Long-term results after surgical basal cell carcinoma excision in the eyelid region: revisited.
The aim of the study was to readdress basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in the periocular region to prove the efficacy of histologically controlled surgical treatment and to identify high-risk characteristics. Retrospective analysis of 451 microscopically controlled BCC excisions in the periocular region. Tumor location, tumor size, AJCC 7 classification, and histological results were recorded. ⋯ The recurrence rate increases with every operation needed. Sclerosing BCCs with deep extension at the medial canthus bear the greatest risk for recurrence. In such cases, centers of expertise should be consulted and additional treatment options should be considered.

Baseline systemic inflammatory indices and clinicopathological features to predict the outcome of acute tubulointerstitial nephritis : A single-center retrospective study.
Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (AIN) is an immune-mediated disorder that can cause acute kidney injury (AKI). We aimed to investigate the characteristics of patients with AIN and predictive factors for treatment response. ⋯ Treatment response rates are low for AIN, which may lead to ESKD. Besides chronicity in histopathology specimens, higher baseline hemoglobin levels and lower platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio might be prognostic. Further studies should be conducted on new markers for AIN.

Predictors of static and dynamic balance control in kidney transplant recipients.
We aimed to evaluate balance control and lower extremity muscle strength in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) including a comparison to a healthy control group and determine the predictors of static and dynamic balance control after kidney transplantation. ⋯ Balance control, both static and dynamic, are impaired in KTRs as well as lower extremity muscle strength. Hemoglobin level is a predictor of static balance control whereas body weight is a predictor of dynamic balance control after kidney transplantation.
