A renal, pancreatic and hepatic dysplasia sequence (RPHD sequence) was found in a male premature baby who died a few minutes after birth. Autopsy documented multicystic dysplastic kidneys, a dysplastic pancreas with dilated ducts, cysts, fibrosis and inflammatory infiltrates, prominent portal tracts containing dilated bile ducts and hypoplastic lungs. Other organs were normal. This triad constitutes a "dysplastic sequence" and was first reported by Ivemark et al. as "familial dysplasia of kidneys, liver and pancreas". Since then, this combination of abnormalities has been named "polycystic dysplasia" and "renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia", but mostly "Ivemark syndrome", at the risk of being confused with asplenia-cardiac anomaly syndrome, which was reviewed by Ivemark et al. and also bears Ivemark's name.

Highly sensitized (HS) patients in need of kidney transplantation (KTx) typically spend a longer time waiting for compatible kidneys, are unlikely to receive an organ offer, and are at increased risk of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR). Desensitization using imlifidase, which is more rapid and removes total body immunoglobulin G (IgG) to a greater extent than other methods, enables transplantation to occur between HLA-incompatible (HLAi) donor-recipient pairs and allows patients to have greater access to KTx. However, when the project was launched there was limited data and clinical experience with desensitization in general and with imlifidase specifically.

Background: The distribution of adverse events (AEs) triggered by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) across different cancer types has never been demonstrated.
Methods: Randomised controlled trials exclusively assessing ICI monotherapy in cohorts of over 100 patients were considered. Our primary outcome was a comprehensive summary of the distribution of all-grade treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) as well as serious TRAEs (CTCAE grade 3 or higher) across different malignancies.

Europinidin is a novel anthocyanidin found in the petals of Plumbago europea that exhibits several physiological effects. Research was conducted to assess europinidin's cardioprotective efficacy in a diabetic and myocardial infarction (MI) experimental model. Rat was injected through the intraperitoneal administration of 45 mg/kg of streptozotocin (STZ), while MI was induced by subcutaneously administering 85 mg/kg of isoproterenol (ISP) at 24 and 48 h prior to the sacrifice procedure.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to explore the application effect of early risk factor warning model of acute kidney injury combined with continuous renal replacement therapy in patients with severe acute pancreatitis, and to comprehensively evaluate the effects of this combined treatment model on patients'renal function recovery and complications through prospective studies.
Methods: This study adopted a rigorous random grouping method to ensure the balance and randomness of the grouping and minimize the interference of confounding factors on the research results. Specifically, with the help of a computer-generated random number sequence, patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to the combined treatment group and the traditional treatment group.

Purpose: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have been noted to face increased cancer incidence. Yet, the impact of concomitant renal dysfunction on acute outcomes following elective surgery for cancer remains to be elucidated.
Methods: All adult hospitalizations entailing elective resection for lung, esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, hepatic, or colon cancer were identified in the 2016-2020 National Inpatient Sample.
