Surgery for pathological fracture of long tubular bones associated with metastatic cancer was given to 77 patients (1993-2000): segmental resection with endoprosthetic replacement - 26; intramedullary osteosynthesis - 17; perosseous extrafocal osteosynthesis - 34. No intraoperative complication was reported. Infection-related postoperative complications, mainly in perosseous osteosynthesis, developed in 5 (7%). All patients were self-sufficient on days 3-10 after operation.

Preeclampsia (PE) is a prevalent and severe pregnancy complication that significantly impacts maternal and perinatal health. Epidemiological studies and animal experiments have demonstrated that PE adversely affects the cardiovascular and nervous systems of offspring, increasing their risk of hypertension and renal pathology. However, the mechanisms underlying this increased risk remain unclear.

Disturbances in kidney tubular cell metabolism are increasingly recognized as a feature of acute kidney injury (AKI). In AKI, tubular epithelial cells undergo abnormal metabolic shifts that notably disrupt NAD metabolism. Recent advancements have highlighted the critical role of NAD metabolism in AKI, revealing that acute disruptions may lead to lasting cellular changes, thereby promoting the transition to chronic kidney disease (CKD).

When long-span beams undergo large, the strength of the beam material cannot be fully utilized. To solve this problem, a prestressed unequal-walled rectangular concrete-filled steel box (PURCFSB) beam is proposed in this paper. The prestressing is added to the concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) beam and the section is designed.

Introduction: Novel approaches to improve long-term outcomes in kidney transplant recipients are required. Here, we present the 5-year data from a multicenter, prospective, Phase 3b trial evaluating treatment outcomes with standard (STD) or low (LOW) dose prolonged-release tacrolimus (TAC) combined with ACEi/ARB or other antihypertensive therapy (OAHT) in Canadian kidney transplant recipients.

Methods: Adult de novo kidney transplant recipients were randomized 2 × 2 to STD or LOW dose TAC and ACEi/ARB or OAHT.
