Background: Acute kidney disease (AKD) is a recently described syndrome consisting of kidney function abnormalities lasting less than 3 months. Little is known regarding AKD following ureteroscopy (URS) and laser lithotripsy.
Objective: To evaluate the occurrence and evolution of AKD in stone patients treated with URS.
Materials And Methods: Data from 284 patients treated with URS for urinary stones were retrospectively analyzed. According to the KDIGO 2020 criteria, AKD was defined as postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) occurrence, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decrease ≥ 35%, or serum creatinine (SCr) increase ≥ 50%. AKI was defined as SCr increase ≥ 0.3 mg/dL or ≥ 50%. AKD evolution was evaluated 60 days post-URS. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Univariable (UVA) and multivariable (MVA) logistic regression analyses tested the association of patients' characteristics and perioperative data with the occurrence of AKD.
Results: Overall, postoperative AKD occurred in 32 (11.3%) patients. Recovery from AKD was found in 26 (82%) patients and persistent AKD occurred in 6 (18%) patients. At UVA, age at surgery (p = 0.05), baseline SCr (p = 0.02), baseline CKD category (p = 0.006), Charlson comorbidity index (p = 0.01), operative time (p = 0.04) and postoperative complications (< 0.001) were associated with AKD. At MVA, CKD category (OR 2.99, 95% CI = 1.4-6.3; p = 0.004), operative time (OR 1.01, 95% CI = 1.001-1.018; p = 0.023) and postoperative complications (OR 3.5, 95% CI = 1.46-8.49; p = 0.005) were independent predictors of AKD.
Conclusions: AKD is a frequent complication in patients treated with URS. Moreover, AKD persists in a non-neglectable percentage of patients at medium-term follow-up. Therefore, nephrological assessment should be considered, especially in high-risk patients. Current findings should be considered for the peri-operative management of stone patients.

Automated detection of traumatic bleeding in CT images using 3D U-Net# and multi-organ segmentation.

Traumatic injury remains a leading cause of death worldwide, with traumatic bleeding being one of its most critical and fatal consequences. The use of whole-body computed tomography (WBCT) in trauma management has rapidly expanded. However, interpreting WBCT images within the limited time available before treatment is particularly challenging for acute care physicians.

Cardiovascular Outcomes Research Laboratories (CORELAB), University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, United States of America.
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.
How Often Is Rifampin Therapy Initiated and Completed in Patients With Periprosthetic Joint Infections?
Clin Orthop Relat Res
January 2025
Department of Medicine, Duke University, Durham, NC, USA.
Background: Rifampin therapy is indicated for the treatment of staphylococcal periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in patients who have undergone debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) or one-stage revision as per the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) guideline. Given the well-established effectiveness of rifampin as adjunctive therapy in staphylococcal PJI, it is crucial to evaluate its utilization in practice and identify factors that contribute to its underuse or incomplete administration, as these deviations may undermine treatment efficacy and patient outcomes.
Questions/purposes: Among patients who met clear indications for rifampin use having undergone DAIR or one-stage revision for staphylococcal PJI, (1) what proportion of patients did not receive it? (2) What proportion of patients started it but did not complete the planned course? (3) Where documented in the medical record, what were the common reasons for not using it or prematurely discontinuing it, and in what percentage of the patients' charts was no reason given? (4) What proportion of patients were taking a medication that put them at risk for a drug-drug interaction (DDI)?
Methods: Using an institutional database, patients who underwent DAIR or revision arthroplasty for PJI from January 2013 to April 2023 were identified (n = 935).
Iodinated Contrast Adsorption in Cartridges With Styrene-Divinylbenzene Sorbent.

International Renal Research Institute of Vicenza (IRRIV), Vicenza, Veneto, Italy.
Background: Contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) is frequent in patients with chronic kidney disease who are submitted to cardiac endovascular procedures using iodinated contrast. In hemoadsorption, cartridges containing styrene-divinylbenzene sorbent resin are applied to remove substances from the blood through an extracorporeal circuit. Importantly, iodinated contrast is also removed via adsorption.
