TL;DR: The role of auto-SCT early in the disease course and benefits of tandem SCT require further evaluation in the setting of multiple myeloma patients with renal failure as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: There is evidence to suggest that studies may have broader implication in being relevant to other aminoglycosides including streptomycin and being applicable to other major toxicity of am inoglycoside such as ototoxicity.

TL;DR: The studies demonstrated that cLDL but not nLDL induced dose-dependent vascular cell injuries relevant to atherosclerosis, which included the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial cell death, which suggest the potential role of carbamylated LDL in accelerated Atherosclerosis in patients with chronic renal disease and, possibly, in healthy individuals.

TL;DR: Pamidronate has been mainly associated with collapsing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and other glomerular diseases linked with podocyte injury and is needed to define the cause of the variability of renal histology with this agent.

TL;DR: Reduction in immunosuppression was associated with the stabilization of renal function when instituted early, and the interstitial nephritis associated with polyoma viral infection appears to be an inflammatory response to the virus rather than acute rejection.
