Concurrent Adrenal Adenoma, Unilateral Adrenal Hyperplasia, and Bilateral Renal Artery Stenosis in a 61-Year-Old Man.

Department of Radiology, Faculté de Médecine de Sousse, Université de Sousse, Hôpital Farhat Hached, Sousse, Tunisie.
We report a case of a very rare association of adrenal adenoma, unilateral adrenal hyperplasia, and bilateral renal artery stenosis. A 61-year-old man with a remarkable history of two severe strokes was admitted to the Nephrology department with hypertension associated with severe hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis. Doppler of renal arteries was not conclusive, so contrast-enhanced scanning was done revealing a left adrenal adenoma, right adrenal hyperplasia, and bilateral moderate renal artery stenosis.

ORPHY Laboratory, EA 4324, Western Brittany University (UBO), 29238 Brest, France.
Long-term alterations of pulmonary function (mainly decreased airway conductance and capacity of the lungs to diffuse carbon monoxide (DLCO)) have been described after hyperbaric exposures. However, whether these alterations convey a higher risk for divers' safety has never been investigated before. The purpose of the present pilot study was to assess whether decreased DLCO is associated with modifications of the physiological response to diving.

Department of Urology, Rennes University Hospital, Rennes, France.
Objective: To evaluate prospectively the effects of surgical excision of renal tumours on blood pressure (BP).
Patients And Methods: In a multicentre prospective study, we evaluated 200 patients who underwent nephrectomy for renal tumour between 2018 and 2020 at seven departments of the French Network for Kidney Cancer, the UroCCR. All patients had localized cancer without pre-existing hypertension (HTN).
Patchouli alcohol against renal fibrosis of spontaneously hypertensive rats via Ras/Raf-1/ERK1/2 signalling pathway.

Key Laboratory of Southwestern Chinese Medicine Resources, Key Laboratory of standardization of Chinese herbal medicine of MOE, Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chengdu, PR China.
Objectives: The present study was designed to obverse the protection of patchouli alcohol (PA) ameliorates hypertensive nephropathy in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and reveals potential mechanism.
Methods: Briefly, the adult spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) or Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats (half male and half female) were intragastric gavaged or not with PA (80, 40 and 20 mg/kg) for 8 weeks. Body weight, blood pressure (BP), renal weight, renal function and renal morphology were measured.
Early-in-Life Serum Aldosterone Levels Could Predict Surgery in Patients with Obstructive Congenital Anomalies of the Kidney and Urinary Tract: A Pilot Study.

Pediatric Urology Unit, "Santobono-Pausilipon" Children's Hospital, 80129 Naples, Italy.
The aim of the study was to evaluate whether serum aldosterone levels or plasmatic renin activity (PRA) measured early in life (1-3 months) could predict a future surgical intervention for obstructive congenital anomalies of kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT). Twenty babies aged 1-3 months of life with suspected obstructive CAKUT were prospectively enrolled. The patients underwent a 2-year follow-up and were classified as patients needing or not needing surgery.
