Article Abstract
Background: Computerized tomography (CT) severity scores are frequently used as an objective staging tool in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has also been proposed as a valid option in CRS imaging.
Purpose: The aim of this systematic review was to briefly present the recent developments on sinus imaging utilized in clinical practice with regard to diagnostic accuracy of imaging and severity staging in CRS according to evidence-based medicine (EBM) principles.
Material And Methods: This review paper has been assembled following PRISMA guidelines. A PubMed and Scopus (EMBASE) search using CRS, "severity staging", "diagnostic accuracy "and "imaging "resulted with 80 results. Of these, only 12 (59%) contained original data, constituting the synthesis of best-quality available evidence.
Results: CT is the most commonly used imaging technique for the severity staging of CRS, but a question of higher cumulative radiation dose should be taken into consideration when repeating CT examinations in evaluating treatment efficacy. MRI may be a complementary diagnostic and staging tool, especially when repeated examinations are required, or when paediatric CRS patients are evaluated. The severity staging system may be improved to better correlate with subjective scores.
Conclusions: MRI may be utilized as a staging tool with comparable diagnostic accuracy, using the same staging systems as with CT examinations.

This study aimed to develop a predictive model and construct a graded nomogram to estimate the risk of severe acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients without preexisting kidney dysfunction undergoing liver transplantation (LT). Patients undergoing LT between January 2022 and June 2023 were prospectively screened. Severe AKI was defined as Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes stage 3.

The diagnosis of hemolysis is still based on straightforward biochemical parameters: haptoglobin (the most sensitive), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and unconjugated bilirubin. Anemia is not always present. Reticulocyte counts typically exceed 120×10/L, except in cases of associated vitamin deficiency or during the very early phase of acute hemolysis.

We herein report two cases of immunotactoid glomerulopathy (ITG) associated with multiple myeloma treated with daratumumab-based regimens. The first patient was an 81-year-old woman with severe renal insufficiency and IgAκ multiple myeloma (MM) that progressed to end-stage renal disease despite administering daratumumab-based therapy. The second patient, a 69-year-old man with smoldering MM, showed a favorable response to daratumumab-based treatment, with a resolution of nephrotic proteinuria.

Purpose: Sex differences in Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) incidence have been well documented, yet little is known about whether the effect of sex on postoperative outcomes. This study aims to investigate the sex differences of postoperative outcomes of HSCR using propensity score matching (PSM) analysis.
Methods: Retrospective review of 304 patients with HSCR who received single-stage laparoscopic transanal pull-through modified Swenson procedure in a single-center was conducted with assessments of clinical data.

Background: Balancing the risks of thrombotic and bleeding events in people with advanced kidney disease is a clinical challenge.
Objectives: To estimate rates of major adverse thrombotic events (MATEs) and bleeding events in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 4 or 5 or with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) receiving hemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD).
Methods: Using administrative claims from a 20% Medicare sample, Optum's de-identified Clinformatics Data Mart Database, and the US Renal Data System from 2016-2019, we identified individuals with CKD stages 4 or 5 and individuals with dialysis-dependent ESKD.
