Mashup Score: 0
Immunoglobulin A (IgA)-dominant infection-related glomerulonephritis is a morphologic variant of acute infection-related glomerulonephritis that typically occurs in association with staphylococcal infection. It is most common in older patients and those with diabetes, and rare in children. Patients typically present with acute kidney injury, proteinuria, and hematuria. Hypocomplementemia is present in the vast majority of the patients. The prognosis is poor, with less than 20% of patients fully recovering kidney function, most likely owing to age-related underlying kidney changes and comorbidities, including diabetic kidney disease.

Mashup Score: 1Optimising zoledronate treatment holiday duration without loss of fracture prevention - 1 hour(s) ago
Osteoporosis is characterised by reduced bone mass and disordered bone microstructure, which collectively result in increased fracture risk. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey document a prevalence of osteoporosis of 12·6% in adults aged 50 years or older in the USA, with a preponderance in women (18·8%) versus men (4·2%).1 Although reported absolute fracture rates vary somewhat by country, it is anticipated that fracture incidence will increase with ageing of the global population, with the annual number of hip fractures specifically expected to double between 2018 and 2050.
