The goal of this project is to obtain all the details about shotgun so that we can correct any mistakes made during practice. With many undetectable errors by operators at work, device aids in locating and adjusting timing adjustments accordance with their errors. This procedure carried out detecting deviations from shooters while shooting a distance. Following each session, data verified, step...

Background: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a common and serious condition encountered in hospitalized patients. The severity of kidney injury is defined by the RIFLE, AKIN, and KDIGO criteria which attempt to establish the degree of renal impairment. The KDIGO guidelines state that the creatinine clearance should be measured whenever possible in AKI and that the serum creatinine concentration and...

WE are all, I suppose, a little prone to assume that what is new to us is necessarily new to everyone else; and that of what we have lately learned others must necessarily be ignorant. The mere fact that I mention such a truism may, however, be taken as a proof that I do not share in the belief. In this South African caapaign-rather prematurely called in some quarters the Transvaal war-there ar...

Rectal impalement injuries are uncommon. Two cases are described of soldiers who suffered similar injuries due to accidental impalement on the barrel of a self-loading rifle.

OBJECTIVES To apply the RIFLE criteria "risk," "injury," and "failure" for severity of acute kidney injury to patients admitted to the intensive care unit and to evaluate the significance of other prognostic factors. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of the Riyadh Intensive Care Program database. SETTING Riyadh Intensive Care Unit Program database of 41,972 patients admitted to 22 intensive car...

Epidemiological studies of acute kidney injury (AKI) and acute-on-chronic renal failure (ACRF) are surprisingly sparse and confounded by differences in definition. Reported incidences vary, with few studies being population-based. Given this and our aging population, the incidence of AKI may be much higher than currently thought. We tested the hypothesis that the incidence is higher by includin...

BACKGROUND An increasing number of septua- and octogenarians undergo cardiac surgery. Acute kidney injury (AKI) still is a frequent complication after surgery. We examined the incidence of AKI and its impact on 30-day mortality. METHODS A retrospective study between 01/2006 and 08/2009 with 299 octogenarians, who were matched for gender and surgical procedure to 299 septuagenarians at a unive...

BACKGROUND Prognostic factors for the combination of long-term survival and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after intensive care unit (ICU) stay have not yet been studied. Our aim was to assess whether early acute kidney injury (eAKI), AKI occurring on the first day of ICU admission, is an independent predictor of this combined one-year outcome. METHODS We included all patients admitte...

BACKGROUND To investigate the predictive value of decreased urine output based on the Risk of renal dysfunction, Injury to the kidney, Failure of kidney function, Loss of kidney function and End-stage renal disease (RIFLE) classification on contrast- induced acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) in intensive care (ICU) patients. METHODS All patients who received contrast media (CM) injection for CT sc...
