Study of hydronephrosis and renal function reversibility on different development stages of rats that underwent unilateral ureteral obstruction, followed by its release through pyelostomy [PDF]

open access: yesActa Cirúrgica Brasileira
Purpose: To verify the differences in the reversibility of renal function and damage in rats of different ages with unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). Methods: Sixty rats were divided into three different groups, newborns, young, and adults.

Endoscopic laser-ablation for the treatment of orthotopic and ectopic ureteroceles in dogs: 13 cases (2008-2017). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
BACKGROUND: Ureteroceles are a rare condition in dogs in which conventional treatments can result in substantial morbidity. Cystoscopic and fluoroscopic-guided laser ablation (CLA) of ureteroceles can successfully relieve obstruction.

Soft Ionic and Electronic Triboelectric Nanogenerators: Toward Attachable and Implantable Biomedical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review provides an overview of triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG)–based biomedical applications by classifying studies into electronic and ionic systems across attachable and implantable platforms. It summarizes key material choices, device structures, and working mechanisms that characterize current TENG‐based research, and outlines six future ...

Retroperitoneal fibrosis: a case of a patient (63y/o) treated with low-dose methotrexate (MTX) and 6-methylprednisolone (6-MP) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF), is a rare fibroinflammatory disease. The pathogenesis of RPF is still unclear and numerous theories have been reported such as environmental factors, immunologic process, genetic component, local inflammation and advanced

TRAP5 Inhibition Targeting Scar‐Associated Macrophages Ameliorates Acute Kidney Injury to Chronic Kidney Disease Transition

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study delineates macrophage heterogeneity along the acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease transition. Single‐cell RNA sequencing reveals a TRAP5+ scar‐associated macrophage subset driven by Spp1–Cd44 signaling and mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming.

Loss of Renal Function After Retrograde Ureteral Placement of an Allium Stent for Severe Ureteral Stricture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: Ureteral strictures are a recurrent chronic condition that leads to severe side effects and poor quality of life. Management of ureteral stricture is a great challenge for urologists and no specific guidelines exist ...

ACLY‐Driven Metabolic Reprogramming Promotes Histone Acetylation and Inflammation‐Associated Fibrosis in Chronic Kidney Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals a citrate–ACLY–H3K27ac metabolic–epigenetic axis driving inflammatory gene activation and kidney fibrosis, highlighting ACLY inhibition as a potential therapeutic strategy for chronic kidney disease (CKD). ABSTRACT The mechanisms by which metabolic stress drives epigenetic dysregulation and fibrosis in chronic kidney disease (CKD ...

A brief review of the literature on the malignant ureteral obstruction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Malignant ureteral obstruction (MUO) caused by a primarily urological tumor or secondary to a late-stage malignancy can be difficult for the urologist to manage. Due to a lack of clinical data on the management of MUO, every case is particular and should

The Role of Extracellular Vesicles MicroRNAs in Sarcopenia: From Aging to Multi‐Morbidity

open access: yesAGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
Exosomes transporting miRNAs play a crucial bidirectional regulatory role in the process of sarcopenia, both in natural aging and under various pathological conditions. ABSTRACT Sarcopenia, defined as progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, occurs during aging and has also been recognized for its detrimental effects in various disease ...

Which Method Best Predicts Postoperative Complications: Deep Learning, Machine Learning, or Conventional Logistic Regression?

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Deep learning has shown promise in predicting postoperative complications, particularly when using image or time‐series data. However, on tabular clinical data such as the NCD, it often underperforms compared to conventional machine learning. Integrating multimodal data may enhance predictive accuracy and interpretability in surgical care.
