Six operations for kidney autotransplantation into the ipsilateral iliac fossa were conducted on children aged from 2 to 14 years. In 2 children the operation was performed for a posttraumatic defect in the ureter of a considerable length. Severe neuromuscular dysplasia of the ureter in maintained function of the kidney was the indication for operating on 4 children. No complications occurred in 5 operations. One transplanted kidney had to be removed because of renal artery thrombosis resulting from damage inflicted to the endothelium during washing of the kidney. Operation for autotransplantation of the kidney is a permissible alternative of the traditional methods of replacement or plastics in long posttraumatic strictures and congenital developmental anomalies of the ureter.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Furosemide Stress Test and Cystatin-C for Predicting Acute Kidney Injury Progression in Children: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Indian J Pediatr
January 2025
Department of Pediatrics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur, India.
Objectives: To evaluate the predictive ability of furosemide stress test (FST), serum and urine cystatin-C in identifying progressive acute kidney injury (AKI) and the need for kidney replacement therapy (KRT).
Methods: Children aged one month to 18 y admitted in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with Kidney Diseases Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) stage-1/2 AKI were enrolled. FST and serum and urine cystatin-C levels were performed and analyzed.
Impact of hemoadsorption with CytoSorb® on meropenem and piperacillin exposure in critically ill patients in a post-CKRT setup: a single-center, retrospective data analysis.

Purpose: CytoSorb® (CS) adsorbent is a hemoadsorption filter for extracorporeal blood purification often integrated into continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT). It is primarily used in critically ill patients with sepsis and related conditions, including cytokine storms and systemic inflammatory responses. Up to now, there is no evidence nor recommendation for the use of CS filters in sepsis (22).

Southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) are mysticete cetaceans commonly observed in the coastal waters of Brazil, particularly in Santa Catarina State. There is limited understanding of the causes of calf mortality in this species, particularly concerning infectious diseases. We report a case of omphalophlebitis caused by Streptococcus equi subsp.

Background: Previous studies have suggested a potential role of estrogen in the pathophysiology of chronic kidney disease (CKD); however, the association and causality between estrogen and kidney function remain unclear.
Methods: The cross-sectional correlation between serum estradiol concentration and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) was analyzed using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013-2016. Causality was tested using mutual bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) approaches based on six large-scale GWAS studies.
Assessment of the Potential Clinical and Economic Impact of Weight Loss in the Adult Population with Obesity and Associated Comorbidities in Spain.

Department of Endocrinology and Nutrition, Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge-IDIBELL, C/de la Feixa Llarga S/N, 08907, Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain.
Introduction: Obesity and its complications are associated with high morbidity/mortality and a significant healthcare cost burden in Spain. It is therefore essential to know the potential clinical and economic benefits of reducing obesity. The objective of this study is to predict the decrease in rates of onset of potential complications associated with obesity and the cost savings after a weight loss of 15% over 10 years in Spain.
