Background: The need for renal replacement therapy (RRT) is an uncommon but severe complication following post-cardiac surgery AKI, however there is limited data on the incidence of renal recovery. This study evaluates the rate of renal recovery in cardiac surgery patients that require postoperative RRT and survive to discharge, and describes the clinical factors associated with higher rates of recovery.

Methods: All adult patients without preoperative dialysis, heart transplantation, or durable left ventricular assist device who required new onset postoperative RRT after cardiac surgery from 2011-2022 at a high-volume referral center were included.

Pharyngeal myoclonus is a rare movement disorder characterized by rhythmic pharyngeal contractions, typically reported in adults with neurological lesions and rarely in children. We report a seven-year-old girl who experienced involuntary clicking sounds localized to the right ear. Nasopharyngoscopy revealed pharyngeal myoclonus without structural abnormalities, and brain and laryngeal MRI were unremarkable.
