Article Abstract
Spot urine samples are often taken for emergency radiobioassay to provide a quick dose assessment for contaminated individuals. The subsequent dosimetric analysis requires a urinary output normalization method to adjust spot sampling to daily urine excretion. A rapid specific gravity method that was developed for 24-h urinary output correction is described. Spot urine samples were collected from volunteers of different race, gender, and age to validate the normalization method. Results show that a specific gravity test is a fast, easy and robust method to correct the urine excretion in the event of a radiation emergency.

Aims: Intravenous tolvaptan sodium phosphate (IV-tolvaptan) is a novel aquaretic agent for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). This study evaluated its short-term effects and prognostic implications in clinical practice.
Methods And Results: In this retrospective cohort of 169 consecutive ADHF patients receiving IV-tolvaptan for the first time (mean age 76.

Introduction: True isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) in youth must be evaluated by central blood pressure to avoid false or spurious hypertension. The purpose of this study was to perform a reliable assessment to confirm true hypertension and assess target organ damage.
Methods: Fifty-eight early diagnosed, untreated systolic hypertensive patients with office BP and 24-h ABPM (25±4, 32 male) underwent central blood pressure evaluation with a non-invasive, validated Mobil-O-Graph device.

Introduction: Warm ischemia during kidney transplantation contributes to graft dysfunction. External cooling devices have been developed to preserve graft during anastomosis, with promising results in experimental models. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of renal cooling devices.

Objective: To describe the management of a nondeflating urinary catheter balloon via transrectal centesis in a dog and to propose an algorithm for the nonsurgical management of this adverse event in dogs.
Case Summary: A mature neutered male crossbreed dog presented with a <24-h history of acute paraplegia secondary to a T13-L1 hydrated nucleus pulposus extrusion. During placement of an indwelling urinary catheter, the Foley balloon reservoir was inadvertently inflated in the proximal urethra.
