Background: Kinase D-interacting substrate of 220 kDa ("KIDINS220") is an integral plasma membrane protein essential to signaling throughout the body; abnormalities are linked to a variety of disorders, including obesity, but have never been directly linked to chronic- or end-stage renal disease.
Methods: Retrospective chart review identified patients with severe obesity who presented for pre-kidney transplant weight management. 20 individuals met criteria for testing for genetic causes of obesity. A χ test of independence was utilized to compare genetic mutation rates in this cohort to all individuals tested nationally.
Results: This case series presents a cohort of patients with severe obesity and end-stage renal disease who were subsequently found to have a significantly higher rate of KIDINS220 mutations (20 %, χ = 27.8, < 0.0001) compared to the national positivity rate of all individuals tested for genetic causes of obesity.
Conclusions: Mutations within KIDINS220 may play a modulatory role in the progression of chronic kidney disease in patients with obesity, as evidenced by this small retrospective study. The relationship between KIDINS200, kidney disease, and obesity is complex and requires further study, but may represent a potential therapeutic target in the future.

Fatal Delayed Cardiac Tamponade Following Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: A Case Report.
Cureus
December 2024
Internal Medicine, Hurley Medical Center, Flint, USA.
Catheter ablation procedure for symptomatic atrial fibrillation is an established treatment. Cardiac tamponade is one of the several complications associated with atrial fibrillation ablation. We present the case of a 60-year-old male with a past medical history of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis, hypotension on midodrine, atrial fibrillation status post-ablation a week prior, and a cerebrovascular accident who presented to the emergency department with complaints of weakness, nausea, vomiting, confusion and some syncopal episodes for the past few days.

BMJ Open
December 2024
Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Hamamatsu University School of Medicine, Hamamatsu, Japan.
Background: The lactate albumin ratio (LAR), a simple prognostic marker used in intensive care units (ICUs), combines lactate and serum albumin levels to predict patient outcomes. Despite its potential, the predictive accuracy of the LAR remains insufficiently explored. This study aimed to assess the usefulness of the LAR in predicting mortality among patients in the ICU.

Department of Nephrology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, 58 Zhongshan Road II, Guangzhou, 510080, China.
Nephrotic syndrome (NS) occurs in 5-15% of patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN), resulting in poorer long-term outcomes compared to those without NS. Clinical features and renal prognosis for patients with both NS and IgAN across different kidney pathologies have not been fully elucidated. This study included patients with primary IgAN through renal biopsy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2001 to November 2021 presenting with NS.

Although MHD can prolong the survival of patients, their quality of life is lower and the fatality rate is higher. This work analyzed the factors related to the autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF)-like expansion of non-diabetic MHD patients by vascular ultrasound (VUS).

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Oklahoma Tulsa, OU-TU School of Community Medicine, Tulsa, OK.
Objective: The purpose of this review was to examine new evidence since our 2019 guidelines for cervical cancer (CC) screening in non-HIV immunocompromised persons and to provide updated recommendations based on literature review and expert opinion. In addition, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine efficacy in these populations was reviewed.
Methods: A literature search was performed similar to our previous publication but was conducted through March 2023.
