducing patient morbidity and mortality. Reports of PD-associated peritonitis caused by Corynebacterium spp. are limited, and PD-associated peritonitis caused by Corynebacterium striatum (C.

Dapagliflozin-induced Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) Followed by Acute Interstitial Nephritis (AIN).

A 78-year-old male was admitted to the hospital with acute renal failure and generalized erythema after starting dapagliflozin 10 mg/day for chronic kidney disease (CKD). A skin biopsy revealed superficial perivascular dermatitis with eosinophils. A renal biopsy revealed lymphocytic and eosinophilic infiltration of the interstitium, and focal tubulitis.

Improvement of Light Chain Proximal Tubulopathy without Crystals in IgGλ-type Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance Using Bortezomib and Dexamethasone.

A 70-year-old woman with acute kidney injury, a high serum Creatinine (Cr) level (3.91 mg/dL), and proteinuria (protein/Cr ratio 1.59 g/gCr) was admitted.

Effect of chronic ethanol treatment on μ-opioid receptor function, interacting proteins and morphine-induced place preference.

Rationale: Both the acute and chronic consumption of ethanol have been reported to modify several molecular events in the central nervous system, and the endogenous μ-opioid receptor system is involved in the reinforcing/rewarding effects of ethanol.

Objectives: The present study was designed to clarify the effects of chronic ethanol treatment on cellular processes involving μ-opioid receptor and the development of morphine-induced rewarding effects.

Methods: Male C57BL/6J mice were continuously treated with a liquid diet containing 3.
