Introduction: Surgery is the recommended treatment for Bosniak IV renal cysts. We performed a retrospective analysis of Bosniak IV lesions surgically removed to increase evidence on their prognostic meaning.
Material And Methods: Patients with a Bosniak IV cyst were considered. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detected a solid component with contrast enhancement. In no case a percutaneous biopsy was performed. A radical (9, 21.4%) or partial (33, 78.6%) nephrectomy was performed with laparoscopic (14, 33.3%) or robot-assisted (28, 66.7%) approach. Analysis of the final pathology was performed, and recurrence rate was assessed.
Results: 42 patients were included. Median lesion size was 54.7 mm (IQR 20.0-81.2). A solid tumour was detected in 40 patients (95.2%), whereas in 2 cases (4.8%) a benign cyst without neoplastic component was diagnosed. Final pathology revealed a low-grade clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) in 16 cases (38.0%), a multilocular cystic renal neoplasm of low malignant potential in 6 cases (14.3%), a low-grade papillary RCC (pRCC) type I in 4 cases (9.5%), a clear cell papillary RCC (ccpRCC) in 10 cases (23.8%) and an oncocytoma in 2 cases (4.8%). A high-grade ccRCC was detected in 2 cases (4.8%), whereas no patients had a pRCC type II. In all cases surgical margins were negative. Median follow-up was 24 months and no recurrence occurred.
Conclusions: Our results increase evidence on the favourable pathology and good prognosis of Bosniak IV renal cysts, supporting the role of surgery as a definitive treatment and suggesting the need for a low-intensity follow-up.

Gamma knife radiosurgery for cavernous malformations: a comprehensive study on symptom relief, hemorrhage rates, and histopathological changes.
Neurosurg Rev
January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, Pamukkale University School of Medicine, Kim Burchiel Gamma Knife Center, Denizli, Türkiye, Turkey.
This study aims to demonstrate the effect of gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) on symptoms, hemorrhage rates, and histopathological changes in patients with cavernous malformations (CMs), regardless of whether the symptomatic lesions are hemorrhagic. This single-center retrospective study evaluated symptomatic patients with single CMs treated with GKRS between 2016 and 2023. The patients' demographic data, presenting symptoms, GKRS radiation dose, complications developed during follow-up (hemorrhage, radiotoxicity), the rate of symptom improvement, and histopathological changes of surgically removed CMs were recorded.

Department of Cardiology, Lishui Central Hospital and the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Lishui, China.
Background: The difference between the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated from cystatin C and creatinine (eGFRdiff) serves as a biomarker of kidney function impairment. However, the role of eGFRdiff in cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) health and its impact on mortality in CKM syndrome patients has not yet been studied.
Methods: This study included 3,622 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 1999 and 2004.

Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate the clinical features and prognostic factors of pediatric LCH patients treated in a single center of China.
Methods: Pediatric LCH cases were treated following the SD-LCH protocol at the Affiliated Provincial Hospital of Shandong First Medical University in Jinan, China. An analysis was conducted on 82 recently identified LCH cases to retrospectively evaluate the initial symptoms, therapeutic alternatives, and extended results.
Prognostic Impact of Potentially Curative Resection for Synchronous Peritoneal Carcinomatosis with Lavage Cytology Positivity in Colorectal Cancer: A Retrospective Observational Study.

Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Cancer Institute Hospital, Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research, Tokyo, Japan.
Objectives: Although curative resection for synchronous peritoneal carcinomatosis has been reported to improve prognosis, cases with positive intraoperative lavage cytology have not been reported. In this study, we investigated the prognostic value of potentially curative resection based on colorectal cancer and lavage cytology positivity in patients with synchronous peritoneal carcinomatosis.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 72 patients who underwent intraoperative lavage cytology and one-stage potentially curative resection of primary and metastatic lesions (lavage cytology-positive, n = 21; lavage cytology-negative, n = 51) between July 2004 and December 2019.

Objectives: Traditional scoring systems have been widely used to predict acute pancreatitis (AP) severity but have limitations in predictive accuracy. This study investigates the use of machine learning (ML) algorithms to improve predictive accuracy in AP.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using data from 101 AP patients in a tertiary hospital in Türkiye.
