Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the use of Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) in uro-nephrological clinical practice, highlighting its presence despite limited prior research on the topic.* -
- 27 experienced medical doctors conducted 280 bedside ultrasound examinations, finding that the device was particularly effective for assessing conditions like hydronephrosis and fluid accumulations.* -
- Results indicate that POCUS is beneficial for time efficiency and cost-effectiveness in both inpatient and outpatient settings, proving useful for targeted triage and follow-up assessments despite certain technical limitations.*

Thyroglobulin (Tg) is the most important tumor marker in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic and prognostic roles of postoperative stimulated and postablative lowest, highest, and one-year non-stimulated Tg values obtained during the follow-up of patients with DTC. In this retrospective study, 222 radioiodine-treated, anti-thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb)-negative DTC patients having at least 9 months' follow-up time were included (172 papillary and 50 follicular cancers; median age: 48 (from 15 to 91) years; female-male ratio: 158/64; median (quartiles) follow-up time: 54 (22-97) months).

Chronic dialysis in frail nephropathic patients can worsen the symptom load and their functional autonomy, increasing the risk of early mortality. It is key to evaluate if dialysis treatment represents a real advantage for these patients; Maximum Conservative Therapy (MCT) associated with palliative care, could improve their residual quality of life, avoiding dialysis. The aim of this work is to describe the application and the relative terms of MCT in a complete series of cases followed in our Nephrological Clinic.

Background: Sjögren syndrome (SS) is a rare disease in pediatrics, and little attention has been paid to the clinical feature in these patients. To date, there are few cases concern about neurological and nephrological disorders in childhood Sjögren syndrome. We describe a case of Sjögren syndrome in a 12-year-old girl who developed neurological disorders and interstitial nephritis and review the literature currently available on this topic.
