BACKGROUND Cytomegalovirus (CMV) establishes a lifelong infection that is efficiently controlled by the immune system; this infection can be reactivated in case of immunosuppression such as following solid organ transplantation. CMV viraemia has been associated with CMV disease, as well as increased mortality and allograft failure. Prophylactic antiviral medication is routinely given to renal t...

Cellular senescence is a non-proliferative but viable state that can be induced by oncogene expression and anti-cancer therapeutics, such as BRAF inhibition, has long been considered beneficial tumor suppressive mechanism. However, senescent cells express well-characterized senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which may contribute to an immunosuppressive microenvironment increased ...

Abstract Aim Prevalence of renal colic is up to 20% worldwide, with recurrence rates approaching 50% within 10 years- making it a common acute presentation. NICE guidance (NG118) states NSAIDs are first-line analgesia for colic, followed by intravenous paracetamol and opiates. Our aim was assess compliance NG118 one NHS teaching Trust.
