The associations of weekend warrior and other physical activity patterns with the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in people with diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease: from NHANES 2007 –2020
ConclusionIn a population of DM and CKD, the weekend warrior pattern was similar to regular activity to lower the risk of all-cause mortality, compared with inactivity. The weekend warrior pattern was recommended for people who only have time to exercise on the weekend. However, longer and larger sample cohort studies are needed to validate our findings.

Safety of cinacalcet in children and adolescents with chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder: systematic review and proportional meta-analysis of case series
Conclusions and implications of key findingsIf used in the pediatric population, the calcimimetic cinacalcet should be carefully monitored for serum calcium levels and attention to possible adverse events, especially in children under 50  months.Systematic review registration number (PROSPERO register)CRD42019132809.

Analysis of hemorrhage upon ultrasound-guided percutaneous renal biopsy in China: a retrospective study
ConclusionOur analysis finds that the incidence of post-biopsy bleeding complication is 37.70%, and its risk is associated with female, lower BMI, lower platelet before renal biopsy, prolonged APTT, higher albumin, and postoperative urination within 4  h. The findings highlighted the importance of perioperative management for renal biopsy, including adequate risk assessment, tailored careful observation after PRB. And medical staff should pay more attention to fluid management after ultrasound-guided PRB. (Source: International Urology and Nephrology)

Comparative analysis of renal calculi treatment via different extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) pathways
ConclusionESWL emerges as a safe and efficacious approach for treating renal calculi. Our findings suggest that utilizing the ipsilateral clavicular midline shock wave pathway in ESWL necessitates less shock wave energy and enhances efficiency, particularly in cases with larger stone burdens.

Novel clinical risk calculator for improving cancer predictability of mpMRI fusion biopsy in prostates
ConclusionPI-RADS classification has relevant predictability problems for grades 3 and 4. By applying the presented risk calculators, patients with PI-RADS 3 and 4 are better stratified, and thus, a significant number of patients can be spared biopsies with potential complications, such as infection and bleeding. The presented predictive models may be a valuable diagnostic tool, adding additional information in the clinical decision-making process for biopsies. (Source: International Urology and Nephrology)

Comparison of 1-year survival between patients initiating chronic hemodialysis under public and private health insurance: register-based data analysis from Brazil
ConclusionBrazilian chronic HD patients funded by either private health plans or the public system have a similar 1-year mortality risk after controlling for several sociodemographic and clinical parameters. (Source: International Urology and Nephrology)

Predictive value of free triiodothyronine to free thyroxine ratio on contrast-associated acute kidney injury and poor prognosis in euthyroid patients after percutaneous coronary intervention
ConclusionIn euthyroid patients undergoing elective PCI, low levels of FT3/FT4 were independently associated with an increased risk of CA-AKI and long-term mortality. Routine evaluation of FT3/FT4 may aid in risk stratification and guide treatment decisions within this particular patient group. (Source: International Urology and Nephrology)

Causal effect of gut microbiota on the risk of prostatitis: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study
ConclusionOur study demonstrated a gut microbiota –prostate axis, offering crucial data supporting the promising use of the GM as a candidate target for CP prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. There is a necessity for randomized controlled trials to validate the protective effect of the linked GM against the risk of CP, and to further investigat e the underlying mechanisms involved.

Adequacy of prostate cancer prevention and screening recommendations provided by an artificial intelligence-powered large language model
ConclusionsGPT-4 displayed superior accuracy, clarity, conciseness, and readability than GPT-3.5. Though prompts influenced the quality response in both GPTs, their impact was significant only for clarity. (Source: International Urology and Nephrology)
