The aim of this systematic review was to assess AKI (acute kidney injury) in adult patients, treated with vancomycin (V) + piperacillin/tazobactam (PT) compared to V monotherapy. Studies were found in Pubmed, Web of Science and Scopus databases. Articles not in English, pediatric studies and case reports were excluded. A study is eligible for inclusion if the adjusted Odds ratio (aOR) for AKI in V + PT compared to V monotherapy groups, could be extracted or determined from available data. Six retrospective cohort studies were eligible for inclusion criteria and so they were included in the analysis. All studies separately showed a significant higher risk of developing AKI (OR > 1, p < 0.05) in V + PT group compared to V monotherapy group. Considering the methodological difference of included studies, a random effect model was preferred. The model showed a pooled significant higher risk of developing AKI [OR 2.77 (95% CI 1.94, 3.96), p < 0.0001] in V + PT group compared to V group. Association of V and PT appears to be associated with a greater risk of AKI compared to V in monotherapy. These results may serve as the impetus for further evaluation into true mechanisms behind this additive nephrotoxic effect and its potential implications on mortality.

Background Objectives: Scrub typhus is an acute febrile zoonotic disease caused by the obligate intracellular gram-negative bacteria Orientia tsutsugamushi. Growing data over the last few years on the Indian subcontinent suggest that it is one of the most widespread but under-reported diseases. The study aimed to document the clinical and paraclinical profile and evaluate complications of scrub typhus in severe and nonsevere pediatric age groups.

This study aims to explore the efficacy of neutrophil membrane nanovesicles (NMNVs) in the treatment of acute kidney injury caused by sepsis (S-AKI). Moreover, its effects on renal function indicators in plasma [creatinine (CREA), urea (UREA)], oxidative stress factor [malondialdehyde (MDA)], inflammatory factor [myeloperoxidase (MPO), histone H4 (H4), and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2)] are studied. Sixty SPF grade adult male Wistar rats in a healthy state under natural infection were randomly divided into blank, LSP, and experimental groups, with 20 rats in each group.

Narciclasine (Ncs) was effective in sepsis management due to its antioxidant properties. The present study dissected the protective effects of Ncs against sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) and the molecular mechanisms. The SA-AKI mice were developed using cecum ligation and puncture and pretreated with Ncs and adenoviruses.

Unlabelled: Periodontitis is closely related to renal health, but the specific influence of (), a key pathogen in periodontitis, on the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in mice has not been fully elucidated. In our study, AKI was induced in mice through ischemia-reperfusion injury while administering oral infection with . Comprehensive analyses were conducted, including 16S rRNA sequencing, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) metabolomics, and transcriptome sequencing.

Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a significant cause of morbidity and death in solid organ transplant recipients. Pre-emptive treatment of patients with CMV viraemia using antiviral agents has been suggested as an alternative to routine prophylaxis to prevent CMV disease. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2006 and updated in 2013.
