Evaluation the role of the nephrology team in the specific vascular access outpatient clinic. What can we contribute new?

Background And Objectives: The key points of a monographic vascular access (VA) consultation are an adequate preoperative assessment, as well as a correct management and optimization of waiting lists. Our main objective of present study was to evaluate the degree of exploratory-dependent concordance in outpatient clinics regarding implanted VA, between nephrology and vascular surgery.

Materials And Methods: We analyzed VA created or surgically repaired between 2021 and 2022.

Robotic Repair of Ureteral Strictures After Kidney Transplantation.

Background: Approximately 5% to 10% of patients who undergo kidney transplantation develop ureteral stricture, which can be treated endoscopically or by open surgery, which is more effective but complications are common and potentially severe. Robotic surgery has begun to emerge as an alternative in reconstructive procedures. However, few studies have evaluated the role of robotic surgery in this clinical setting.

Redefining at-risk patients undergoiong pancreaticoduodenectomy: Impact of socioeconomic factors including Area Deprivation Index and distance traveled.

Background: The Whipple procedure for pancreatic adenocarcinoma frequently is referred to surgeons at high-volume centers, which requires that patients travel long distances, potentially impacting patient outcomes. Furthermore, patients with pancreatic cancer from underserved areas often have poor outcomes. There are limited data on Whipple outcomes on the basis of both socioeconomic and distance traveled.

Authentication of Argentinean extra-virgin olive oils using three-way fluorescence and two-way near-infrared data fused with multi-block DD-SIMCA.

A trending problem of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) adulteration is investigated using two analytical platforms, involving: (1) Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, resulting in a two-way data set, and (2) Fluorescence Excitation-Emission Matrix (EEFM) spectroscopy, producing three-way data. The related instruments were employed to study genuine and adulterated samples. Each data set was first separately analyzed using the Data Driven-Soft Independent Modeling of Class Analogies (DD-SIMCA) method, based on Principal Component Analysis (for the two-way NIR data) and PARallel FACtor analysis (for the three-way EEFM data).

Assessing the impact of imidacloprid, glyphosate, and their mixtures on multiple biomarkers in Corbicula largillierti.

Pesticide mixtures are frequently utilized in agriculture, yet their cumulative effects on aquatic organisms remain poorly understood. Aquatic animals can be effective bioindicators and invasive bivalves, owing to their widespread distribution, provide an opportunity to assess these impacts. Glyphosate and imidacloprid, among the most prevalent pesticides globally, are frequently detected in freshwater systems in South America.
