The Molecules Editorial Office wishes to make the following erratum to this paper [1]. There is a misspelling in the title of “Antioxidant, Lipoxygenase and Histone Deacetylase Inhibitory Activities of Acridocarbus orientalis from Al Ain and Oman.” The correct title should be “Antioxidant, Lipoxygenase and Histone Deacetylase Inhibitory Activities of Acridocarpus orientalis from Al Ain and Oman...

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have emerged as a common cause of drug induced acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) in adults. We present a 15-year-old girl with severe acute kidney injury and biopsy proven AIN attributable to omeprazole. Withdrawal of the drug and steroid therapy affected a recovery of renal function. As the use of PPIs increases in paediatrics, it is important to be aware of this...

Severe rhabdomyolysis could lead to myoglobinuria and acute kidney injury (AKI). Acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) is commonly caused by drugs. AIN per se can cause ‘severe’ AKI. Renal recovery delayed when several factors are involved in the pathogenesis of Survivors AKI require long-term follow-up. Here, we report a case where both severe drug-induced contributed dialysis-requiring biopsy wa...

Sir, Azithromycin, a well-tolerated macrolide antibiotic that can be dosed once daily, is commonly prescribed both in children and adults with respiratory tract infections. Interstitial nephritis induced by azithromycin has been previously described in two patients [1, 2]. The first case presented chronic renal failure after the second episode of acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) and the secon...

Quinine has been reported to cause acute kidney injury by various mechanisms. The response to quinine can result in a spectrum of problems ranging from isolated thrombocytopenia to thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) to disseminated intravascular coagulation. Quinine has also been reported to cause acute interstitial nephritis (AIN). We report an unusual presentation where both of these entities o...

The Infeld function expressed in terms of the outgoing prolate spheroidal radial wave function and its derivative, and employed in the expression of the input self-admittance of prolate spheroidal antennas, has accurately been calculated by using a newly developed asymptotic expression for large degree n. This asymptotic power series has been derived by using a perturbation method with a pertur...
