Join us for this powerful healing session on the renal system (kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra) that allows our bodies to live waste free from all the cellular processes going on to keep us alive. We will be utilizing advanced Arcturian Healing Method frequencies to systematically heal and balance each of the organs involved in the renal systems as well as how the system interacts in a healthy and balanced manner with the other physiological systems in our body. We will also be using frequencies to work at the cellular and DNA levels. Finally there will be a 10 minute Arcturian Renal Transmission with direct energies, consciousness, and frequencies from the Arcturians to heal the renal system.After the healing we will do a 30 minute New Moon Arcturian Pillar of Light meditation to set up and plant new goals and intentions for this coming month and year. This is a great time to start new projects or work on aspects of our spiritual or personal life that you would like to see come to fruition in the coming months. The powerful new moon energies and group energy field created by the event will assist in empowering these new goals and intentions as well as intentions set in previous months that have not come to fruition yet.
Join us as we explore anaemia of chronic kidney disease. We explore what it means and the varied pathophysiological mechanisms that drives this disorder. We also talk about practical ways of approaching diagnosis.

El médico cirujano Francisco Osella estuvo al frente de un hito sanitario sin precedentes en la Fundación Favaloro al llevar a cabo el primer trasplante renal asistido por robot en Argentina e Hispanoamérica. La innovadora intervención entre hermanas demostró los múltiples beneficios de reducir sustancialmente el tamaño de las incisiones y optimizar el proceso de recuperación del paciente.
El doctor Sebastián Cabrera advierte que la cantidad de pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica que requieren terapias de sustitución o trasplantes seguirá creciendo de manera sostenida en Chile, debido al envejecimiento de la población y el aumento de patologías como la obesidad o diabetes.En conversación con Una Nueva Mañana, el experto en trasplante renal explicó que "estamos envejeciendo como país y la enfermedad renal se asocia a la edad", sumado a que el estilo de vida occidental ha generado "mucha más diabetes, que son motores bien importantes actualmente en la generación de pacientes".El especialista enfatizó que el sistema de salud debe mejorar la detección temprana ya que "cada vez que aparece un paciente que dice que era sano y de la noche a la mañana apareció con enfermedad renal crónica, es un fracaso de nuestro sistema".Además, conversamos con Claudio Vergara sobre el fenómeno BTS: el éxito de la banda de k-pop, su impacto cultural y económico, la lealtad de la "Army" o fanaticada del conjunto, y qué pasará con los conciertos anunciados para octubre ante la falta de recinto para recibirlos.Una Nueva Mañana.

BUFFALO, NY – July 6, 2026 – A new #casereport was #published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget on July 2, 2026, titled “Renal oncocytoma: Α case report and literature review.” The study was led by first and corresponding author Areti Kalfoutzou from the Second Propaedeutic Department of Internal Medicine, Attikon General Hospital, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece. Renal oncocytoma is a rare benign tumor of the kidney that accounts for approximately 5–9% of renal epithelial tumors. Although it is considered benign, it often resembles kidney cancer on imaging studies, making accurate diagnosis challenging. Because treatment strategies differ substantially between benign oncocytoma and malignant renal tumors, establishing the correct diagnosis is essential to avoid unnecessary surgery while ensuring appropriate patient care. In this report, the researchers describe the case of an 82-year-old woman who presented with two months of gross hematuria. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) identified a 55 × 34 mm exophytic lesion arising from the upper pole of the left kidney. Based on its imaging characteristics, the mass was initially classified as a Bosniak category IV renal lesion, raising strong suspicion for renal malignancy.

Send us Fan MailIn this Journal Club episode, Daphna reviews a retrospective cohort study from Istanbul examining clinical, laboratory, and ultrasound factors associated with UTI in neonates hospitalized for unexplained hyperbilirubinemia. Among 96 term and near-term infants, 31% had culture-proven UTIs, a striking prevalence. Pathological renal ultrasound findings were independently associated with UTI, with affected neonates 4.6 times more likely to have a concurrent infection. Notably, standard laboratory markers including CRP and white blood cell count failed to distinguish UTI-positive from UTI-negative infants. The findings prompt a practical question: should urine culture be part of the routine workup for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia?----Renal ultrasonography findings are associated with urinary tract infection in neonates with asymptomatic hyperbilirubinemia.

