Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the related factors of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) that would affect early kidney injury in patients with hypertension (Hyp).
Methods: A total of 457 Hyp patients with nocturnal snoring were selected for polysomnography (PSG). The patients were divided into four groups according to the apnea hypopnea index (AHI), and the related factors that would impact blood urea, creatinine, 24 hr urinary protein (24 hr UTP), 24 h urinary microalbuminuria and serum cystatin C (Cyst C) were analyzed in the groups.
Results: Severe OSAHS (OR = 4.880, 95% CI = 1.577~15.099) was the influencing factor for 24 hr UTP; blood pressure control (OR = 2.335, 95% CI = 1.326~4.112) and Obesity (OR = 2.072, 95% CI = 1.236~3.474) were the influencing factors for 24 hr urinary microalbuminuria; age (OR = 1.996, 95% CI = 1.366~2.917), blood pressure control (OR = 2.895, 95% CI = 1.267~6.615) and severe OSAHS (OR = 6.093, 95% CI = 1.267~29.303) were the influencing factors for Cyst C. As for the Hyp patients associated with OSAHS, severe OSAHS were the influencing factors for 24 hr UTP; blood pressure control and Obesity were the influencing factors for 24 hr urinary microalbuminuria; age, blood pressure control and severe OSAHS were the influencing factors for Cyst C.
Conclusions: OSAHS is a risk factor of early kidney injury.

Climate change, driven by greenhouse gas emissions, has emerged as a pressing global ecological and environmental challenge. Our study is dedicated to exploring the various factors influencing greenhouse gas emissions from animal husbandry and predicting their future trends. To this end, we have analyzed data from China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region spanning from 1978 to 2022, aiming to estimate the carbon emissions associated with animal husbandry in the region.

Background: Chronic pruritus is the defining symptom of atopic dermatitis (AD). Although AD is common in Latin America, there is little data regarding pruritus intensity, characteristics, and effects on quality of life in this population.
Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate pruritus in 91 patients with AD at a tertiary university hospital in São Paulo, Brazil.

Introduction: The American Urological Association (AUA) recommends urology referral and surgery for undescended testicle (UDT) before 18 months of age, but it has been shown that many referrals occur later, influenced by social factors.
Objective: This study aims to identify key social factors that impact UDT referral timing and appropriateness.
Study Design: Pediatric patients referred to our institution for UDT management from 2018 to 2023 were analyzed.

Objectives: To identify differences in the reported vasoplegia incidence, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS), and 30-day mortality rates as influenced by different vasoplegia definitions used in cardiac surgery studies.
Design: A systematic review was performed covering the period 1977 to 2023 using PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Emcare and a meta-analysis (PROSPERO: CRD42021258328) was performed.
Setting And Participants: One hundred studies defining vasoplegia in cardiac surgery patients were systematically reviewed.
