Sustained low-efficiency diafiltration is superior to hemodialysis in promoting renal function recovery in elderly wasp sting victims with stage III acute kidney injury: a retrospective study.

To study the efficacy and safety of sustained low-efficiency diafiltration (SLEDf) hemodialysis (HD) for patients with wasp stings who developed stage III acute kidney injury (AKI). We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of consecutive patients who developed AKI following wasp stings. All eligible patients received renal replacement therapy in combination with hemoperfusion.

Evaluation on treatment of sustained low-efficiency hemodialysis against patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome following wasp stings.

Background: To evaluate the treatment of sustained low-efficiency hemodialysis (SLED) against patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) following wasp stings.

Methods: Clinical data of 35 patients with MODS following wasp stings were retrospectively analysed. These patients were divided into three groups according to the treatment strategy used: 1) hemodialysis (HD) group, 2) continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH)/HD group, and 3) SLED/HD group.

Study of the retinal imaging and output in premature baby under a computer-assisted binocular indirect ophthalmoscope.

Purpose: To explore a clear retinal imaging and output and enhance the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening, which is safe and effective for ROP screening in premature infants.

Methods: A computer-assisted binocular indirect ophthalmoscope imaging and output system was equipped with camera and image processing hardware and connected to computers. The process of fundus examination was videotaped (photograph) and output.