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Swati Mehta and Dr. Lee Schulman Shapiro about their study examining early- and late-onset scleroderma renal crisis using data from three patient cohorts. They discuss key clinical findings, including important differences related to sex, autoantibodies, presentation, dialysis outcomes, and long-term prognosis, as well as the implications for patient care. The conversation also explores the personal journeys of both guests—from Dr. Mehta's path from northern India to a career at the intersection of nephrology and rheumatology, to Dr. Shapiro's reflections on nearly five decades in clinical practice and life after retirement.
A guide to diagnosing, imaging, and managing acute renal colic and nephrolithiasis in the ED. Hosts: Brian Gilberti, MD Avir Mitra, MD https://media.blubrry.com/coreem/content.blubrry.com/coreem/Nephrolithiasis.mp3 Download Leave a Comment Tags: Kidney Stones, Urology Show Notes 1. CLINICAL CORE & PHYSIOLOGIC FRAMEWORK Epidemiologic Risk Profiles Lifetime incidence parameters hover around 1 in 11, presenting with a prominent male sex skew. Peak demographic manifestation concentrated within the 30–60 age band. High-yield temporal parameter: 50% recurrence vector within a 5-year post-initial-insult window. Mineralogical Composition Vectors Calcium oxalate crystals represent the predominant structural matrix. Struvite configurations (magnesium ammonium phosphate matrix) account for 1–2% of cohorts. Struvite stones function explicitly as infection-driven configurations secondary to upper tract proliferation; higher distribution index noted in female cohorts. Etiological & Modifiable Relational Dynamics Profound systemic dehydration or low baseline fluid throughput states. High-sodium diet structures and heavy animal-protein consumption loads. Positive genetic/familial history variables. Relative risk modulation: Each variable independently operates to expand baseline risk by a factor of 2x to 3x. Pathophysiologic Symptom Complexes Acute, sudden-onset, maximum-intensity (10/10) unilateral flank pain. Classic structural radiation vector tracking downward toward the ipsilateral groin/genitourinary dermatomes. Distinctive behavioral marker: Renal colic pacing/writhing behavior with zero antalgic position availability. Concomitant autonomic triggers: Nausea and emesis manifest in 50% of acute presentations. Physical Exam Discordance Metrics Severe subjective distress contrasted with a characteristically soft, completely non-tender abdominal palpation exam. CVA tenderness is completely variable and lacks reliable negative predictive value. Atypical Presentation Classifications Vague, poorly localized abdominal pain presentations occurring in up to 20% of active cases. Isolated lower urinary tract irritative signs including acute frequency or severe urgency. Incidental & Asymptomatic Dynamics Silent intrarenal or ureteral stones found incidentally. Longitudinal tracking demonstrates up to 33.3% of initially asymptomatic cohorts convert to fully symptomatic renal colic within a multi-year tracking window. 2. EXCLUSION DIAGNOSES & CRITICAL PATHWAY RED FLAGS Vascular Mimics: AAA rupture/expansion. This is a mandatory exclusion pathway in elderly cohorts presenting with acute flank or back pain. Physical tracking requires active exploration for an expansile, pulsatile abdominal mass. Gynecologic Emergencies: Ruptured ectopic pregnancy. Demands universal screening protocols via rapid beta-hCG testing in all female patients of childbearing potential presenting with lower abdominal/pelvic localization. Infectious Upper Tract Decompensation: Acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis. Differentiated via persistent high spikes, high fevers, systemic shaking chills, and profound pyuria. Genitourinary Structural Crises: Acute testicular torsion. Mandates a thorough, explicit scrotal/testicular structural exam if the flank pain radiates into the scrotum. Gastrointestinal and Adnexal Torsional Confounds: Acute appendicitis variants, acute mesenteric/bowel ischemia, and ovarian torsion syndromes. 