An analysis of the single-dose pharmacokinetics of rolitetracycline in rabbits after unilateral nephrectomy is presented. Rolitetracycline was injected i.v. 3.5 mg/kg before operation and after 2 weeks, 3 months and 6 months from unilateral nephroctomy. The concentration of the antibiotic in plasma was estimated by the fluorimetric method of Kohn. The two-compartment open model was applied to calculate rolitetracycline concentration changes. The calculations of pharmacokinetic parameters were performed using the Hewlett-Packard 9830B computer and fitting the concentrations of the antibiotic in blood to the general biexponential equation. AUC of rolitetracycline was increased in operated animals by 130% after 6 months. The mean kel at this time decreased, while t0.5 beta was prolonged from 1.0 h to 3.0 h. It is assumed that the dosage regimen of rolitetracycline should be changed in subjects possessing one kidney.

Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics, pathology, imaging features, and prognosis of primary renal lymphoma (PRL), a rare malignancy.
Patients And Method: We conducted a retrospective review of 14 PRL cases diagnosed between January 2009 and January 2022, with follow-up data collected from medical records.
Results: The study included 14 patients (7 males, 7 females), with a mean age of 60.

Patient engagement and shared decision-making (SDM) between patients and clinicians is the foundation of patient-centered care. It aims to reach a treatment option that fits the patient's preference and is guideline-concordant. We sought to evaluate the possible causes and outcomes of patient's non-guideline-concordant care choices.

Background: Regional anesthesia techniques that provide analgesia to the entire lateral abdomen are limited. We present a modified external oblique intercostal block for complete lateral abdominal analgesia with a single injection.
Case: We performed a modified version of the external oblique intercostal block unilaterally at the tenth rib along the mid-axillary line in three patients undergoing robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (two single injections, one catheter placement) and tested the technique on a cadaver with 20 ml of dye bilaterally.

Contrast-induced acute kidney injury is a common complication marked by reduced kidney function within 48 hours of contrast administration. The aim of this study was to evaluate renal function, anatomy, and molecular changes at 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours post-iodinated contrast media (ICM) administration. This true-experimental study used a post-test-only control group design.

Introduction: Despite the benefits of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers, their immediate use after nephrectomy has been limited because of concerns about impaired renal adaptation. We aimed to evaluate the effect of RAS blockers immediately after unilateral nephrectomy on renal adaptation.
Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study included 580 patients who underwent elective unilateral nephrectomy between 2010 and 2020 and had preexisting hypertension with antihypertensive medications.
