Sarcoma of the kidney is uncommon and represents between 1% and 3% of all malignant renal tumors. Primary rhabdomyosarcoma of the kidney in adult age is unusual, and only sporadic cases have been reported. This is a very aggressive tumor with dismal prognosis. We report a new case of pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma of the kidney in an adult patient.

Space-making particle therapy, which consists of surgical placement of a spacer followed by particle therapy, has become a solution to the problem of normal organs being exposed to a high radiation dose. A bioabsorbable spacer is particularly suitable for this purpose, but is not widely used. Surgical placement of a spacer is performed mostly to protect the digestive tract, but can also be used to protect the kidneys.

An 8-y-old National Show Horse mare was presented for evaluation of pneumonia and laminitis. Harsh bronchovesicular sounds were auscultated throughout both lung fields, and the mare had signs of moderately painful laminitis. Thoracic ultrasonography revealed lung consolidation throughout the dorsal aspect of both lungs, and radiography revealed an extensive diffuse-to-patchy bronchointerstitial lung pattern.

Approximately 80% of pediatric tumors occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), where diagnostic tools essential for treatment decisions are often unavailable or incomplete. Development of cost-effective molecular diagnostics will help bridge the cancer diagnostic gap and ultimately improve pediatric cancer outcomes in LMIC settings. We investigated the feasibility of using nanopore whole transcriptome sequencing on formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE)-derived RNA and a composite machine learning model for pediatric solid tumor diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
- This study explored how nephrostomies affect total renal function (TRF) and split renal function (SRF) in patients with pelvic tumors that cause upper urinary tract obstruction (UUTO).
- Researchers analyzed data from patients treated between 2000 and 2022, comparing those who received nephrostomies to those who did not.
- Results indicated that nephrostomy improved estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in treated patients, while those without the procedure showed no improvement, suggesting that nephrostomies may enhance renal outcomes in this context.
