A comparison of pre- and post-operative outcomes in living donors undergoing transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy and open nephrectomy: a retrospective single-center study
CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy can be safely performed at centers with expertise in laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy has better outcomes than open donor nephrectomy in terms of length of hospital stay, duration of urinary catheterization, operating time, and blood loss.PMID:38088685 | PMC:PMC10708893 | DOI:10.1590/1516-3180.2022.0488.R1.070723 (Source: Sao Paulo Medical Journal)

When the fever will not stop, stop the pills! A case report
CONCLUSION: Antipsychotic agents are commonly employed to manage behavioral changes linked to various disorders. However, their severe side effects necessitate a high degree of vigilance, the cessation of all medications, and the implementation of supportive care measures. A prompt and accurate diagnosis of NMS is crucial to alleviating the severe, prolonged morbidity and potential mortality associated with this syndrome.PMID:38055420 | PMC:PMC10703491 | DOI:10.1590/1516-3180.2022.0401.R1.13032023 (Source: Sao Paulo Medical Journal)
