We report a rare case of chronic expanding hematoma in the right temporal region that developed into a large mass during 12 years. The patient, who had a history of blunt trauma in her right temporal region at the age of 4 months, noticed a slowly growing mass at the same site in the last few months. Computed tomography revealed a well-circumscribed subcutaneous tumor. The tumor was completely resected. Histopathologically, this tumor was confirmed in the diagnosis of chronic expanding hematoma.

  • Despite enrolling 94 participants, recruitment showed a "yellow light," indicating some success but needing improvements.
  • Compliance with the CBT program was low, as only 60% completed all modules, leading to a "red light," suggesting significant changes are necessary before a larger trial can proceed.

Introduction: Unplanned initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients is a common situation worldwide. In this scenario, peritoneal dialysis (PD) has emerged as a therapeutic option compared to hemodialysis (HD). In planned RRT, the costs of PD are lower than those of HD; however, the literature lacks such analyses when initiation is urgent.

Background: The use of donor kidneys with acute kidney injury (AKI) aims to expand the organ pool, but uncertainty remains regarding their outcomes across different Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) groups and preservation methods.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 108 160 deceased donor kidney transplants from the OPTN database, focusing on adult recipients of kidneys from donors with or without AKI between December 2014 and December 2022. Propensity matching was used for each KDPI group (1-20, 21-59, 60-84, and 85-100), comparing donors with AKIN stages 0-1 to AKIN stages 2-3.
