Stage-specific Arf tumor suppression in Notch1-induced T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Blood, 09/22/2009

Volanakis EJ et al. – Use of cultured thymocyte–derived donor cells expressing a functionally null Arf–GFP knock–in allele confirmed that ICN1 signaling can induce Arf expression in vivo. Arf [more...]

Underdiagnosis of acute rheumatic fever in primary care settings in a developing country
Tropical Medicine & International Health, 09/09/2009

ARF at these clinics is nearly twice that reported in a local hospital–based study, but it is likely to under–represent the actual number of cases presenting to primary care. There is a need for better surveillance for ARF and to develop simple and practical approaches to diagnosing ARF [more...]

Acute renal failure due to pericardial tamponade in a 60-year-old male patient
Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology, 08/13/2009

V et al. – Acute renal failure (ARF) is still a considerable factor in hospital morbidity and mortality. This clinical condition occurs in up to 25% of critically ill patients. Mortality in these patients varies widely depending on the cause. ARF in the context of a large pericardial effusion ... often been reported. [more...]

Drug-induced interstitial nephritis in a child with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome
Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 10/30/2009

N et al. – ARF is a serious but rare complication in children with INS. Drug–induced AIN may cause ARF in these children and it is important to consider the same in the differrential diagnosis. An observation which should be emphasized in our study is that ARF due to drug–induced [more...]

The persistent challenge of rheumatic fever in the Northern Mariana Islands
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 08/06/2009

ARF in the Northern Mariana Islands, delineating the large disease burden in the indigenous and other Pacific Island ethnic groups. Impediments to diagnosis and primary and secondary prevention were identified. The data provide strong support for the need for primary and secondary prevention of ARF [more...]

Treatment of Acute Renal Failure in the Intensive Care Unit: Lower Costs by Intermittent Dialysis Than Continuous Venovenous Hemodiafiltration
Artificial Organs, 08/03/2009

198 +– 63 min per IHD treatment. Total costs for RRT in ICU patients with ARF were lower when treated with IHD than with CVVHDF, and have to be taken into account for the selection of the method of RRT in ARF on the ICU. [more...]

Severe acute renal failure in a patient with diabetic ketoacidosis
Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 09/04/2009

al. – The authors suggest that early initiation of renal replacement therapy for patients with DKA developing ARF may improve the potentially poor outcome of patients with ARF associated with DKA. [more...]

Mortality Trends Associated with Acute Renal Failure Requiring Dialysis after CABG Surgery in the United States
Blood Purification, 09/02/2009

Nicoara A et al. – The incidence of post–CABG ARF–D more than doubled from 1988 to 2003, while mortality simultaneously decreased by over one–third. Improved survival after ARF–D following CABG may be counterbalanced by increased morbidity and [more...]

Trends in Cardiac Surgery-Associated Acute Renal Failure in the United States: A Disproportionate Increase after Heart Transplantation
Renal Failure, 10/29/2009

Martinelli SM et al. – The incidence of ARF is also increasing at a faster rate in this group of patients in contrast to other procedure groups when compared to CABG surgery. The disproportionate increase in ARF burden after heart transplantation is a concern due to its [more...]

Risk factors and outcome of acute renal failure in patients with severe acute pancreatitis
Journal of Critical Care, 10/02/2009

Li H et al. – The significant risk factors for ARF in patients with SAP include history of renal disease, hypoxemia, and ACS. Measures that can prevent ARF include homeostasis maintenance, adequate perfusion of the kidneys, adequate oxygenation, and [more...]