3. LABORATORY TESTING & PHYSIOLOGIC EVALUATION Urinalysis Interpretation Nuances Microscopic or gross hematuria presents in approximately 66% to 90% of acute cases. Critical Pathological Caveat: Complete absence of hematuria documented in 20% to 33.3% of confirmed, acute obstructing ureteral stones. Diagnostic rule: A pristine urinalysis with zero red blood cells is entirely insufficient to exclude acute ureterolithiasis. Urinary pH as a Composition Clue Consistently low urinary pH parameters (pH < 5.5) point strongly toward a uric acid crystalline composition. Elevated urinary pH parameters (pH > 7.5) indicate the presence of urease-producing microbial pathogens, pointing toward a struvite infection stone. Infectious Screening Metrics Active tracking for marked pyuria, positive leukocyte esterase, and bacterial nitrites to rule out an obstructed, infected upper urinary tract system. BMP Immediate quantification of baseline serum creatinine to establish accurate eGFR values. Targeting detection of post-renal AKI from bilateral obstruction, unilateral obstruction in a single functioning kidney, or severe volume depletion. CBC Evaluation for marked leukocytosis. Physiologic Nuance: Mild-to-moderate white blood cell count elevations frequently represent non-specific stress demargination driven by severe pain and repetitive vomiting. High-grade white blood cell shifts demand immediate exclusion of systemic bacteremia or an infected, obstructed urinary system. Adjunctive Lab Pathways Rapid qualitative urine hCG testing. Reflex urine culture execution whenever urinalysis metrics display significant inflammatory profiles or clinical suspicion of UTI is high. 4. IMAGING MODALITIES & ALGORITHMIC CLINICAL SELECTION Non-Contrast CT Diagnostics Gold standard; diagnostic sensitivity and specificity parameters exceed 95% for stones >2 mm. Provides precise quantification of stone diameter (mm), exact localization (proximal, mid, or distal ureter), and degree of secondary hydronephrosis. Excellent structural visualization for detecting or ruling out alternate retroperitoneal, vascular, or intra-abdominal pathologies. Contrast-Enhanced CT Protocols Indicated when alternative intra-abdominal surgical pathology is highly suspected over isolated renal colic. Retains diagnostic capability to identify urinary tract stones >3 mm even within contrast-enhanced phases. NCCT Structural Architecture Limitations Standard stone protocol CT scans are executed in a prone position without IV contrast enhancement. It does not opacify the ureteral lumen. Presents a cumulative radiation exposure penalty when utilized serially across recurrent ED presentations. POCUS / Radiology Ultrasound Direct stone visualization capabilities are modest, operating at approximately 50% to 60% sensitivity, and is highly dependent on anatomical positioning at the extreme proximal ureter or the UVJ. Secondary obstruction tracking: Demonstration of hydronephrosis operates at a high sensitivity of approximately 80%. POCUS Clinical Utility Metrics Eliminates ionizing radiation exposure and allows immediate, rapid real-time execution directly at the patient’s bedside. Confirmation of significant hydronephrosis within a classic clinical presentation yields high post-test probability for stone presence while lowering suspicion for vascular catastrophes like a AAA. KUB Radiography Extremely poor overall diagnostic sensitivity, hovering around 57%. Fails to image radiolucent configurations (pure uric acid matrices) or small stones measuring
In this powerful episode of Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast, host Dee Moore is joined by Rebecca Griffiths, who shares her extraordinary journey through kidney failure, dialysis, kidney transplantation and transplant loss. Rebecca's story is one of resilience, determination and hope. After gaining approximately 25kg of fluid in a matter of days and requiring emergency treatment to drain fluid from around her heart, she found herself facing kidney failure without the support of a renal team. What followed was a life-changing journey that included dialysis, a kidney transplant, the devastating loss of that transplant and the challenge of starting again. In this episode, Rebecca discusses:
La carne forma parte importante de la alimentación y de la cultura mexicana. Las necesidades nutricionales cambian a lo largo de la vida. Durante la infancia y la adolescencia, por ejemplo, el crecimiento acelerado requiere un adecuado aporte de proteínas y otros nutrientes.Más allá de preferencias personales o estilos de alimentación, lo importante es tomar decisiones informadas y procurar una dieta que cubra las necesidades nutricionales de cada persona. En este podcast del El Expresso de las 10 escucha las recomendaciones de la nutrióloga Jeannette Bueno Maestra en Nutrición Clínica, Educadora en Diabetes, en Nutrición Renal y Bariátrica. Nutrióloga Certificada con más de 20 años de experiencia en la consultoría privada en torno al consumo de carne.

