Cardio-renal syndrome is a clinical condition that has recently been well defined. In acute kidney disease, this interaction might trigger chronic processes determining the onset of cardiovascular events and the progression of chronic kidney disease. Moreover, the high mortality rate of acute kidney injury (AKI) is also linked to the fact that this condition is often complicated by dysfunctions of other organs such as lungs or heart, or is associated with septic episodes. In this context the role and the potential link between bone, heart and kidney is becoming an important topic of research. The aim of this review is to describe the cardiac alterations in the presence of AKI (cardiorenal syndrome type 3) and explore how bone can interact with heart and kidney in determining and influencing the trend of AKI in the short and long term. The main anomalies of mineral metabolism in patients with AKI will be reported, with specific reference to the alterations of fibroblast growth factor 23 and Klotho as a link between the bone-kidney-heart axis.

Rett syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder primarily affecting females, presents unique challenges in managing associated scoliosis. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and challenges of posterior spinal fusion (PSF) in Rett syndrome patients by analyzing postoperative complications. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using a large national database.

Purpose: There are no guidelines, what recommend pro or against cystography for identification of VUR for adults who suffer from first episode of pyelonephritis. The aim of this study was to look at incidence of VUR in adults with first episode of pyelonephritis, and to highlight recommendations for possible reflux investigation in these patients.
Methods: We have performed retrospective review of all patients who admitted at our department over the last decade with the working diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis.

The incidence of hyperuricemia has increased recently, posing a serious threat to public health. Hyperuricemia is associated with an increased risk of gout, chronic kidney disease (CKD), obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hypertriglyceridaemia, metabolic dysfunction‑associated steatotic liver disease, acute kidney injury, coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease (CVD). These diseases are commonly accompanied by varying degrees of kidney damage.

MicroRNA (miRNA)-based therapy holds significant potential; however, its structural limitations pose a challenge to the full exploitation of its biomedical functionality. Framework nucleic acids are promising owing to their transportability, biocompatibility, and functional editability. MiRNA-125 is embedded into a nucleic acid framework to create an enzyme-responsive nanoparachute (NP), enhancing the miRNA loading capacity while preserving the attributes of small-scale framework nucleic acids and circumventing the uncertainty related to RNA exposure in conventional loading methods.
