Why do clinicians place indwelling urinary catheters with patients in acute medical care?

, 2014
Background: Indwelling urinary catheters (IUCs) placed for short-term use in hospital frequently become long-term catheters, increasing the potential for infections, trauma and other complications.

ANGPTL4 Exacerbates Renal Injury in Diabetic Kidney Disease by Impairing Podocyte Lipophagy via Compromised Lysosomal Degradative Function

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In diabetic kidney disease, elevated podocyte ANGPTL4 is linked to reduced TFEB nuclear localization and compromised lysosomal degradative function. These changes impair podocyte lipophagy and promote lipid‐droplet accumulation and podocyte injury, which may contribute to renal injury progression.

The Natural Product Corramycin Acts as a DNA Gyrase Poison and Overcomes Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Corramycin, a myxobacterial natural product antibiotic, exhibits potent bactericidal activity against multidrug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The compound hijacks bacterial transporters such as BacA and OppABCD to enter the cell and inhibits DNA synthesis through a previously unrecognized mode of DNA gyrase poisoning, locking the enzyme in an ...

Differential Tissue‐Coupled Powering for Battery‐Free Injectable Electroceuticals

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A thread‐like injectable neural stimulator is powered through differential tissue‐coupled powering (DTCP), which harvests RF‐frequency tissue potentials with an elongated receiver while preserving a injectable cross‐section. The system integrates an ASIC, stimulation electrodes, and a portable transmitter, enabling wireless peripheral nerve stimulation,

Single‐Cell Transcriptomics and Metabolomics Reveal Glutamate Dehydrogenase as a Central Regulator of Nitrogen Metabolic Remodeling During Alkalinity Adaptation in Crustaceans

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell transcriptomics reveals the cellular response of Macrobrachium hainanense to carbonate alkalinity stress. Alkalinity stress impairs branchial ammonia excretion, induces mitochondrial dysfunction, and drives cell‐type‐specific changes in gills and hemocytes.

Kidney‐Targeted Cilastatin Nanoparticles Inhibit DPEP1‐Mediated Ferroptosis for Acute Kidney Injury Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, MPDA NPs were engineered to encapsulate CTT. To further increase renal accumulation of CTT, L‐serine was conjugated to the surface of the MPDA nanoparticles (CTT/MPDA@L‐Ser NPs). CTT/MPDA@L‐Ser NPs inhibit DPEP1 activity, thereby restoring ferroptosis defense mechanisms through upregulation of GPX4 and SLC7A11 expression, ultimately ...

USP30‐Mediated Deubiquitination of PEX5 Suppresses Pexophagy to Drive Tubular Injury in Diabetic Kidney Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
USP30 accumulation in diabetic renal tubular epithelial cells deubiquitinates PEX5, suppresses pexophagy, and drives dysfunctional peroxisome accumulation and tubular injury. USP30 depletion restores PEX5 ubiquitination and pexophagy, improves peroxisomal function, and alleviates tubular damage, highlighting USP30 as a therapeutic target in diabetic ...
