Aims: To correlate sonographic renal parameters (mean renal cortical thickness, length and volume) with renal functions in patients with newly diagnosed chronic kidney disease. To predict the best renal parameter correlating with renal functions in patients with newly diagnosed chronic kidney disease.

Material And Methods: A hospital-based prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Radiodiagnosis, Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital, Shimla, in 78 adults with newly diagnosed chronic kidney disease visiting the hospital from December 2019 to November 2020.

Results: A statistically significant positive correlation was found between eGFR and mean renal length, mean renal cortical thickness, and mean renal volume ( <0.001).The strongest correlation was shown between mean renal volume and eGFR (r = 0.90, r = 0.82; -value <0.001).

Conclusions: Renal volume and cortical thickness should be considered along with traditional renal parameters.

Background Aims: SBP leads to high rates acute kidney injury (AKI) -hepatorenal syndrome and mortality. Population-based studies on contemporary SBP epidemiology are needed to inform care. In a large, national cohort of patients diagnosed with SBP and confirmed by ascitic fluid criteria, we characterized ascitic fluid characteristics, in-hospital and 12-month mortality, AKI, and recurrent SBP.

Objective: Newly diagnosed AF (NOAF) associated with acute STEMI holds significant relevance in clinical practice. This study seeks to assess the role of the monocyte to HDL-C ratio (MHR) in predicting NOAF in these patients.

Methods: Between July 2017 and May 2018, 663 patients who underwent primary PCI for STEMI were retrospectively analyzed.

Background: The influence of environmental factors on the severity of early inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), is unclear. Herein, we aimed to investigate the role of environmental factors in the initial phenotype, activity, and severity of IBD.

Objective: Hyperglycemia, or glucose values >180 mg/dL, is associated with adverse post-operative outcomes. Our objective was to determine the impact of improving peri-operative glycemic control and evaluate infectious complications among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus undergoing open gynecologic surgery.

Methods: A multidisciplinary team standardized pre-operative screening, referral algorithms, and intra-operative and post-operative hyperglycemia management (Surgical Universal euGlycemic Attainment during Recovery initiative).
