Abstract

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common condition that is associated with poor short- and long-term outcomes. The aim of this nationwide cohort study was to profile the long-term outcome of patients admitted for AKI in France. Based on the comprehensive French hospital discharge database, all hospitalizations for an AKI episode were categorized in four groups according to the presence of at least one dialysis session [renal replacement therapy (RRT)] and according to the coding of AKI as the principal or associated diagnosis (PRINC_DIAG or ASS_DIAG). In this nationwide cohort of 989 974 patients (median age 77 years) hospitalized with AKI during the 2009-16 period, 422 739 (43%) patients died (235 572 during the first hospitalization) and 40 015 (4%) patients reached end-stage renal disease (ESRD) (5962 during first hospitalization) up to 31 December 2016. Patients without RRT and discharged from hospital had a cumulative incidence of ESRD that ranged from 5.3% (5.2-5.4) in the ASS_DIAG group to 28.7% (27.9-29.5) in the RRT-PRINC_DIAG group at 60 months. The cumulative incidence of death ranged from 31.0% (30.2-32.2) in the RRT-ASS_DIAG group to 45.5% (45.3-45.7) in the ASS_DIAG group. Initial clinical features were associated wi...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
