Development and Validation of Ultrasound Hemodynamic-based Prediction Models for Acute Kidney Injury After Renal Transplantation.

Rationale And Objectives: Acute kidney injury (AKI) post-renal transplantation often has a poor prognosis. This study aimed to identify patients with elevated risks of AKI after kidney transplantation.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 422 patients who underwent kidney transplants from January 2020 to April 2023.

[Progress of intersphincter resection with direct coloanal anastomosis for ultra-low rectal cancer].

In recent years, sphincter preservation and improvement of quality of life have become the primary goals in the management of low-lying rectal cancer. For lesions within 2 cm from the dentate line or more than 5 cm from the anal margin, abdominoperineal resection results in permanent stoma creation while intersphincteric resection (ISR) provides solution to sphincter function preservation and improved quality of life. This review was to summarize the current literature pertaining to this procedure, including current research progress, indications, development of ISR procedure, oncological and functional outcomes.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor successfully treated with chemotherapy and nonsteroidals: a case report.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) occurring at retroperitoneal sites has rarely been reported. We report the case of a previously well 14-year-old girl with no history of abdominal disease whose past medical history and family tumor history were unremarkable. She complained of intermittent abdominal pain for one month.