In a new pharmaphorum podcast, web editor Nicole Raleigh speaks with Dr Ramy Younes, Corporate Vice President, Global Head of Clinical Development, CardioRenalMetabolism, at Boehringer Ingelheim. The conversation explores the crisis beyond obesity that many clinicians and health systems are now grappling with: that obesity can't be treated as a short-term, weight-loss lifestyle issue. Rather, it needs to be managed as a complex, chronic, multi-organ disease. Younes discusses how liver disease is often missed in cardiometabolic risk and is referred to as the ‘liver blind spot', as well as what integrated pathways can do to improve outcomes and ease system pressure.
Two articles in CMAJ look at endometriosis from sharply different angles. One shows how devastating delayed recognition can be, following a patient whose deep infiltrating endometriosis led to renal atrophy, bowel obstruction, sciatic nerve impingement and a permanent ostomy. The other offers a more reassuring picture, finding only a small increased risk of congenital anomalies among infants born to patients with endometriosis. Together, they show why endometriosis deserves earlier recognition, better imaging and more serious clinical attention.Dr. Sony Singh, chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Ottawa and head of the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Newborn Care at The Ottawa Hospital, discusses the CMAJ practice article, “Renal atrophy, bowel obstruction, and sciatic nerve impingement secondary to endometriosis”. He explains how deep infiltrating endometriosis can invade adjacent organs and cause severe fibrosis when left untreated.Bailey Milne, a PhD candidate in epidemiology at Queen's University, discusses the CMAJ article, Risk of congenital anomalies for infants born to patients with endometriosis: a population-based cohort study. She emphasizes that although the study found a small increased risk of congenital anomalies, the overall risk remains low.For physicians, the episode highlights the importance of considering endometriosis in patients with cyclical pelvic, abdominal, bowel, urinary or sexual pain, even when initial imaging is normal.For more information from our sponsor, go to md.ca/lifeplanComments or questions?

Send us Fan MailPaper Discussed in this Episode:Integrating AI-Powered Digital Pathology With Case-Based Teaching: A Novel Paradigm for Renal Education in Medical School. Zhou H, Cui L. Clin Teach 2026; 23(3):e70421. doi: 10.1111/tct.70421.Episode Summary: In this journal club episode tailored for healthcare trailblazers, we explore a massive paradigm shift in medical education. We examine a 2026 perspective article that uses the notoriously complex field of renal pathology as a stress test for a brand-new teaching model. Moving away from dark lecture halls and static, perfect images, we discuss what happens when artificial intelligence is actively combined with flipped classrooms, fundamentally redefining what it means to be a competent physician in the digital age.In This Episode, We Cover:• The "Bottleneck" of Renal Pathology: Why the kidney is the ultimate teaching hurdle. Students must translate the dense, flattened 2D reality of an H&E stain into an understanding of a patient's complex systemic autoimmune response.• The Danger of the "Curated Reality": Why traditional teaching methods that rely on textbook-perfect, heavily curated slides create "brittle" mental models. When students finally encounter messy, real-world biopsies with overlapping, ambiguous pathologies, the traditional educational foundation falls apart.• The "Spell Checker" for Histopathology: How collaborative AI elevates Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) beyond just high-resolution screens. The AI acts as a concurrent guide, using pixel-level pattern recognition to highlight regions of interest simultaneously and simulate the complex reasoning process of an expert pathologist.• The Case-Based Flipped Classroom (CBFC): The pedagogical engine that anchors these AI tools in clinical reality. Instead of passive lectures, students are handed the "detective's case file" beforehand to actively interrogate annotated slides, synthesizing diverse data streams to defend diagnoses in collaborative groups.• Redefining Medical Competence (The "Clinical Editor"): Why the new bottleneck in medical education isn't memorization—it's critical appraisal. We discuss the necessity of teaching "digital literacy," training students to skeptically manage AI, recognize its blind spots (like confusing a physical tissue fold for an abnormality), and actively audit the algorithm against the messy human reality of the patient.• The Impending Culture Collision: A look at the fascinating future where freshly minted, AI-native residents enter a legacy clinical workforce still transitioning away from physical glass slides, potentially reversing traditional medical hierarchies in the hospital.Key Takeaway: The goal of modern medical education is no longer just memorizing histological patterns, as that heavy lifting is being outsourced to algorithms. By fusing AI-powered digital pathology with the necessary friction of case-based learning, we are training a new generation of diagnosticians to view AI not as a crutch, but as a powerful collaborative tool that must be thoughtfully scrutinized and audited for safe patient careSupport the showGet the "Digital Pathology 101" FREE E-book and join us!
