Observational Study
Association between diuretic administration before diagnosis and incidence of acute kidney injury in patients with minimal change disease: A single-center observational study.
We examined the association between diuretic administration before the diagnosis of minimal change disease and the incidence of acute kidney injury. Moreover, we examined whether the use of diuretics affected the time to complete remission in adults with such disease. The present study was a single-center, retrospective, observational cohort study. ⋯ On multivariable logistic regression analysis, the use of diuretics was significantly associated with a higher risk of acute kidney injury. The use of diuretics was also associated with a longer time to complete remission. Diuretic administration can be associated with an elevated acute kidney injury risk and longer remission time in adult patients with newly diagnosed minimal change disease.

Case Reports
A case report of aggressive course of CD30+ primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
CD30+ primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (PC-ALCL) is a rare T-cell neoplasm, and has been reported to present with an indolent behavior. The PC-ALCL with aggressive behavior has not been reported in the literature. ⋯ An aggressive disease course is rare for indolent CD30+ PC-ALCL, which has similar histopathological characteristics as indolent PC-ALCL. The radiotherapy strategy should be individualized with curative intent.
