major pancreatic injury following blunt abdominal trauma by itself is a relatively rare occurrence, and in vast majority of cases (95%) it is associated with injury to adjacent major vessels and organs; thus making isolated major pancreatic injury even rarer. while most pancreatic injuries are managed by simple measures like debridement and drainage, complex proximal injury poses surgical chall...

background early predictive biomarkers for acute kidney injury (aki) such as neutrophil elatinase-associated lipocalin (ngal) could identify patients who may benefit from early initiation of treatment. objectives we aimed to obtain a cut off point for aki prediction by urine ngal in kidney transplantation. patients and methods in a prospective cohort study, 64 adult who underwent kidney transpl...

 Proximal humerus fractures are common, but associated injury of the axillary artery is uncommon. The majority of published blunt traumatic axillary artery injuries are associated with anterior glenohumeral dislocation; a few are associated with isolated proximal humerus fractures or fracture-dislocation. Experience within our institution demonstrates that axillary artery injury is often unreco...

background: acute kidney injury (aki) is a common and life-threatening complication following coronary artery bypass graft (cabg). neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (ngal) and cystatin c have shown to be good predictive factors for aki. recently, there has been a growing interest in the use of hypertonic saline in cardiac operations. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the prophy...

Background and Objective: Due to the importance of acute kidney injury associated in patients with sepsis and the impact of various factors on mortality and hospital stay of these patients, this study was conducted to investigate the clinical features and risk factors for acute kidney injury in patients with sepsis. In addition, we examined whether the severity of acute kidney injury affected c...
