Article Abstract

Two patients whose illnesses meet the criteria of Wegener's granulomatosis are presented. Selective renal angiography performed in both revealed multiple arterial aneurysms similar to those classically found in polyarteritis nodosa.

Background: Resistance to temozolomide (TMZ) remains is an important cause of treatment failure in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). ADAR1, as a member of the ADAR family, plays an important role in cancer progression and chemotherapy resistance. However, the mechanism by which ADAR1 regulates GBM progression and TMZ resistance is still unclear.

Background: Pharmacy-to-dose (PTD) services describe an established practice where providers consult pharmacists for various medication dosing. In 2019, several institutions approved a daptomycin protocol, which allowed pharmacists to select doses based on provider-selected indications, renal function, and body mass index (BMI).

Objective: This study aims to determine the utility of a daptomycin PTD consult service.

Background: The existing criteria for living kidney donors (LKDs)in Japan are controversial. We evaluated the roles of computed tomography volumetry (CTV) and 99 m Tc-diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid (DTPA) scintigraphy in assessing preoperative and postoperative renal function and predicting early recovery of residual renal function.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of 175 consecutive LKDs who underwent donor nephrectomy (DN) at our institution between 2006 and 2022.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health challenge associated with lifestyle factors such as diet, alcohol, BMI, smoking, sleep, and physical activity. Metabolomics, especially nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR), offers insights into metabolic profiles' role in diseases, but more research is needed on its connection to CKD and lifestyle factors. Therefore, we utilized the latest metabolomics data from the UK Biobank to explore the relationship between plasma metabolites and lifestyle factors, as well as to investigate the associations between various factors, including lifestyle-related metabolites, and the latent phase of CKD onset.

January 2025

Department of Radiology, Hangzhou TCM Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Hangzhou 310007, Zhejiang Province, China (Y.R., W.L., Y.Z., S.K., F.C.). Electronic address:

Rationale And Objectives: Non-invasive assessment of renal fibrosis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains a clinical challenge. This study aims to integrate radiomics and clinical factors to develop an end-to-end pipeline for predicting interstitial fibrosis (IF) in CKD patients.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 80 patients with CKD, with 53 patients in training set and 27 patients in test set.
