Background: The long-term renal outcomes of patients who underwent nephrectomy for traumatic renal injury (TRI) have rarely been reported. Therefore, we investigated the impact of nephrectomy for TRI on long-term renal outcomes.
Methods And Materials: We extracted data from the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) of Taiwan from 1999 to 2013 and identified patients with TRI. Adverse kidney outcomes (AKOs), including lifelong dialysis and chronic kidney disease (CKD), were chosen as endpoints of the study.
Results: A total of 16,320 eligible patients were identified in the NHIRD. The incidence of lifelong dialysis was 0.6% (99/15,789) for patients without nephrectomy, while the incidence was 1.1% (6/531) for nephrectomized patients. Overall, the incidence of AKOs was 2.1% (11/531) in the group that underwent nephrectomy and 1.1% (166/15,789) in the group without nephrectomy. Before matching, differences in overall AKO incidence between the groups were significant, while propensity score matching eliminated this significance.
Conclusions: The results of our study did not indicate that AKOs would occur in patients with TRI who underwent nephrectomy.

Introduction: Real-life data on the long-term use of a maintenance immunosuppressive protocol in heart transplant patients using delayed Everolimus + Tacrolimus are scarce.
Methods: This is a retrospective study that included all heart transplant patients from 2011 to 2021 in two Spanish hospitals. In Hospital A, the preferred immunosuppressive strategy included Everolimus initiation at 2 months post-transplant combined with Tacrolimus and was compared with the results of Hospital B, where a standard Tacrolimus and Mycophenolate mofetil protocol was used.

Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is recognized as an effective intervention for renal stones measuring less than 20 mm. This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of a novel flexible kidney-fixed position compared to the conventional lithotomy position, focusing on lithotripsy efficiency and stone-free rates (SFR). A total of 100 patients undergoing unilateral RIRS between January 2023 and September 2024 were randomly allocated to either the conventional lithotomy position group or the kidney-fixed position group.

Division of Vascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Purpose: Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a rare form of chronic vasculitis that is common in Asian female. As TAK predominantly affects young female with a longer life expectancy than those with atherosclerotic diseases, assessing the specific long-term outcomes of TAK treatment is important. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes and post-procedural complications of surgical and endovascular treatment for TAK.

Background: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are effective treatments for acid-related disorders but may pose tumor risks with long-term use. Current research on PPI-associated tumor adverse events (TAEs) is limited and inconclusive. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the relationship between PPIs and TAEs.

Introduction: This study systematically examines the effects of chronic oral methadone use on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in patients participating in methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) in Qazvin City, Iran. Methadone, a synthetic -opioid receptor agonist, is predominantly utilized for the management of opioid dependence and pain relief; however, there is growing concern regarding its potential nephrotoxic effects.
Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was executed involving 150 participants who had been on methadone syrup for a minimum duration of 2 years.
