Background: Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), traditionally recognized for its hepatoprotective effects, has also shown potential in protecting kidney injury. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of UDCA against sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
Methods: Sixty male C57BL/6 N mice were utilized to establish a sepsis-induced AKI model through intravenous injection of lipopolysaccharides (LPS, 10 mg/kg).
Previous studies have suggested that systemic viral infections may increase risks of dementia. Whether this holds true for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus infections is unknown. Determining this is important for anticipating the potential future incidence of dementia.

Background: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a health problem worldwide, accounting for high hospital morbidity and mortality. There is little available information regarding the characteristics and incidence of AKI in Latin America (LA), especially in Mexico.
Objectives: Systematically search the literature and perform a meta-analysis of the epidemiology of AKI in Mexico, to provide data on AKI and kidney replacement therapy (KRT) that would contribute to general knowledge in this matter.

Brucellosis, a significant zoonotic disease, poses a threat to both livestock and human health. Infections in livestock lead to abortion, infertility, and substantial economic losses in the industry. In humans, acute brucellosis can progress to a chronic condition, resulting in multisystemic infections with high morbidity and mortality rates.
