Early Stent Removal at Bedside Decreases Urinary Tract Infection in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Monocentric Prospective Study

open access: yesTransplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Early bedside removal of the ureteral stent proved feasible and well tolerated, achieving a high level of patient satisfaction. This approach was associated with a reduced incidence of urinary tract infections, without a statistically significant increase in major urological complications. ABSTRACT Background During kidney transplantation, the use of a

Bilateral Encrusted Metallic Stent Successfully Removed by Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy Using a Ho:YAG Laser in a Patient with Malignant Myeloma

open access: yesCase Reports in Oncology, 2020
Ureteral stent encrustation is sometimes encountered, especially in cases in which a ureteral stent has been forgotten. An 84-year-old female patient with malignant myeloma underwent metallic ureteral stent insertion to treat malignant ureteral ...

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

URETERAL METASTASIS AS THE FIRST MANIFESTATION OF ASYMPTOMATIC GASTRIC CANCER [PDF]

open access: yes
Ureteral metastasis from gastric cancer is rare. It is usually diagnosed in the setting of an advanced gastric cancer or on postmortem examination. Isolated ureteral metastasis without involvement of other sites is extremely rare. We describe a 67-year-

Expression characteristics of dual‐specificity phosphatase 2 and hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1α in acute kidney injury and preliminary study of the effect of dual‐specificity phosphatase 2 on HK‐2 cells

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a global health problem with significant long‐term harm if the prognosis is poor. Dual‐specificity phosphatase 2 (DUSP2) is involved in key regulatory pathways in several disease processes, but its function in renal pathophysiology is unclear.

Cellular microenvironment of erythropoietin‐producing cells in hypoxic and injured mouse kidneys

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The main sources of circulating erythropoietin (Epo) in the adult are kidney Norn cells, a recently identified interstitial cell type capable of becoming renal Epo‐producing (REP) cells following a local decrease in tissue oxygenation. REP cells are restricted to small clusters in the corticomedullary border region, suggesting that their ...
