TL;DR: Patients who develop AKI during a hospitalization are at substantial risk for the development of CKD by 1 year following hospitalization and timing ofAKI recovery is a strong predictor, even for the mildest forms of AKI.

TL;DR: The presence of clock genes in the myenteric plexus and epithelial cells suggests a role forclock genes in circadian coordination of gastrointestinal functions such as motility, cell proliferation, and migration.

TL;DR: Changes in the Medicare reimbursement policy in 2004 and 2005 were associated with reductions in ADT use, particularly among men for whom the benefits of such therapy were unclear.

TL;DR: Following a period of rapid expansion during the 1990s, incident and prevalent use of ADT has leveled, and may be starting to decline, and further research is needed to monitor how reductions in reimbursement for GnRH agonists will affect appropriate use ofADT as well as use in settings where its benefits may be marginal.
